1. New YouTube Clip. The Khazars. Tribe 13
Duration ca. minutes
The Khazars were a mixture of Jews and Israelites from the Ten Tribes. They were related to Western Peoples who are also descended from the Ten Tribes. The Ruling House of the Khazars was a branch of the House of Jesse, i.e. of David. Many of the Khazars converted to Judaism. Some of their descendants may be found amongst the Jewish People.

2. Where Were You?

I was in Israel twice the last few years, where were you hiding?
even if you are a scam, I will not be able to stop myself, this is my belief and Judah is not alone
tell me who you are.
in the small town I live in there is a sprinkling of us that know who we are. it is foolishness to some but pricks the conscience of many.

Brit-Am Reply:
We are here in Jerusalem. We have been working on this subject since 1984 or in some ways much earlier.
See: Â The History of Brit-Am
We have an organization, Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations. For the last decade or so we have been located near the center of town. We may have to move soon, or we may not.
Whatever the case we are here in Israel. In some circles we are quite well known. We have been active on the Web for several decades.
We are actually fighting and struggling continuously to get the message out.
There is however much opposition to it as well as a simple lack of openness towards us.
Jews are often prepared to listen but do not know how to cope with or categorize the information. The Jewish attitude is that even if what we say is correct no-one knows what should be done about it.
The Jewish attitude however is the least of our problems.
A lost of Christian Gentiles (from Lost Israelite Nations) are also against us.
We are not against Christianity but neither do we support it.
We also do not encourage Ephraimites (i.e. Christians who believe they are descended from Israel) to settle in the State of Israel at this stage.
Consequently many Christians do not want anything to do with us. Ephraimite groups seem to have black-balled Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations because we will not toe the line with them. This is despite the fact that very often their rank and file were very pleased to hear of, and from, us.
We offer straightforward Biblical and Secular evidence concerning the Israelite Descent of many peoples in the West.
For some reason many Gentile Leaders cannot take this. It is too strong for them.
Talk, talk, but when it gets to the point they get cold feet.
They prefer an inner emotional feeling than dealing with the facts and the Scripture such as we do.
God bless you

3. Reply to Query on References in "Ephraim: The Gentile Children of Israel"

Shalom Yair
Â
I'm reading with interest your book Ephraim: The Gentile Children of Israel, although I must admit I'm having difficulty finding the references you mention in many places.
Â
On p,. 151 you quote a pasuk from Yirmeyahu 46:26. However, it appears that the reference is incorrect, for the pasuk [verse] you quote is not there.
Then, you refer to a Midrash Tanchuma on Vayetze, which mentions the first part of the pasuk from 30:10, but IÂ can't see any reference to Gaul or Spain.
Â
Then, you also say the reference to Gaul and Spain is in Leviticus Rabbah 29:1;2. What kind of a reference is that? What is the parashah and on what verse?
Â
Thank you in advance for clarifying these references.

Brit-Am Reply:
It is a good thing you have this book. Hang on to it. It is now out of print. Even if it is eventually re-printed it will probably be re-edited so that what you have may well become a collector's item.
This is the passage you were referring to (p.151):
Jeremiah says:
                      "BUT FEAR NOT, MY SERVANT, JACOB, AND BE NOT
DISMAYED ISRAEL: FOR BEHOLD I WILL SAVE YOU FROM AFAR OFF, AND YOUR SEED FROM THE LAND OF THEIR CAPTIVITY" (Jeremiah 46;26).
The above verse was understood by the Sages (Midrash Tanchuma, Genesis VaYaytse; Leviticus Rabah 29;1;2) to refer to the exiles "From Galia [i.e. Gaul] and its companions, and from Spain and its companions": The Celts via Gaul and Spain moved into Britain and Ireland.
               Great Rabbinical Commentators such as Rashi and Nachmanides believed that the Lost Ten Tribes were in Zarapheth (i.e. Gaul) and the ends of the far north and were destined to wage war against Edom probably meaning a re-constituted Holy Roman Empire of Central Europe.
Re the verse Yirmeyahu 46:26Â which you said is not there. It is 46:27 in the English Translation. Â I would advise anyone who cannot find a verse quoted by us to look at the verse in their Bible above or below what we quote.
Here is the passage.
Jeremiah 46:
27 'But do not fear, O My servant Jacob,
And do not be dismayed, O Israel!
For behold, I will save you from afar,
And your offspring from the land of their captivity;
Jacob shall return, have rest and be at ease;
No one shall make him afraid.
Your next query referred to Jeremiah 30:10 which repeats 46:27.
Jeremiah 30:
10 'Therefore do not fear, O My servant Jacob,' says the Lord,
'Nor be dismayed, O Israel;
For behold, I will save you from afar,
And your seed from the land of their captivity.
Jacob shall return, have rest and be quiet,
And no one shall make him afraid.
Midrash Tanchuma, YaYatsei, 2 says;
# 'Nor be dismayed, O Israel; For behold, I will save you from afar, And your seed from the land of their captivity.' From Galia, from Spain, and from their companions [i.e. neighbors].#
Midrash Raba, Leviticus [i.e. VaYikra] Omer, 29, 1;2 says the same.
Also:
Ephraim (2001) p.86 with corrected sources.
THE MIDRASH CONCERNINGÂ THE THREE EXILES
       Proof that the gist of the above chapter (ISAIAH 49) really is concerned with the Lost Ten Tribes or not, is obtainable from the Midrashic explanation of the following verse (ISAIAH 49; 9):
     Â
           "THAT THOU MAYEST SAY TO THE PRISONERS, GO FORTH; TO THEM THAT ARE IN DARKNESS, SHEW YOURSELVES. THEY SHALL FEED IN THE WAYS, AND THEIR PASTURES SHALL BE IN ALL HIGH PLACES" (ISAIAH 49;9).
           The Midrash (Numbers Rabah 16;25, Eichah Rabah 2;9, ) on these verses, comments:
Â
           ~Rabbi Berachiah and Rabbi Chelbo in the name of Rabbi Shmuel bar Nachman said: To three places was Israel exiled, one to beyond the Sambation River, one to Daphneh of Antiochia, and one to where the Clouds came down and covered them; in the same way that they [i.e. the northern Israelites west of the Jordan River] were exiled to three places, so too were the Tribes [east of the Jordan River] of Reuben, Gad, and half Menasseh, exiled to three places. When they shall return so too will Reuben, Gad, and half Menasseh return with them. How do we know all this?
           ~` From the verse, "SAY TO THE PRISONERS GO FORTH" (ISAIAH 49;9):
      These are those exiled beyond the Sambation River.
Â
           "TO THEM THAT ARE IN DARKNESS, SHEW YOURSELVES" (ISAIAH 49;9):
   These are those whom the cloud descended upon and covered.
Â
           "THEY SHALL FEED IN THE WAYS, AND IN ALL HIGH PLACES THEIR PASTURES" (ISAIAH 49;9):
For the Ten Tribes being exiled beyond the Sambation see Genesis Rabah (VaYaTsai) 73:6
also Yalkut Shimeoni, Song of Solomon 905.
Other sources also exist for all the above.
The main point is that these Midrashim affirm our understanding that Isaiah 49 is referring to the Lost Ten Tribes.

4. Answer to Query on Christian Identity, "polluting it with their own excrement"

Christian Identity

Christian Identity is a religious ideology popular in extreme right wing circles.... Many of its adherents believe that y consider Jews to be the Satanic offspring of Eve and the Serpent, while non whites are mud peoples created before Adam and Eve. Its virulent racist and anti-Semitic beliefs are usua...

Hebrew Nations Reply:
That is what Christian Identity is BUT most believers in Israelite Ancestry are not like that. Christian Identity are themselves agents of Satan trying to derail
acceptance of the truth by polluting it with their own excrement.

5. Important Message Posted to Hebrew Nations Facebook Page
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations finds the Ten Tribes amongst Western Nations. The USA today contains within its borders a good portion of the Ten Tribes..Â
This message of Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations concerning the Ten Tribes is a wake-up call and involves a return to Biblical Consciousness. The USA NEEDS to know what we have to say!
The Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations Movement is not merely another facet of the Two House Doctrine. In fact this doctrine is not necessarily compatible with our message and is definitely SUBSIDIARY to it!
The Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations Movement says the Ten Tribes are amongst Western Peoples and PROVES IT!
The Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations Movement proves its cases using the Hebrew Bible, Rabbinical Sources, Archaeology, History, and every discipline that may have something to say on the subject.
Others may have a similar message. We have proof.
