2. Mar Richmond: The Term "Hebrew" Sounds More Acceptable!

#3. Does the English Word "Jew" Actually Derive from a word meaning "Hebrew" (and not Judah?)
Greeting Yair;
I realize the 'Jew' appears in the churches N.T., but I have also had the impression that many people used the term Hebrew in preference. My mother and others of my early recollections spoke of Hebrews. I was aware that haters spoke of 'Jews', but that was not widely accepted.
Several years ago our local paper had a list of stories from 80- 100 years ago and the article that caught my eye was that a group of Hebrews were coming to the county to establish a homestead settlement.
Most of the towns that were settled at that time became ghost towns and only remain as mention in history books. I have not run across any further mention.

3. New Month of Iyar. Tribe of Issachar
April 26, and April 27 were the New Month days of the Hebrew month of Iyar, year 5777).
Major opinions (HaGra and Ha-Arizal) attribute this month to the Tribe of Issachar.
Others say Reuben (Midrash Peliah) or Simeon (Rabad).
It is worth noting that we are now preparing an article on the Prophet Elisha, successor to Elijah, and he too came from Issachar.
Below are a few excerpts concerning the month of Iyar and/or the Tribe of Issachar.
http://www.aish.com/jl/hol/hm/48971256.html
The mazal/sign of Iyar is Taurus, an ox eating grass. This is a symbol of an animal of great strength (in fact the ox is the strongest of the domesticated animals) eating, growing and progressing.

Isaachar is the scholarly tribe of Israel. The Sanhedren was mostly composed from the tribe of Isaachar. In particular, Isaachar was the master of the 'secret' of the Jewish calender, as is said of him: 'knowers of understanding the times.' His basic nature is contemplative and he serves as the 'advisor' to his brethren, the tribes of Israel (in particular to the king, Judah).
http://www.tzfat-kabbalah.org/whatis.asp?p=512
... the inauguration of the Temple in the time of King Solomon took place in the month of Iyar: the inner essence of Iyar, which symbolizes the connection between spiritual and physical is best suited to construction of the Temple, which is a physical structure that contains divine spiritual radiance.
http://www.britam.org/tribes/IssacharTC.html
The Children of Issachar traditionally had the task of determing the Hebrew Calendar which involved astronomical calculations while taking account of agricultural seasons and community convenience: There were certain days when celebrating a feast day would have disrupted the public so these days had to be avoided yet chronological and solar-seasonal consistency maintained. He was symbolized by a donkey. He was born when his mother, Leah, "hired" her husband from Rachel for the night. The name Issachar is derived from the root "sachar" meaning "hiring" and this embodies aspects of the Characteristics of Issachar.

Wartime miracles and a national scandal
http://www.internetpulpit.co.uk/2016/10/wartime-miracles-and-national-scandal.html
Extracts:
Recently I came across an article written by no less a person than the actual head of the British and American Planning Staff, the body responsible for planning D-Day and the liberation of Europe. He was in the unique position of knowing fully what was happening on the war front. His name was Lt General Sir Frederick Morgan and he wrote this article two years after the end of the war, as he looked back on events. These are his words;
'Miracles still happen. How many of them have we not seen enacted before our eyes in these past few years? There was Dunkirk and its flat calm sea. Who planned that? We saw no way out barring a miracle. Then came the miracle. Two years later, the British and American military convoy was sailing in order to land in North Africa. All the enemy submarines were on the lookout. A breath-taking moment came when a U-boat caught sight of the tall ship of one convoy. The rest of the convoy was obscured by a squall that appeared to be travelling along with our ships providing cover. The result was that the Nazi observer thought that what he saw was merely worthy of routine report. Then just as General Patton was due to land on the Casablanca beaches, open to the full Atlantic swell, at the very moment it seemed inevitable that the whole affair must be called off, the wind changed from on-shore to off-shore and let the small craft land successfully. There was surely more than human planning here too. Then there was the miracle of D-Day in 1944 with a last minute change in the weather. The history of other theatres of war tell of many similar happenings.'
When you read the reflections of those who were in authority, individuals who had direct knowledge as to what really happened behind the scenes during the War, they all describe the same thing. An over whelming sense of Divine Intervention at critical moments.
Wartime Prime Minister, Winston Churchill is another example. He like Morgan knew everything that was going on. Towards the end of 1942 as the tide turned in the War he wrote, 'I sometimes have a feeling of interference. I want to stress that. I have a feeling sometimes that some Guiding Hand has interfered. I have a feeling that we have a Guardian because we have a great Cause and we shall have that Guardian so long as we serve that Cause faithfully.'
Then there is the testimony of Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding. He was the actual Commander-in-Chief of Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain. He knew all too well what was really going on and how desperate things were. After the Battle was over he wrote, 'I pay homage to those gallant boys who gave their all so that our nation might live...but I say with absolute conviction, that I can trace the intervention of God, not only in the Battle itself, but in the events leading up to it. At the end of the Battle one had the feeling that there had been some special Divine Intervention to alter some sequence of events which would otherwise have occurred.'
And then there is the testimony of General Eisenhower. Eisenhower was none other than the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces responsible for D Day and the ultimate liberation of Europe. Like the others I have quoted, he too held a unique position where he knew everything that was going on. In June 1952 as he reflected on the events of D Day he stated 'This day eight years ago, I made the most agonising decision of my life. I had to decide to postpone by at least 24 hours the most formidable array of fighting ships and of fighting men that was ever launched across the sea against a hostile shore. The consequences of that decision at that moment could not have been foreseen by anyone. If there were nothing else in my life to prove the existence of an Almighty and merciful God, the events of the next 24 hours did it.The greatest break in a terrible outlay of weather occurred the next day and allowed that great invasion to proceed, with losses far below those we had anticipated.'

5. Sylvia Halpert: British and Norse Paganism and the Megalithic Monuments
Shalom Yair,
Recently I have been reading about an interest in British and Norse paganism and the megalithic monuments Jeremiah mentioned.
It is worrisome to think of people seeking for pagan gods and heathen beliefs like those we had in the ancient Northern Kingdom, but at the same time could it be an indication that, people from the Ten Tribes are unwittingly looking to the waymarks and high heaps, and setting their hearts, "toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest".
Maybe they will eventually see that we are Hebrews and that these gods are the same vile beings that got us exiled!
Do you think this is part of the "returning" by the path of our exile?
Thank you and God bless you,
Sylvia
Jeremiah 31:21
Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
