Proverbs 3:
9 Honor the LORD from your wealth
And from the first of all your produce;
10 So your barns will be filled with plenty
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
A Word Worth Repeating. Help Brit-Am
Adapted from:
Message from Brit-Am, Movement of the Ten Tribes.

A Question of Priorities?
Let us stop letting others overduly determine our policies and order of learning and teaching.
The business of Brit-Am is primarily to learn the Bible and to prove where the descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel now are.
Whether Jewish or non-Jewish, nearly all of us are in favor of the State of Israel, sympathetic to the Jewish People, and patriotically loyal to our own nations. We also believe in the Bible and are interested in the Biblical Message.
Very few of the non-Jews here really want to change the Jewish People. If anything they mostly think the Jews should be more fervent adherents to Judaism.
Those who are Christians might sometimes think that it would be nice if the Jews knew more about them but nearly all are agreed that this is not a priority.
Yair Davidiy (representing Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations, Movement of the Ten Tribes) does not want to convert his Christian subscribers and sympathizers to Judaism.
Even if he did, he could not since the Jewish Establishment is not interested. Right or wrong, this is one reality that we live with.
Others might imagine all kinds of other things but this is not what we are about.
We are about knowledge, spreading knowledge, fraternal friendship, recognition and linkage.
Â
We want to know where the Lost Tribes are. We want to prove it and confirm it.
We think others should also know it. We will do what we can to let them know.
Very many would really like to know.
Once they do know it, let them deal with it.
We would also like to deepen our appreciation of the Bible in general.
This is what, God willing, we will do.
All of the above may not be everything we should do but it is part of it.
You go to your dentist for one thing and to your doctor for another.
Such is life.
We have something to give in this field, help us to do this.
We are doing what can be done and having an effect.
We need funds to continue in this.
Malachi 3:
10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this, Â says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.
Malachi 4:
4 Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel.
5 Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD.
6 He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse.

2. New Article. THEYÂ CALL EVIL GOOD. Isaiah chapter 5
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/bible/isaiah/is5.html
Extracts:
God wants the good and righteous living of both sections of his people.
The parable however applies even more so to The House of Israel (The Ten Tribes) who spill blood and lack justice (5:7). Judah was supposed to bring forth good fruit through association with the House of Israel but both sides failed (5:7).
.... A lot of people want to do good and would be only too happy to fix their lives up. They do not know how. We are all lost without leaders and unable to lead. The Bible may not always be a complete solution in itself but it does help point the way.

3. Brit-Am Research Leads Today
Out of all the different groups and individuals today who believe the Lost Ten Tribes to be among western peoples
there are those who rely:
(1) solely on emotional (or spiritual) awareness; and
(2) those who rely on Proof from the Bible, from secular evidence, and from rabbinical sources.
Concerning no.1 none of them of them are really saying that the Ten Tribes are mainly among western peoples but rather that they are ALSO in those areas.
These have tended to take over the present-day "identity" (or "Ephraimite") movement and lead it to places it perhaps should not have gone to.
Group no.2 may be roughly subdivided along the following lines:
(a) Those who in some cases use evidence of British Israel type dating back about 200 years. This is valid to a degree but often includes opinions and prejudices that are mistaken.
(b) They who emphasize mostly Biblical evidence. Here too the sources adduced also date way back but they have usually been updated with new insights. Most new insights, where valid, are based on Brit-Am findings.
(c) Secular Evidence from the present time. This is always derived, at least in part, from Brit-Am researches though in some cases more may have been added.
(d) Proofs from Rabbinical Sources are almost entirely taken from Brit-Am. This is usually (though not always) openly admitted. There may be some exceptions in limited cases.
Addenda:
Seen on a bumper sticker:
"Money ain't everything but it sure keeps the kids in touch!"
We make appeals because we believe the cause is worth it and we need the funds.
Sometimes the appeals have an effect and at other times they do not.
The appeals teach us humility and through them others identify more with us.
