I've noticed that a substantial number of married Israelis (both Jews and Arabs) don't wear wedding rings, whereas they are practically universal among married Americans. What factors explain the difference?

# 3. Query About South Africa
Dear Mr. Davidiy:
I think I might have been too brief in my earlier message regarding South Africa's evolving attitude toward both Israel and its unfortunate white inhabitants. I know from your books (which I have a number of on my bookshelf) that it is likely the white inhabitants of both South Africa and Rhodesia/Zimbabwe are/were descendants of Israelites (from Holland and UK). From the way things are going in those countries (with SA seemingly just getting started on what Zimbabwe has already done), it does not appear an Israelite presence will be there much longer. It seems to me that the new negative attitude of SA toward Israel that is emerging could very well be the result of the disenfranchisement and grinding elimination of its white people. Thank the world's SJW[Social Justice Warrior]s for that! At one point, Israel was willing to allow a fairly large number of African blacks who clearly had no Israelite roots to reside there. I'm guessing this was a concession made to SJW pressure. I'm all for allowing each and every white person presently in both South Africa and Zimbabwe (at least whatever small number managed to survive there) to immigrate to the USA. Considering the high likelihood that white South Africans are of Israelite ancestry, do you think the Israeli government could be persuaded to allow some to flee to Israel to save their lives?
I am now in my 60's and have come to cringe whenever I hear the term Social Justice Warrior (or SJW for short). "Social justice" is also a word that grates on me. I have seen this word appear in your writings on many occasions, so I must ask you what you feel the difference is between "social justice" and "justice." The latter has a clear and applicable dictionary meaning most everyone can agree on. But the former seems to be little more than arabesque for socialism the same way that "climate change" has become a euphemism for theft from wealthier countries via surreptitious wealth redistribution. Considering what a negative thing "social justice" has proven to be in the West, to wit, how it deliberately brought about the phony muslim refugee crisis that has turned Sweden into a rape capital (second only to South Africa) and created no-go zone hell holes in many other countries of Western Europe, perhaps it's time to conjure another term for your intended meaning. I'm happy to suggest one of the classics as a replacement: charity.

Brit-Am Reply:
Shalom, I understand that it is not a matter, at the moment, of the Whites in South Africa lacking alternate possibilities. The USA, Britain, various European nations, Australia, etc, all would welcome them. They apparently prefer for the moment to stay where they are and hope for the better. The Brit-Am message should be spread more. Attempts were made in the past with mixed results. There are also other organizations in South Africa with a similar message. Unfortunately some of these are anti-Jewish, others want to missionize Jews and plagiarize selections from our writings.

Nevertheless, the Boer leaders Botha and Smuts worked for reconciliation with the British.
[Both Botha and Smuts appear to a have believed in the Israelite Ancestry of their own people and of the British].
Other Afrikaners however were hostile to Great Britain.

3. Are the Samaritans Israelites?
It is true that the Samaritans are so-named after the city of Samaria. Nevertheless, the present day Samaritans are not (at least on the whole) descended from Hebrews but from foreign settlers who adopted a form of Israelite worship.
2-Kings (NASB) 17:
24 The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon and from Cuthah and from Avva and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and settled them in the cities of Samaria in place of the sons of Israel. So they possessed Samaria and lived in its cities. 25 At the beginning of their living there, they did not fear the LORD; therefore the LORD sent lions among them which killed some of them. 26 So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, 'The nations whom you have carried away into exile in the cities of Samaria do not know the custom of the god of the land; so he has sent lions among them, and behold, they kill them because they do not know the custom of the god of the land.' 27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, 'Take there one of the priests whom you carried away into [p]exile and let him go and live there; and let him teach them the custom of the god of the land.' 28 So one of the priests whom they had carried away into exile from Samaria came and lived at Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.

4. The Word Soul from the Hebrew "Sheol"!
Extract from:
Soul and Sheol. According to bible Where does a man go after death if he is an unbeliever?
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/quora/qbible/soul.html
The Place of Death, in most cases, at least for Israelites is referred to as Sheol (Psalms 88:3, 5, 89:48, etc. ).Â
The word Sheol is from the word-root "ShAL" connoting "request, borrow." Sheol is a temporary place of sojourn.
I think that the Hebrew word "ShEoL" is the source of the English term "soul".
Among the defining terms given by the Online Etymological Dictionary for the word "soul"
https://www.etymonline.com/word/soul
we find the following:
# Old English sawol "spiritual and emotional part of a person, animate existence; life, living being,"... Old Saxon seola, Old Norse sala, Old Frisian sele, Middle Dutch siele,... Gothic saiwala), of uncertain origin...
Sometimes said to mean originally "coming from or belonging to the sea," because that was supposed to be the stopping place of the soul before birth or after death [Barnhart];
From the above we see the possibility that the English word soul could once have been pronounced similarly to "Seol" which is how "Sheol" would have been enunciated in parts of Northern Israel (Judges 12:4-6).
We also see that originally it may have meant "the stopping place of the soul... after death" and this is what Sheol was!
cf.
Psalm (NASB) 88:
3 For my soul has had enough troubles,
And my life has drawn near to Sheol.
4 I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit;
I have become like a man without strength,
5 Forsaken among the dead,
Like the slain who lie in the grave,
Whom You remember no more,
And they are cut off from Your hand.
cf. 2-Samuel (NASB) 12:
22 He said, While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows, the LORD may be gracious to me, that the child may live.Â
23 But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.
In the Very End of Times there will be a Resurrection of the Dead and a Final Judgment.
What happens after that is Something Else!
Isaiah (NASB) 25:
8 He will swallow up death for all time,
And the LORD God will wipe tears away from all faces,
And He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth;
For the LORD has spoken.
Daniel 12:
2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt.

5. Message from Australia
Dear Yair,
Thank you for your excellent website "www.britam.org." This is just what is needed to rebut the uninformed nonsense written by Protestant Evangelicals who foolishly teach the delusion that the ten tribes of Israel were never lost but returned to Palestine when their Assyrian captivity ended. ... I am glad that you quote Scriptures from the King James Bible.
