2. Douglas Augustine: Do the Jews wish to convert 60 million Gentiles?
Douglas Augustine wrote:
Hello Mr. Davidiy:
I stumbled onto a rather strange article which I have linked to below. In essence, the thrust of it Apparently, there is an Israeli government committee created by Israel's Diaspora Affairs Ministry in 2016 which wants to influence and convert 10's of millions of people worldwide to Judiasm for the stated purpose of promoting support for Israel. I have stated the matter in simplistic terms, but on its face, it seems like a good idea. At the very minimum such efforts would serve to minimize antisemitism.
On the other hand, I can understand how there would be fierce resistance to such an idea. I have also often heard that Jews do not proselytize but do not necessarily believe that this is entirely true. I can see how people are attracted to Judiasm because of the remarkable history of the Jews in particular and Hebrew/Israelites in more general terms and also the undeniable success of the Jewish people wherever they live. There is so much to be proud of. I suppose it can be likened to proselytizing by attraction as opposed to the missionary approach of attempting to do the same by persuasion. Still, I can't help but believe that a Jewish person feels good when they meet somebody who wants to convert and would be hard pressed not to encourage such a person to do so.
The article is not long and I would be interested to read your opinion about it. There's a bit of antisemitism in it that can be ignored, but overall I found it to be an interesting idea that dovetails to some degree with the work you do.

An Israeli government committee's recommendation to target 'potential Jews' around the world to promote Israel, and even be converted, has been slammed by religious groups.

Brit-Am Reply:
Shalom,
The web-site looks interesting. It seems to be a Russian Government propaganda outlet directed world-wide but with some emphasis on the UK.
It also, as you have noted, has a somewhat anti-Jewish anti-Israeli slant.
IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT ANTI-SEMITISM IS A SEMI-OFFICAL DOCTRINE OF RUSSIA TODAY!
People tend to project their own predilections when speaking of others. In other words if they were Jewish this is what they think the Jews should do.
The article quotes from what seems to be an appended observation from a report requested by Naftali Bennett.
"Minister for Diaspora Affairs Naftali Bennett commissioned the report and is a member of the right-wing Jewish Home Party."
The report could be simply the rambling insertions of a minor official. It does not necessarily have any official sanction.
Neither does it necessarily make that much difference (for the present) what the Minister for Diaspora Affairs thinks on the matter.
Rabbi Avraham Kook noted in one of his works that secular nationalism among Jews ultimately leads to the desire to reach out to other peoples.
Experience indicates that the Gentiles they have in mind who already show some possible inclinations towards Judaism are not those we consider to pertain to the Lost Ten Tribes.
Our rivals in this field are much more enthusiastic about such measures than we are.
Our belief is that:
The Lost Ten Tribes are among Western People.
We have to reach out and awaken them concerning their ancestry.
There are others including Edomites etc among them who are against us and will always have a tendency to be against us.
We must be careful not to cause harm.
Already articles of ours and sections of our books have been plagiarized by others (without attribution) and used together with Christian missionize and anti-Jewish comments.
There in fact seem to be very few individuals or groups today who identify the Lost Ten Tribes with Western Peoples who do not use our sources. Many of them however do not acknowledge our contribution.
At present we understand that the message we deliver needs to concentrate on proof of ancestry and advocacy of pro-Jewish attitudes.
That is already a lot and it is something that is needed.
This is what we have a Mandate to and what we are doing. Beyond that is in the hands of Divine Providence.

Extract from: Brit-Am Commentary to Jeremiah ch.31
http://britam.org/jeremiah1.html
The following Midrash refers to the return of the Ten Tribes in the End Times:
'Behold thou art fair, my love, yea pleasant, also our bed is green' (Song of Solomon 1:16).
Israel says: Behold thou art fair, my love When you will take retribution from the worshippers of idols. Yea pleasant when you pay the reward of those who fear you. Also our bed: These are the Ten Tribes. [In Hebrew "bed" is 'eres' while ten is 'eser' and uses the same letters, and 'our bed' (erseynu) sounds like 'our ten' (esereynu).] They are those who were exiled beyond the Sambation River. The exiles of Judah and Benyamin [i.e. the present-day 'Jews'] are destined to go unto them and bring them back in order to merit with them the Messianic Era and life in the World-To-Come. This is as it says, 'In those days the house of Judah shall go unto the house of Israel and they shall come together out of the land of the north unto the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers' (Jeremiah 3:18).
-Midrash Yalkut Shimeoni, Song of Solomon 905.
The verse (Jeremiah 3:18) should be read as:
'THE HOUSE OF JUDAH SHALL GO UNTO [rather than 'WALK WITH'] THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. People from Judah and Benjamin (i.e. legal Jews) shall go unto the Lost Ten Tribes who are beyond the Sambation River. In our works ('Ephraim' and 'The Tribes') we explained that the Sambation River means Israelite Exiles who migrated to the west. The simple meaning is that Jews from Judah will go unto the Lost Tribes to bring them back. It could be said that the Jewish members of Brit-Am Israel is doing this to some degree.
There is an additional explanation:
Captive Jews
Since beginning this project and making contact with numerous people who are interested in the subject and studying it we have noticed an interesting phenomenon. Many non-Jews ('Gentiles') who agree with us that the Lost Ten Tribes are in the West and feel an inner urge to learn this message and in some cases help spread it also believe they have Jewish origins. Sometimes this belief of Jewish origins is based on known facts concerning one or other of their ancestors. In other cases the feeling of Jewish origins is based on flimsy evidence but nevertheless the feeling exists. Such feelings do not appear from nowhere and probably derive from an inner awareness of their true ancestry. The people in question are often those who are now helping spread knowledge and attitudes that will lead to the Return of the Lost Ten Tribes. The role of these people in future will increase. These 'Lost Jews' are also fulfilling the Prophecy of Jeremiah (3:18). They have gone out from Judah to Israel and they are beginning to bring Israel back from the Land of the North. We refer to these people as 'Captive Jews' though 'Lost Jews' may be more appropriate. We used the term 'Captive Jews' (rather than 'Assimilated Jews' or something similar) since in many cases Jews were forced or heavily pressured to change their religion and cease being Jewish against their will. Descendants of these 'Lost Jews' or 'Captive Jews' are often the leaders who are bringing their fellow Captive Jews as well as the Lost Tribes back to their source.

3. The Song "Halleluyah."
76% of the Israeli Jewish public keep the Kashrut rules of Peach! The Jews in Israel are not so anti-religious as they sometimes seem.
The 70th Anniversary of the foundation of the Starte of Israel is coming up, for Friday, April 19, 2018.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-to-celebrate-70th-birthday-with-70-hour-spectacle/
An official song has been chosen for this.
Here is a Video Clip of the song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTf-DJXAfRw
It is called "Haleluyah!" i.e. Praise God. The song praise God for the State of Israel.
It is a religious song. The singers are women and the audience consists mainly of young women.
It isn ot something the Ultra-Orthodox would (to which I belong) necessarily approve of but it is worth watching all the same.
It is well-done in may opinion and uplifting.
