2. A Linguistic Point will Joseph be Dominant over Judah, or the Opposite?
"EL" versus "AL"
This is a question we were asked at second hand. Someone had heard it, and this was their impression of it. The original version may have been different.
Does the passage in Ezekiel 37, comparing 37:17 and 37:19, indicate that after the re-unification Joseph will be dominant over Judah? [Linguistic nuance to be explained below].
==========================
Brit-Am Reply:
The Commentary of the Malbim says that Joseph at first will be politically dominant though Judah will be determinative in religion.
This is also the impression given (in the book "Kol HaTor," etc) concerning the Messiah son of Joseph who will be followed by the Messiah son of David.
This in effect makes the question SUPERFLUOUS!
Not only that, it is wrong, i.e. the grammatical points are mistaken and their significance have been confused. If anything the grammatical structure in the Hebrew would indicate that Judah will be predominant!
What does the Querior actually say?
Concerning the verse 37:17 it says one stick should be joined to the other. The word for "to" is EL with an aleph-letter.
Ezekiel 37:19 for the word "with" (" and will put them with") uses the Hebrew "ALAV" constructed from the root-word "AL" with an ayin. The word root "AL" can connote "above" as well as "with, to, about, and." In other word it can have several meanings that are determined according to the context. If one wishes to insist that only one of these meanings is the correct one despite there being more plausible alternatives then additional supportive evidence should be expected.
Another point is that AL and EL are considered to be interchangeable by the Talmudic School of Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaacov. This is discussed in the Talmud, Berachot, 32:a.
The final and most important point is given below.
First peruse the text especially verse 37:19.
Ezekiel (KJV) 37:
15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17 And join them one to [EL] another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
19 Say unto them, Thus saith the LORD God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with [ALAV] him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
21 And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD God; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
Here is the relevant verse:
Ezekiel 37:
19 Say unto them, Thus saith the LORD God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with [ALAV] him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
This is a correct translation consistent with the Hebrew:
It says to take the stick of Joseph and put it WITH the stick of Judah.
In other words the stick of JUDAH remains as it was and the stick of Joseph will be attached to it!

3. New Appeal. New Developments
Brit-Am has a Mandate to research the whereabouts of the Lost Ten Tribes and to publicize the results.
That is the most important issue before us.
We also are entitled to request funds from the public we serve as long as the need exists.
We are making attempts to upgrade and streamline the sale of our publications.
This involves several steps some of which are in process.
We also hope to start publishing new books on Brit-Am issues.
This may take time but not necessarily that long.
Meanwhile Brit-Am is badly in need of funds.
We sell books and receive contributions. This keeps us going.
Nevertheless, we need more than is coming in.
Brit-Am provides a unique service.
Brit-Am researches the fundamental issues concerning the Israelite Identity of many people in the West today, and involving them.
We often find answers or strong indications as to where the answers are.
Even if one does not agree with us on every matter Brit-Am is still part of the answer.
Please, send more offerings and order books.
This is for your benefit as well as ours.
We also believe that this endeavor has something sacred about it and that they who help us will be rewarded from Above.

Proverbs 3:
9 Honor the LORD with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
10 So your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
Malachi 3:
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,
Says the Lord of hosts,
If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
