#1. Recent Answers by Yair Davidiy to Quora Questions to be Viewed on the Quora Site.
Are there Jews/Israelis today who claim connection to any of the so-called Ten Lost Tribes?

Todah rabah [Thanks very much] for this great study. Of particular interest to me was the Quora discussion about whether there were Jews mixed in with the 10 Northern Tribes. Two things stand out and I want to thank Yair for clarifying this for people: the first is that Ethiopian Jews were attributed to the Tribe of Dan by OUTSIDERS. Since I believe that I am descended from Dan, I totally agree. The people in Israel who made this claim are the same ones basically who said the Bnai Yisrael from Burma are Jews. The second and this is such vital point to make is that the Khazars claimed descent from Simeon and Manasseh. We hear these libels from antisemites and Arabs that all Ashkenazi Jews are Khazars which is a lie and patently false. It takes someone like Yair to clarify these things.

3. Query about the Book, "When Scotland was Jewish"
S. asked:
Do you have the book "When Scotland was Jewish"
What do you think of it?
===================
Brit-Am Reply:
Yes. I have the book somewhere in my storage. It does not really say much however.
See:

Quote:
There were periodic persecutions of the Jews and large numbers were induced or forced to accept Christianity.
The possibility that some of the Jews who had been forced to become Christians fled to Scotland is discussed in the work,
"When Scotland Was Jewish" by Elizabeth Caldwell Hirschman and Donald N. Yates
The authors discuss the Judaic origins of the Royal House of Stewart, and the possible role of secret Jewish religious practices in the formation of Presbyterianism, etc. They also claim that Scottish families who were once Jewish were important in American History. A close examination of what they say however, as further clarified by them in Internet discussions, shows that the "Jews" they are speaking of were (in their opinion, based on DNA studies) were originally Gentiles (from Spain) who had converted to Judaism.
Personally I found the book disappointing and not convincing but they might have something.

5. Sundry Pros and Cons
(a) Conversion to Judaism
Recently a convert to Judaism exhorted us quite strongly to encourage Conversion as part of the Brit-Am Message.
We cannot do this. It is not part of the Brit-Am message. It is not part of our Mandate.to spread awareness of Israelite Ancestry.
As Jews we are commanded to accept and love converts to Judaism but this does not mean we should be involved with it.
Individuals who wish to convert are welcome to do so.
Nevertheless, the attitude of Brit-Am from the beginning is that in general any such change should emanate from a collective awareness that such is required.
It is however noted that many of the most genuine converts whose conversion remains are from peoples we identify as belonging to the Lost Ten Tribes.
(b) Three Rs
Brit-Am has its message,
The Three Rs of Brit-Am/Hebrew Israelites are:
a. Research: Proving where descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes are today.
b. Revelation: Revealing Research findings to others especially to those who are identifiable as "Lost Israelites" and to the Jews of "Judah".
c. Reconciliation: Working for the Recognition that the Lost Tribes and Judah have a mutual destiny and common origin and interest and therefore need to accept Israelite identification and the unique role of each other.
(c) Red-Lines.
Brit-Am has principles about which there can be no compromise:
We cannot allow others to use us in any way to compromise Judaism.
We cannot tolerate anti-Jewish doctrines or attitudes.

Genesis (NLT) 28:
20 Then Jacob made this vow: 'If God will indeed be with me and protect me on this journey, and if he will provide me with food and clothing, 21 and if I return safely to my father's home, then the LORD will certainly be my God. 22 And this memorial pillar I have set up will become a place for worshiping God, and I will present to God a tenth of everything he gives me.'
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.
Proverbs 3:
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth
and with the first of all your produce,
10 so your barns will be filled with abundance,
and your vats will burst open with new wine.
