Rabbinical Decision-Makers are Mainly from the Tribe of Levi!

Inherited Sanction

To re-capitulate in a somewhat over-simplified manner: There are Rabbis and Rabbis. Amongst the Rabbis there are those who know how to formulate the law when faced with new circumstances and others who ask they who know what should be done. Let us refer to they who know as "Decision-Makers". Amongst the Jewish People no more than ca. 10% are from the Tribes of Levi (i.e. Levites or Cohens) and conscious of it. Among the Rabbis the proportion from the Tribe of Levi may be much higher but it is still a minority. Among the "Decision-Makers" however more than 80% are from Levi!!!
No other reason exists to explain this phenomenon other than inherited aptitude!!!
We were told that in case of doubt we should go to the Decision-Makers, i.e.
 "to the Cohens [priests], the Levites, and the Judge that will be in those days" (Deuteronomy 17:9).
Here we have Cohens in the plural and Levites in the plural and the Judge in the singular. The minimum plural number is two i.e. 2 Cohens. So too, for the Levites who are in the plural i.e. 2 Levites. Both Cohens and Levites are from the Tribe of Levi.
The singular number is one, and we have one Judge, i.e. one from one of the other Tribes against 4 from the Tribe of Levi. Four out of five is eighty per cent and more than eighty per cent of the Rabbinical Decision-Makers both in past and past are from the Tribe of Levi!!!Â
This is proof of the Bible, proof of the Rabbinical Oral Tradition, and Proof of Israelite Tribal Traits being inherited. It is also a proof of the validity of geneaological tradition for the families of Cohens and Levis and indirectly for the whole Jewish People!

2. Please Avoid Using the Holy Name!
Â
It happens that in telephone conversations or correspondence with interested parties and supporters when expounding Scripture that the Name of God is enunciated explicitly or at least as some understand it to be sounded.
This is forbidden and offensive to us.
We have written much on this matter.
Please take heed to what we have taught on this subject:
Even if you do not agree with us understand that we wrote it because we believe in it and it is important to us and therefore consideration should be given on this point:
Please see the articles listed under the heading,
The Holy Name of God

3. Interesting Message from Quebec. Possible Ancestry from Benjamin and Simeon
Hi!
Lately, I've read some articles on your Brit-Am website. They are so interesting. A few years ago, I did the genealogy of my parents. I found that my mother's ancestor who came from France to Quebec in 1665 was a Breton from Brittany. His name was Gilles Dufault. He married a girl from Normandy whose name was Francoise Simeon. Her father's name was Pierre Simeon (Peter Simeon). So, when I read your articles about the Normans (Tribe of Benjamin) and about of Brittany ( Tribe of Simeon), I came to the understanding that maybe I am an Israelite. What I think is that Pierre Simeon himself or one of his ancestor left Brittany and went to Normandy to marry a beautiful Norman girl and settled there instead of going back to Brittany with her.
Â
In conclusion, I think and hope that I am a descendant of the Tribes of Benjamin and of Simeon. What do you think? Is my conclusion right?
Â
 I love Hashem and His people. I love and pray for Israel, for her protection. Every day, I read the news on Arutz Sheva English website. I read and study my Bible in French everyday.
Â
Am Israel chai [The People of Israel lives!]

Brit-Am Reply:
This is interesting. We pointed out in our work 'The Tribes'  how Brittany (in Northwest France) and the neighboring province of Normandy overlapped in many ways. Many Normans were actually Bretons. This is not something we discovered but a well-known phenomenon often mentioned by historians. Many native Britons driven out by the Anglo-Saxons settled in Brittany. The French historian, Markale, saw the Norman Invasion of England as a kind of revenge by descendants of British Celts (who had settled in Brittany) on behalf of their ancestors. This to his mind explained the popularity among the Normans of the legends of King Arthur. The King Arthur legends were Welsh like many of the Bretons were.
Brittany received settlers from the Tribe of Simeon which appears to be reflected in the names of your ancestors.
Concerning you suggestion of having combined Benjaminite and Simeonite ancestry our YouTube clips about Benjamin may be found interesting.
These have been well-received in the past despite initial difficulty some have with my accent.
