1. Max Rambow: Agrees with Lorraine Harvey
Re
Brit-Am Now no. 2492. Ten Tribes Studies
# 3. Lorraine Harvey: Views from Australia
Lorrain's good news was welcome, I hope you Aussies remain firm. I believe America has become the daughter of Babylon whose future is outlined in Jer. 50-51. If it is, our demise will stun the world, pretty scary stuff to say the least.
Best wishes

2. This Week's Published Findings in Perspective
We found a good source indicating that King Jeroboam changed the Sabbath day perhaps to Sunday.
We saw that according to present statistics the French, British, and US (especially the US) are really the only major world powers today who emphasize overseas bases, the gates of their enemies.
We learnt that the Finnish Name for God is the same as that employed by the Ten Tribes before their exile.
These are all matters that were known or intuited before but in each case something was added to them.
The knowledge was defined, became more reliable and authoritative.

3. New Month of Elul. Tribe of Gad
Saturday and Sunday (15th and 16th August, 2015) are the first Days of the New month of Elul.
Even in Biblical times it happened that on some occasions 2 days were kept for the New Month.
1-Samuel 20:
24 So David hid in the field; and when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food. 25 The king sat on his seat as usual, the seat by the wall; then Jonathan rose up and Abner sat down by Saul's side, but David's place was empty. 26 Nevertheless Saul did not speak anything that day, for he thought, 'It is an accident, he is not clean, surely he is not clean.' 27 It came about the next day, the second day of the new moon, that David's place was empty;...
The Month of Elul according to mainstream opinion (HaGra and Arizal) ascribe this month to the Tribe of Gad.
Other opinions say Simeon (Midrash Peliah), or Zebulon (Rabad).

4. Participation and Blessing

We are occupied with researching the whereabouts of the Ten Tribes and spreading this knowledge.
We do this from a Biblical Perspective in line with Jewish Tradition but send our message to everyone.
Most of our audience are Christians.
New people come in. Others leave.
Some people are dissatisfied.
I do not think that anyone can complain that we dissimulated.
You always knew what we believed in and stood for.
Most of you did not agree with everything we are.
But you got good information.
In some cases the knowledge was unique to us or otherwise very difficult to obtain if not for us.
We did the work and still do.
[Several ongoing projects may soon be completed.]
We also provided a forum of value for exchange of information and opinion.
For many we did not go far enough and for a few we perhaps went too far.
We understood and still understand that we have a task to spread the message of Israelite Ancestry.
We are to do this without compromising Jewish beliefs and as far as possible without offending Christian sensibilities.
We are also to tell the truth as we understand it.
This is what we do.
The message gets out.
New knowledge becomes available, old understandings are confirmed, or modified.
We have been doing this for a longer time and getting better all the while.
We have also been supported, almost solely, by our subscribers and sympathizers.
Our ongoing obligations and budgetary needs are not negligible.
They who have supported us in any way are to be thanked and congratulated.
We believe that the Almighty has blessed, and will bless them again.
The message has been getting out.
We may have changed the course of history in a more positive direction.
Help us to keep going.
Participate in this endeavor.
Benefit from Blessings and influence the fate of mankind for the better.

A load of religious propaganda, coming strait from an imperialist state where the truth is non existent. How can you make such assumptions about my culture as a welsh Celtic descendant! You clearly haven't studied this properly and are reading crap off the internet and taking it as gospel! Just like you take the word of the bible and assume it is the truth. It is a shame you were brought up into a community of delusional fools! Cymru am byth!!

6. The Weekly Portion
Reah: Obligations, Blessings, and Laws Deuteronomy
11:26-16:17.
http://www.britam.org/deuteronomy/4raeh.html
Extracts:
[Deuteronomy 11:31] FOR YE SHALL PASS OVER JORDAN TO GO IN TO POSSESS THE LAND WHICH THE LORD YOUR GOD GIVETH YOU, AND YE SHALL POSSESS IT, AND DWELL THEREIN.
When the Israelites entered the Land they had to have the intention to possess it. So too at present that should be the declared and conscious intention. The Arabs must be transferred elsewhere and Jews should take possession.
Â
[Deuteronomy 11:32] AND YE SHALL OBSERVE TO DO ALL THE STATUTES AND JUDGMENTS WHICH I SET BEFORE YOU THIS DAY.         Â
Taking the Land and confirming possession of it is dependent upon keeping the Torah.
[Deuteronomy 12:4] YE SHALL NOT DO SO UNTO THE LORD YOUR GOD.   Â
We must resist attempts by atheists and Jewish traitors who hate their own religion and seek to uproot it.
In the USA attempts to remove the Ten Commandments etc from court houses should be resisted. We need to protect all aspects of our Hebraic heritage that our ancestors consciously or subconsciously managed to incorporate into our civil affairs.Â
The Brit-Am Ten Tribes Movement can with a reasonable degree of certainty tell you who your ancestors were.
We can inform what at a communal national level your Biblical Identity is.
We can help enhance and intensify your Biblical Consciousness and Israelite Hebraic Awareness and prepare the groundwork for the same to apply across the nation.
In the Long Run this service of ours may be worth far more than anything else.
We are doing something.
We ourselves benefit from it and so can you.
Â
[Deuteronomy 12:24] THOU SHALT NOT EAT IT; THOU SHALT POUR IT UPON THE EARTH AS WATER.
Kosher meat is more healthy and aesthetically more acceptable. Kosher slaughter is more humane. Kosher slaughter requires cutting the throat in one clean sweep without previous stunning and the like. In some parts of Europe kosher slaughtering is forbidden. They claim this is because they consider kosher slaughtering to be cruel but it is not. The motivations of countries that forbid kosher slaughtering are anti-Biblical and anti-Jewish. They have pretended pity on animals but they had little pity on the Jews during the Holocaust. They would also have little pity on you.
Members of a city who worshipped idols were considered legally Gentiles i.e. non-Israelites [VILNA GA'ON (end of SHENOS ELIYAHU to Zera'im)].
Â
The Lost Ten Tribes also worshipped idols and after their exile received the temporary status of being non-Israelites (Yebamot 17) from a religious point of view. In the future however the Ten Tribes will return and be recognized once more as Israelites.
They will also be obligated in the future to Keep the Torah.
http://britam.org/malachi.html
[Malachi 4:4] REMEMBER YE THE LAW OF MOSES MY SERVANT, WHICH I COMMANDED UNTO HIM IN HOREB FOR ALL ISRAEL, WITH THE STATUTES AND JUDGMENTS.
#5. Indentured Servitude: Were Some of Our Ancestors Virtually Slaves?
Indentured Servitude. Wikipedia Extracts
#In addition to African slaves, Europeans, including Irish,[3] Scottish,[4] English, and Germans, were brought over in substantial numbers as indentured servants,[5] particularly in the British Thirteen Colonies.[6] Over half of all white immigrants to the English colonies of North America during the 17th and 18th centuries may have been indentured servants.[7]#

7. Do Jews Believe in Heaven and Hell?
Roughly speaking the Jewish concept on these issues is almost the same as that of mainstream Christianity.
Not much emphasis is placed on these matters however. The validity of this observation (about emphasizing Heaven and Hell, etc) however varies from one Rabbi to another.
Reward and Punishment is an Article of Faith but exactly what form these will take is open to consideration.
Matters that are stressed are How to Keep the Commandments, practical day to day issues, Exegesis on the Bible, etc.
Doing the will of the Almighty and getting close to HIM are considered aims in their own right.
