1. Znobyrd: Comment on Billions of Israelites
Would be great to have a time machine and see it all across the centuries.

2. B. Letter from Ohio, USA.
I bought your book The Tribes and have read it. I do believe that I am one of the lost tribes. I have done my ancestry back to England and a few other countries, all in the area you say are where they were. Well I am still trying to figure out what this all means. God has a plan and I am just waiting to see it come. I speak to people about this, just today I went to my doctor and took the book with me and he was curious about it so we talked about it for a little bit. He goes to the same church as I do. I am a Christian and live in the state of Ohio in America.
Since I was a little child I could not understand why there had been so much hatred of Jews. I thought will they worship the same God we do only in a different way. Now both religions can show in the Bible why they believe what they do. Me myself and I believe that anything man says do not trust, but if it is in the Bible that you believe. I guess what I am saying is that well where do we go from here? .... I am taking one thing at a time. I want a brotherly relationship with the Jews because I have always felt it my whole life and now I understand why.
I plan on ordering the book Joseph and a few others but at this time I am very poor, see not all Americans have money, I live on less than poverty level and have a job and work. I do not live off the state or any welfare program.
I feel that by talking to others about this is important to spread the word. We need to back our Jewish brothers in any and all things, blood is thicker that water. Oh and I am not wanting to move to Israel, I would love to visit the Holy Lands, but just a visit. ...I would love to stand on the ground that the temple was on because I just know that you could feel it.
Barbara
God Bless

Brit-Am Reply:
Send your address and we will send the book.
The postage is not that expensive. The books exist to spread the message but we take money because we need to do so. Exceptions however exist.
God bless you Yair

3. Appeal Poems
====
(a) Poem: The Brit-Am Offering
Extracts:
Inspiration from above.
Brit-Am teaches Bible
Truth, life, and love
Brit-Am is without a rival.
Biblical and General Learning
For which you are yearning.
Brit-Am gives the Truth
Of who your fathers were before
Brit-Am Now provides the proof.
That your ancestors of yore
From Israelites came
Long before they bore the name
They now bear.
Meaning that you too
of your ancestry should care
Since a Hebrew true
is what it may make of you.
All this and more
What there is in store
Our Brit-Am Findings
Give you lessons and tidings
Help Brit-Am
If you can.
Brit-Am is in need
There are mouths to feed
Bills to pay
Expenses day by day
We have rent to meet
to stay on our feet
Pay the phone
All on our own
Maintain outreach
Hebrews to teach
For your own good
Help as you should
Let yourselves be blest
Put it to the test
We are here for you
To yourselves be true.
====
(b). Brit-Am Renewed Appeal.
This is a new Brit-Am Appeal
Brit-Am is in need of money
For bread, butter, and honey.
Rent to pay, wounds to heal
Hebrew ancestry to reveal.
Offering life, strength and hope
Print New edition of "The Tribes"
Which to countries ascribes,
Israelite forefathers subscribes.
Payment for us with life to cope
Enabling to expand our scope.
Brit-Am studies, does Research
Paths in which your fathers went
In the west to make their perch:
Proofs of your Hebraic descent.
Do not leave us in the Lurch.
With our Knowledge we Reveal
What your soul does truly feel.
For our supper we shall sing
Revelation does Brit-Am bring.
Jews and Joes to Reconcile
To be made one in little while.
Hebrew souls in guise Gentile
To Israel Come you back
Get yourselves on the track.
Brit-Am wishes to serve you well
Prove yourselves, send some change
Do not think us weird or strange.
Need of funds, print Books to sell
So that we, your truth may tell.
Everything you give will return to you
In form of Manifold Blessings true.
You shall rejoice through and through.

4. Hebrew Nations Appeal: Merits Running Out?
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations, as usual, is in need of money.
We have been getting by through quasi-miracles but miracles depends on virtues.
At this rate it could be that our merits are running out. We need some of yours.
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations is important even if we say so ourselves.
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations does research and propagates Research Results.
Everything put out is in the public domain and may well produce more fruits in the future.
When I was doing research in the National Library in Jerusalem I sometimes came across useful books printed more than a hundred years ago with uncut pages.
No-one up till then had ever read them!
Apart from the potential good in the future we may yet be responsible for through what we have written and distributed, we are also doing much in the here and now.
The process of Reconciliation of Judah with Joseph, and Joseph with Judah, may well have advanced somewhat due to our efforts.
All of this needs money to function, the same as anything else.
In the Ethic of the Fathers, an important Mishnaic work (ca. 220 CE) it says,
# If there is no flour [to make bread], there is no Torah. If there is no Torah, there is no flour #. One is dependent on the other.
Our Biblical Commentaries were once described as "morbid"
i.e. "suggesting an unhealthy mental state or attitude; unwholesomely gloomy, sensitive, extreme, etc"
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/morbid
The fact is however that we tell the truth, the truth brings health and happiness. We are happy and healthy and so shall be they who enjoy our teachings.
There are Biblical truths and the Bible promises rewards to they who support Biblical Learning and its Propagation (Hosea 6:6; Malachi 3:10).
The Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations Message is a Biblical One.
We are working on several projects that may eventually help our situation BUT in the meantime we are still in need of succor.
Succor is defined as,
"Aid, assistance or relief given to one in distress; ministration",
"From Middle English sucuren, from Old French sucurre, sucurir ('to rescue, remedy')".
This may be appropriate BUT there is a Hebrew word "sacar" (also pronounceable as "sucor") meaning payment or reward.
It could be that the English word somehow derived from the Hebrew (like many English do) and in our case the original Hebrew meaning is the more correct one.
We are NOT appealing to those who have no money or are hard up.
We are asking those who may be able to spare something and who agree with what we are doing to help us along and SO to become PARTICIPANTS in this enterprise.
May the God of Israel bless all of you,
Yair Davidiy,
on behalf of
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations.
Jerusalem, Israel.
