1. Did the Tribe of Benjamin found Rome?
Steve Phillips asked:
Shalom Yair.
You wrote: A LEGEND SAYS THAT PART OF BENJAMIN HELPED FOUND THE CITY OF ROME.
I would be very interested to learn where that legend comes from. Think about it. The tribal symbol for Benjamin is a wolf. The wolf who 'suckled' Romulus and Remus is the tribe of Benjamin. Remember what I told you about allegory? For Romulus read rho-Menashe. For Remus, who was also known as Roma, Romus, Romis and Romanus, read Reuben. Note that the Welsh name for a Roman is Rhufeinig - pronounced Reuvenic. The Remi who settled in south central France are descended from these Reubenites who helped found Rome. These tribes were ousted from Italy during the Roman Celtic wars. The Latini and Sabini who took control are descended from Dukes Lotan and Tsibeon.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards,
Steve Phillips

Brit-Am Reply:
This answer is in two parts:
(a) Sources concerning Benjamin.
Rabbi Nathan Nata Spira (Poland, 1585 - 1633) mentioned members of the Tribe of Benjamin founding Rome in his Commentary (known as "Megaleh Amukot") to the Book of Judges.
cf.
Judges (NKJV) 20:47 But six hundred men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and they stayed at the rock of Rimmon for four months.
Others said something similar.
The NATZIV quotes a tradition that many from the Tribe of Benjamin at an early date fled to Rumania, i.e. not Rome, but the Land of Rumania in the Balkans.
Louis Ginzberg, (Legends of the Jews) says that the Benjaminites fled to Germany.
(b) Rome Founded by Edom.
Our understanding from the sources is that the City of Rome was founded by a combination of different peoples among whom Edomites, possibly led by Zepho, were prominent.
Either way the city of Rome became a foremost Edomite power.
There may, or may not, have been Hebrews among them, but Esau aka Edom was paramount.

re
Noachide or Israelite?

Sylvia Halpert
It is a sad thing then a person who wants to obey the commands of God is discouraged from doing so! It is difficult for returning Ten Tribers during this transition, and their only solution is to learn the history of Ephraim and who they are. Then they can draw close to God themselves and develop that relationship. He can help them have community and satisfy them until such a time as Ephraim ceases envying Judah, and Judah ceases vexing Ephraim Israelites. Isaiah 11:13

Why Does Ten Tribes Descent Matter?

@lazlotokoz7571
Mr. Davidiy. Thank you... I identify myself as a tribe of Israel. I have told dozens, even hundreds of people about this. Can you tell me what I can do. Do I wait at home or take a bag and travel to Israel? It's not easy being there and trying to survive. Are there any contacts? Is there anyone there to help us returnees?

As a 6 or 7th generation American it is my duty to preserve the genealogy and figure out who we are and where we come from. I have traced my lineage back to Penzance Cornwall, Noah Davey 1750. That is as far as i can go. They came to California in 1850 as miners. Much love and blessings brother

3. Remark to "New Biblical Finding."
From Yaaqova Batyah
Shalom,Yair, what an awesome breakthrough for your research! I have never heard of the Targum Yehonatan but what an important source for more understanding, especially if you can read Aramaic. I recently received the Hebrew Tribes and 4 Hosea books that I ordered and very much look forward to reading them. Thank you for sharing this exciting new discovery with us. Blessings, shalom

4. New Biblical Finding.
Brit-Am/Hebrew Awareness leads the way!
Important New Biblical Finding.
http://www.britam.org/contribute-Brit-Am.html
http://hebrewnations.com/contributions/offerings.html
Brit-Am / Hebrew Awareness spreads knowledge concerning the whereabouts of the Lost Ten Tribes. We also research it. Our researches are assisted by others (e.g. "TubalCain" in Ireland, Mark Williams, etc.) who send us valuable information and insights. We also do much of our own investigation through our own efforts and Divine Providence. The Almighty helps us BUT your participation is also required!
Our successes in Research are modest ones but they exist. God is with us.
Brit-Am relies on contributions to continue to function.
In our recent article we wrote:
==========
Why You Should Know!
Are you descended from Israel. Should you care one way or other?
https://hebrewnations.com/about-us/why.html
#9. Western Europe and North America will become part of the Land of Israel! New Revelations!
https://hebrewnations.com/about-us/why.html#a9
# The Aramaic Targum Yehonatan (ca. 100-700 CE) says that the border of Israel includes all the Mediterranean and the Atlantic ("Okeanus") and everything in it up to the land bordering on it AND INCLUDING IT and beyond it as indicated by some of the Rabbinical Commentary. In other words this could mean the whole of North America. ...
# This may sound far-fetched which may be why this option was not considered by others heretofore. It fits the descriptions given and also makes sense when we realize that the areas concerned are those of the LTTs.
==========
To give you an idea as to what is involved.
Targum Yehonatan literally means "the Translation of Yehonatan."
It is referred to Wikipedia as "Pseudo-Yehonatan" see:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targum_Pseudo-Jonathan
# This targum (i.e. Translation into Aramaic) is more than a mere translation. It includes much aggadic (mythological) material collected from various sources as late as the Midrash Rabbah as well as earlier material from the Talmud. So it is a combination of a commentary and a translation. #
It is also important.
It is included in every edition of "Mikraot Gedolot" ("Great Writings," ) which is a compendium of commentators to the Bible.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikraot_Gedolot
Every Rabbinical Study room such as those attached to nearly every single synagogue among the Hariedim and many of those in the other sectors in the Land of Israel has a copy of this work.
It now includes a commentary "Pirush Yehonatan": explaining difficult words.
Targum Yehonatan could date anywhere from 100 CE to ca. 700 CE. Nevertheless, it is considered with greatest reverence.
The Aramaic in the light of related findings and its attached Commentary seems to be saying that the Western border of the Land of Israel stretches across the Atlantic and includes all of the North American Continent!
Other sources say that the Western Border includes the British isles and the West European coast!
This is a confirmation of Brit-Am researches.
It came to us after a combination of coincidences and "chance" events.
An article in preparation should go into all these matters in detail.
Our endeavors are on behalf of the Jewish People and for the sake of the Lost Ten Tribes.
They who understand the potential importance of our endeavors are asked to help us if they can.
Our efforts need funding.
We believe our work to have Divine Sanction and that they who help us will themselves be blessed from Above.
Divine Providence wants it this way, that we should have to ask our readership to lend a hand.

5. TubalCain: Psalm 14. Salvation from Judah?
re

@tubalcain1039
Psalm 14:7 says that the salvation of Israel will come out of Zion. Zion is the code word for the House of Judah,while Jezreel is the code word for the House of Israel.
Psalm (NKJV) 14
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 THE FOOL HAS SAID IN HIS HEART,
'THERE IS NO GOD.'
THEY ARE CORRUPT,
THEY HAVE DONE ABOMINABLE WORKS,
THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD.
2 THE LORD LOOKS DOWN FROM HEAVEN UPON THE CHILDREN OF MEN,
TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY WHO UNDERSTAND, WHO SEEK GOD.
3 THEY HAVE ALL TURNED ASIDE,
THEY HAVE TOGETHER BECOME CORRUPT;
THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD,
NO, NOT ONE.
4 HAVE ALL THE WORKERS OF INIQUITY NO KNOWLEDGE,
WHO EAT UP MY PEOPLE AS THEY EAT BREAD,
AND DO NOT CALL ON THE LORD?
5 THERE THEY ARE IN GREAT FEAR,
FOR GOD IS WITH THE GENERATION OF THE RIGHTEOUS.
6 YOU SHAME THE COUNSEL OF THE POOR,
BUT THE LORD IS HIS REFUGE.
7 OH, THAT THE SALVATION OF ISRAEL WOULD COME OUT OF ZION!
WHEN THE LORD BRINGS BACK THE CAPTIVITY OF HIS PEOPLE,
LET JACOB REJOICE AND ISRAEL BE GLAD.
