Israel Feld and Brit-Am.
Israel Feld has passed away, Tishrei 5787, September 2026. This took place at the end of Yom Kippur a few days ago. Yisroel had suffered from different sicknesses for some time. He left behind 9 daughters and 3 sons. He also left numerous people he had helped over the years. That was what Isroel did. He helped people. He also helped Brit-Am. A couple of chapters of our work "Ephraim" were written by him. Also here and there in our other works are insights and observation he made or contributed towards.
# Israel ("Yisroel") Feld is a qualified agronome. He started a sheep farm in Susia in the southern Hebron Hills where he developed his own breed of stall-fed sheep. Yair Davidiy met Israel and moved onto the farm serving as an occasional assistant, a de facto security guard, and working in the area. Yair showed Yisroel Feld a manuscript of his work on the Ten Tribes and discussed it with him. Yisroel introduced his brother, Rabbi Avraham, to the subject who also was convinced by it. #

He lived on a sheep farm owned by Israel Feld. Israel Feld helped Yair a lot. Israel read one of our manuscripts and thus became acquainted with Brit-Am teaching concerning the Lost Ten Tribes and in turn introduced his brother, Rabbi Avraham Feld, to the subject. Another brother of the two, Rabbi David Feld, also later befriended us. #
# Rabbi Brett Oxman, a friend of Avraham and Israel Feld, lent Brit-Am the money to publish "The Tribes" in 1993.
At the funeral of Yisroel Feld there were more than 600 people. The funeral took place near Sussia in the Hills of Hebron. This is not an easy place to get to. Many of those who Yisroel knew and often helped are now successful and have families of their own. Each one of them has their own tale of appreciation to relate.

Suggested Conclusions From our work "Ephraim" Sources As Supplied (in 2001) by Israel Feld.
Historically, it may be claimed that to a significant degree the initial arousal of the Jewish people to return and re-build the Jewish State of Israel was preceded by British thinkers. This is documented in such works as "The Vision Was There" by Franz Kobler, U.K., 1956. In this case part of the emotional arousal came from Ephraim and so fits the point made by Rabbi Dessler above concerning the quality of Ephraim. After the Six Days War the Jews may have been able to begin building the Temple and establishing a State based on Biblical principles. This did not happen partly because the Tribes of Joseph (in Britain and North America, etc.) did not have a movement of their own working in that direction. They did not provide the psychological and material support for such a step. Both authorities quoted above suggest that Judah needs the participation of the Lost Ten Tribes in building the Third Temple.
Prerequisites for re-building the Temple entail support for certain policies of the Israeli State that are connected with the country's survival and welfare as well as being Biblical injunctions. An example is Israel's control of the West Bank territories of Judah and Samaria. In practice, Israel is often limited in its possibility of action due to its dependence on overseas aid, its sensitivity to world opinion, and manipulation of the media inside and outside of Israel. Elements within Israel that America desires to strengthen receive direct and indirect material and other support. The groups and individuals that are encouraged in this way are not necessarily those that have the true interests of the Jewish people at heart.
If there would be stronger outside support and identification from Bible-believers in the Western World, the Israeli public may well be enabled to further their own uniqueness and destiny and thus come closer to realizing Biblical ideals.
