1. Cristian Sildan: The Crusaders and the Machpela.
Subject: Re: Brit-Am Now no. 1925: Ten Tribes Studies
The Maarat Ha-Michpela (Cave of the Patriarchs)
is where the Patriarchs and Matriarchs are
buried...
Peace again.
I'm curious if there has ever been any archeological research in this cave.
I've heard a legend which said the Crusaders have dug the graves and, upon seeing the bodies intact, reburied them with honors. Is there any information about that?
Best wishes,
Cristian

Shalom Yair
An interpolated translation for Parshah (the origin of our words
partial, portion, etc?) Lech Lecha Kehot Chumash Parsha
Genesis 17:21 for I will maintain My covenant with Isaac, whom you will
conceive after your circumcision, and who will thus be holy when Sarah
will bear him to you at this time next year. Only Isaac's descendants
will be required to circumcise themselves, and just as I promised to
multiply Ishmael's descendants, I will multiply Isaac's to an even
greater degree."
According to Wikipedia there are 300 million Arabs
An even greater degree would suggest that the descendants of Isaac are
more than just 14 million Jews plus a few million (or tens of
millions) tribesmen from various third world regions (although I accept
that these too may be part of the family). Have you ever pointed that
out to people who think the Lost Tribes are just small scattered groups?
The whole parshat is very interesting and well worth reading.
3. Why Should Christians give to Brit-Am?
Make an Offering to Brit-Am
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations is against Christian groups engaging in outreach programs to Jews.
This applies even when a Ten Tribes message is preached and no explicit missionary effort is intended.
Just for the record: It is never that simple. The Christians are often not really that convinced (or convincing) concerning the Ten Tribes but they do seek to win souls for their cause.
In our opinion Christians who believe in the Ten Tribes should concentrate their energies in spreading the message to other Christians.
[OR they should support Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations in spreading the message to both Judah and Joseph.]
This sounds like a Put-Down and it is.
We apologize if we offend anybody.
We too have suffered from Put-Downs and know what if feels like.
We send out messages like the above quite often.
We then turn around and ask our subscribers for money to help us function.
Most of our subscribers are Christians.
Some of them however are Jews and others. We also raise, or try to raise, funds from family, friends, fellow-Jews, fellow-Israelites, and other associates.
Sometimes we are successful and sometimes not.
Sometimes we run out of money and all the sources appear to close up on us.
This is one of those times.
Recently we sent out a number of Appeals and the response was low though all those who sent something helped greatly.
Everything helps, is appreciated, and will surely be rewarded.
Shortly we may offer a book for pre-publication purchase and this may help but even then we will still need funding.
Why Should Christians help us?
As far as they being Christians we do not know, do not care, and are not interested.
BUT
As believers in the Bible, and as descendants of Ancient Israelites they have all the reason in the world to give us what assistance they can.
For reasons that may not be clear, Divine Providence has enabled us to understand matters concerning the Ten Tribes and to go on received understanding and insights and perception of relevant information.
This is what there is, at the moment.
It is important and very valuable. It needs you help. We need your offerings. This too is the work of the Almighty.
Send an offering to Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations by PayPal or Snail Mail.
Proverbs 3:
9 Honor the Lord with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
10 So your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
Genesis 28:
20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on, 21 so that I come back to my father's house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God. 22 And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You.'
Notice that Jacob links his return to the house of his father to the giving of tithes.
We do not have to have the answer to all our questions.
We all need to do what must be done as the need and possibility arises. Brit-Am is in need of your support.

4. Message from Subscriber who DOES contribute.
Dear Yair
Its frustrating when i give you $100 here and there only to find out most of your other subscribers are not paying a penny. I enjoy your emails and realize the labourer is worthy of his hire. Unfortunately the true depth and character of a person often boils down to there wallet. After reading that only 2 subscribers donated money in your last appeal, I was a little discouraged and once again hit with the realization at how little people value truth and knowledge and the people that give there lives for its discovery and dissemination
I have always believed in supporting Israel and i know a lot of other people do. They usually donate money towards child welfare programs to help establish new Jewish immigrants etc etc. Its a practical thing to help re-establish the land.
Your work is revolutionary and is an important message. It may not be as important as understanding GOD himself and living obediently etc etc, but if you want any hope of realising the full import of the Bible and removing ignorance then your work is as valid to a greater understanding as any other author I know of. Regards Peter.
5. Selected Messages Concerning Coming Hebron Meeting
(a) Andy: Sound Great!
Sounds great. A fitting place for an outstanding agenda. I think Hebron has a huge role to play in days to come. Is this a prophetic fulfillment???
2Samuel 5:1 "All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, 'We are your own flesh and blood.'"
I wish I could be in country for it.
Be blessed!
(b) a very good initiative
Yair, this meeting sounds like a very good initiative at this time. I
truly wish I could be there, but not possible this time. Please do post
a report of how things turn out, if you can.
May the God of Israel be with all who attend, and may eyes and hearts be
open to the truth.
Tim Murray
(c) I would attend
Shabbat Shalom Yair,
If I could travel to Israel I would attend. I would like to hear a synopsis of what is discussed and what you see the yad [hand] of [the ALMIGHTY] guiding you towards.
Shabbat shalom

(d) Need for DIVINE GUIDANCE
From: Steve Mathe
Yair,
I wish I could go, but is too expensive for me at this time for this event. ...
I know we will have similar events where more will come. It is a start. acknowledge that and submit to that Divine "operation." After all, Ephraim is "wedded" to his idols. That has been going in for millennia and is suffused into our collective psyches.
That is why I advocate seeking and praying for DIVINE GUIDANCE by ALL outfits as absolutely necessary to make our homeward journey more efficient. Without Divine Guidance we will stumble and hinder ourselves. Relying on our "baggages" is a grave mistake, for we assume that they are the truth. If I was going to speak about anything, that would be the message. If you can, maybe you can advocate that at the meeting, telling them that is what they need to tell their own groups. It is my message to the group.
I have been to Hevron, and it is quite an experience. In time will need to have regional conferences, like here in the US, where some serious effort is going out to the TT. It is in the beginning stages, but is on the right track as far as I can see. it. I expect it to improve rapidly, since the nation and the world is deteriorating rapidly. There are other signs as well, but will not go into them at this time.
May the God of Israel protect you.
Steve
(e) Might Have Come.
Dear Yair,
Thanks for continuing to send briefings.
Interesting to see you have a conference at Hebron, we wish you well. If there was more notice, some might have come from the UK.

(f) Request to be Remembered.
Could you while there, bring my name before HaShem [the ALMIGHTY] there. That as my forefathers walked before Him, may He imbue me to walk as they walked before Him. B.
