2. Question on Croatia and Edom
Michael asked:
Yair which tribes are most prevalent from Croatia. I notice the flag almost looks like Rueben. Shalom
===============
Brit-Am Reply:
Croatia are from Edomites or from the Sons of Seir of Edom.
Do you have our book "Esau"?
http://hebrewnations.com/publications/books/esaubook.html
If so, Look up the chapter on Venice.
Edom is the arch-Enemy of Israel. Edom was divided into 12 sections. Perhaps Edom has a section of its own parallel to each of the Tribes of Israel?
The best summary of the Sons of Edom is in 1-Chronicles chapter 1.
Esau had 5 sons.
He had 11 grandsons. If you count only his grandsons plus Esau himself, you get 12.
There were 8 kings over Edom before there were kings over Israel.
In addition there were 11 Dukes (Alufim) from Esau, who were also important in genealogies.
On top of that there were Seir and his offspring. It says that Edom wipe out the Children of Seir but it also implies that they were involved with the genealogies of Edom.
Seir had seven sons.An additional ca. 30 descendants of Seir are listed.

3. Did the Rabbis Juggle the Rules?
The Question was:
Why do orthodox Jews 'trick' the rules of Judaism when they "sell" the land during the 7th year to keep exploiting it, use wigs equal to normal hair, put a cable around cities to keep carrying things during Shabbat, or sell and buy back the Hametz?
======================
Brit-Am Reply:
The explanations for all these circumventions and procedures to 'trick' the rules of Judaism" are quite complicated. They are also boring to the uninitiated. There are no secrets, just a lot of detail.
To cut it short, when you look into it they do not usually involve Biblical Law. In Judaism you have firstly what the Bible says.
After that there are Rabbinical enactments and rulings that the Bible gave the Sages responsible authority to make:
Deuteronomy (NASB) 17:
8 If any case is too difficult for you to decide, between one kind of homicide or another, between one kind of lawsuit or another, and between one kind of assault or another, being cases of dispute in your courts, then you shall arise and go up to the place which the LORD your God chooses. 9 So you shall come to the Levitical priest or the judge who is in office in those days, and you shall inquire of them and they will declare to you the verdict in the case. 10 You shall do according to the terms of the verdict which they declare to you from that place which the LORD chooses; and you shall be careful to observe according to all that they teach you. 11 According to the terms of the law which they teach you, and according to the verdict which they tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the word which they declare to you, to the right or the left. 12 The man who acts presumptuously by not listening to the priest who stands there to serve the LORD your God, nor to the judge, that man shall die; thus you shall purge the evil from Israel. 13 Then all the people will hear and be afraid, and will not act presumptuously again.
The enactments of the Sages and the Rabbis after them serve to strengthen the Biblical Law and make it clear how the Biblical Law is to be observed.
They are not however Biblical Law itself.
All the little "tricks" and roundabout ways that exist were instituted by the Rabbis to, when necessary, circumvent their own enactments. They do not touch Biblical Law itself.
People get confused on this issue but I figure if the Rabbis added something why complain if they also added escape clauses? Legislators do this all the time.
Much of what I have just said above may be argued about and contested in specific cases. That however is just the point. The Rabbinical enactments came to give directions on a practical level when in doubt.
Just as they had authority to tell a Jew what to do in borderline situations so too could they tell him HOW not to do it when necessary.

4. New Article and Video Clip. Hebrew English
======================
(a) New Article.
Hebrew English Preamble
The Israelite Input into the Modern Anglo-Saxon Language. Extracts from "Preamble."
http://hebrewnations.com/publications/books/language/hebenglishbook.html
Extract:
"Hebrew English" demonstrates how the English Language encompasses many Hebrew Words, Hebrew Linguistic features, and Hebrew thought patterns. English is a composite tongue derived from several sources. Nevertheless, the English-speaking peoples created a language consistent with a Hebrew Prototype being ever present in their collective sub-conscious.
We understand that the Lost Ten Tribes separated from Judah, moved to the west, and lost consciousness of their ancestry. We have proven this from Biblical, Rabbinical, Archaeological, Mythological, and other historical sources. It can be shown that numerous Hebrew words and linguistic features in some way or other entered the English Language. It is obvious that if the Hebraic language infusion is to be accepted regarding words then it is equally feasible that Hebrew human beings may also have accompanied them!

(b) New Video Clip.

The English Language encompasses numerous words from Hebrew and Hebrew thought pasterns. This is an additional proof of Hebrew ancestry.

5. Message from Brit-Am
Our recent word "English-Hebrew" is designed to be understandable even to readers who are not familiar with Hebrew. Nevertheless we understand that not everybody really wants this. Fair enough.
The work in itself however is valuable. It will be understandable to Hebrew speakers. It may help with Jews to confirm belief in Brit-Am teachings, and in other ways stabilize the sense of veracity we need to convey.
If the Hebraic language infusion is to be accepted as a genuine component of the English Language regarding words then it is equally feasible that this was accompanied by actual Israelites!
Establishing the feasibility of what we believe is an important step forward.
Apart from this most of our teachings are understandable to most people most of the time. The content may be somewhat intellectual. Not everyone is interested. Many do not have the time. But many others do.
We do not have to convince everyone, just to be sure ourselves and to impart this surety to others. The "Others" who become convinced will then know themselves what to do.
All this requires work, effort, and everything that goes with that.
Brit-Am needs extra assistance.
Any organization and movement that would do anything similar would also need funding.
We are not exceptional.
They who are able to give something or even just purchase one more book are asked to do so.
Everything helps.
May the God of Israel bless you all,
Yair Davidiy
Malachi 3:
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,
Says the LORD of hosts,
'If I will not open for you the windows of heaven
And pour out for you such blessing
That there will not be room enough to receive it.
Proverbs 3:
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth
and with the first of all your produce,
10 So your barns will be filled with abundance,
and your vats will burst open with new wine.
