Warning: This Message is Coming to you from over the Green Line!
If you want to Boycott the settlements you should not read it.
Not only is our location a settlement it is also a whole city, Beitar-Ilit, and all in Liberated Territory!
We seem to be the second largest (after Modein which is also Ultra-Orthodox) Jewish City in Judah and Samaria and growing all the time.
This is the Living Bible.

1. Correspondents who wish to remain Anonymous.
Anonymous asked:
If someone writes to you with a question, if they request it is it ok for you not to publish their name on the websites? Maybe some people would prefer to be anonymous.
===============================
Brit-Am Reply:
Usually we automatically remove the email address unless asked not to.
For a potentially embarrassing query we camouflage the name.
Our preference is to remove the e-mail address and leave the name.
Nevertheless, Those who wish that their emails and/or names  BE mentioned SHOULD SAY SO EXPRESSLY.
[One may also use a pseudonym. This is quite acceptable. No-one here is requesting proof of identification.]
And vice versa,
Those who wish that their emails and/or names NOT be mentioned MUST DECLARE IT CLEARLY.
I repeat.
The default option is to usually publish the name but not the e-mail.
Those who wish something different need to mention it.

2. New Article. Sea-Sand. A Royal Palace of  Zebulon
http://www.britam.org/ZebulonPalace.html
Extract:
The palace "is built on 13,659 wooden piles... that were driven deep into the sandy soil. It is a construction technique still necessary and employed today". The ground over much of the Netherlands is in effect sea-sand. Zebulon of the Netherlands literally Dwells "on the Shores of the Sea" in more ways than one!

3. Proverbs 22:4-6 The Straight and Narrow is a Fast Track Forward
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/bible/proverbs/proverbs22.html
Proverbs 22:
4 The reward for humility and fear of the Lord
  is riches and honour and life.
Metsudat David understands the Hebrew as saying
that Fear of the LORD is a result of humility following which comes riches and honour and life.
The Hebrew does read that way.
5 Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
  the cautious will keep far from them.
The word translated here as "perverse" is akesh which may also mean crooked.
In Modern Hebrew "akesh" means stubborn but it may also connote twisted or contrary as translated here.
 Thorns and snares are obstacles. Someone who goes out of their way not to go in the straight path may encounter all kinds obstructions that otherwise could have been avoided.
6 Train children in the right way,
  and when old, they will not stray.
The word translated as "the right way" in Hebrew is "darko" literally meaning "his way".
Ideally the child should know that the training is for his sake and it should take account of his individuality.
