1. Query Concerning Ashkenaz, Scythians, and Isaac
From: Sjaak van Duijn
Subject: saka, scythians and ashkenaz
Â
Dear people,
Â
For 15 years I am studying the subject of the ten tribes. At the moment I wonder about the connections between the names Isaac, ashkenaz and scytians. Many people say the word scythian comes from ashkenaz. The ten tribe vision is that scytian is a form of isaac. Is there also a connection between ashkenaz and scythian? There sure is a connection between europe and ashkenaz (germany = askenaz). I wonder what mr Davidi has to say. I have all his books.
Â
greetings,

===============================
Brit-Am Reply:
The Scythians had several names. One of them was Ashguza which may have been pronounceable as similar to Ashkenaz.
Ashkenaz was a son of Gomer.
The Ten Tribes amalgamated with the federation of Gomer which included the Cimmerians, Scythians, Goths, and others.
From Gomer and Magog emerged the Germanic peoples.
Ashkenaz is the traditional name applied to Germany.
Ashkenazic Jews are so called because many of them had come from German, adopted German Jew customs, and spoke Yiddish which was basically a Germanic tongue.
Some Names applied to the Scythians such as Iskgolu, Iskuza, Zohak, Shahak, etc, strongly suggest being influenced by the name Isaac.
The Ten Tribes are referred to as House of Isaac.
cf.
Amos 7:9
The high places of Isaac will be desolated And the sanctuaries of Israel laid waste. Then I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
Amos 7:16
Now hear the word of the Lord: you are saying, You shall not prophesy against Israel nor shall you speak against the house of Isaac.
In Hebrew the name Isaac is here spelled as YiSHchak instead of Yitschak.
This has linguistic significance in making a permutation to Saka or Shaka i.e. Scythian more feasible.

ps. On another issue.
A Proposal for the Origins of Yiddish
Jewish works say that in the past most townships in Poland etc were founded and settled by Germans.
Slavic Gentiles who wished to settled in them would have to learn German. In effect they became what would later be considered "Ethnic Germans".
Jews who settled in these places would also need to use the German tongue. They would however remain Jews and congregate together out of choice or coercion.
Over time the German they spoke was adapted to their own needs i.e. Yiddish.

3. The Jewish Corner.
Rabbi Yosef Kanievsky: Time for Jews to Come Home! Urgently?
Rabbi Shmaryahu Yosef Chaim Kanievsky (aged 77) is probably considered the leading Halachic authority amongst most Orthodox Jews today.
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaim_Kanievsky
His authority is especially respected amongst the mainstream Ultra-Orthodox but most of the others (Hasidim, etc) also revere him to some degree.
[I once tried (so far without success) to learn part of a work on Astronomy and mathematics that he wrote. Like many great Rabbis he has an intellect to be held in awe.
This is more than a holy man. This is a MIND!]
Rabbi Yosef Kanievsky has been reportedly urging all Jews to return to Israel ASAP.
He is reported to have placed emphasis on this and to consider it a matter of urgency.

ON THE OTHER HAND,
We follow the warning and exhortation of Maimonides and are most conservative concerning concrete prophecies.
