1. Query about links on hebrewnations.com that do not work.

Often, while I click on a link, I get the message "Page Not Found." Is this because I'm trying to read it before it's posted?
Thanks for all you do.

Shalom,
Thanks for the message.
You are referring to a problem that we have with our site,
http://hebrewnations.com
Sometimes the links do not work.
There are several possible reasons for this:
(a) In the latest postings we usually have checked all the links before sending them out.
Nevertheless it sometimes happens that the links do not work straight away and may have to be clicked on more than once.
We are not sure as to whether this is due to the .html program we are using (which is otherwise quite good) or to the server that maintains the site, hebrewnations.com
(b) Another possible cause is that, in some of the earliest articles on hebrewnations.com
 we made a mistake in defining the URLs. We are trying to fix this.
If you come across a particular link that does not work please let us know,
It is important to tell us what page you tried to make the link from and what the link was.
God bless you
Yair

2. A Call to the Chosen
http://www.britam.org/contribute.html
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations finds the Lost Ten Tribes amongst Western Peoples including those of North America and related peoples.
This information is very important.
It concerns the present-day reality and the immediate future of a great many families.
We are not saying that everyone in North America are descended from Israel but our understanding is that a good portion of them must be.
Most of those who are interested in what we have to say are of Israel origin.
This gives them both rights and obligations.
We are trying to spread the message.
We do not have any money to employ assistants, specialist advisors, or consult with experts but we have people on our list who help us.
That is one of our secrets. We function relatively well with what we have, which is not much.
People, here and there, volunteer in different ways and through that we maintain our operation.
One of the persons who helps us is an expert on marketing through the net.
In the past he has given us some advice on sundry matters.
Now he has offered to help us more.
One of the points he suggested was that we switch from "scholar mode" to "marketing mode".
We may or may not do this once we understand what is involved.
Research however will not be abandoned.
The more we know and the more certain the proofs that confirm it are, the better and more permanent will anything we say ultimately be.
We need to know more and so do those who feel connected to us.
This is what keeps us going.
It is one of the most important goals we have.
The information we have may be conclusive for those who are open to the matter BUT more is needed.
NEVERTHELESS,
We already have enough information from Scripture and from secular sources that (to a degree) confirms the Lost Ten Tribes being in the west.
The question is so vital that what is known should be made known more and brought to the attention of as many as possible.
This knowledge deserves to be spread widely.
We do what we can and to some degree succeed.
God willing if we keep going we may yet succeed more.
The Ten Tribes are amongst Western Nations.
They need to know about it.
This information is important to them.
Doing what we do requires a minimum of support.
We receive some funding through sales and offerings that people send in.
It has kept us going BUT is not sufficient.
Without funds we cannot really operate.
We believe that whosoever helps us will be rewarded from above.

Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations succeeds in unifying the causes of Judah and of Joseph.
In some ways our message is unique.
Our research findings verify the ancestry of western peoples.
Our presentations of these truths are constantly improving and are worthwhile.
We are in a crisis situation and need money to get out of it and keep going.

3. Selected Comments to Yair Davidiy YouTube clips

(1) The Scottish - a holy bloodline
Re Hebrews in Scotland

4. Proverbs 17:8-9. The Virtue of Forbearance
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/bible/proverbs/proverbs17.html
Proverbs 17:
8 A precious stone is a bribe in the eyes of its owners;
  wherever it turns it succeeds.
9 One who conceals an affront fosters friendship,
 but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.

5. Hosea: foreign children. We cannot rely on our ancestry alone
Hosea 5:
5 Israels pride testifies against him;
 And Israel and Ephraim stumble in their sin;
  Judah also stumbles with them.
6 With their flocks and herds they shall go
  to seek the Lord,
but they will not find him;
  he has withdrawn from them.
7 They have betrayed the LORD;
  for they have borne foreign children.
  Now the new moon shall devour them along with their fields.
The 'foreign children' in Hosea 5:7 were understood by the Sages (Yebamot 17) to refer to the Ten Tribes in exile having married foreign women.
We can see where Scripture indicated that the Ten Tribes would be and draw conclusions.
We cannot say that as individuals we are Israelites though we may well be.
It may also be however that we are only partly Israelite, that our ancestors intermixed with others.
The upshot is that believe in the Ten Tribes needs to be combined with faith in the God of Israel, learning the Bible, and striving to do the right thing.
We cannot rely on our ancestry alone since, among other things we do not know how sure or complete it is.
