1. New Month of Cheshvan. Tribe of Manasseh
This year the Hebrew Month of Cheshvan (pronounceable similarly to "Heshvan") begins on October 17 in the evening and continues (for 2 days) through October 18, till sunset on October 19, 2020.
Cheshvan is also known as "Marcheshvan." Cheshvan is the only month that does not have any holidays or special mitzvot. We are taught that it is 'reserved' for the time of Moshiach, who will inaugurate the Third Temple in the month of Cheshvan. https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/2263464/jewish/Cheshvan.htm?gclid=Cj0KCQjwgNXtBRC6ARIsAIPP7RsHyfa-61bbGcJKT1znGGiVT7hEVb_2ro3HCF8m0YOXQ5jW8O2v_KgaAl3uEALw_wcB
The Mainstream Opinion (HaGra and Arizal) ascribes this month of the Tribe of Manasseh.
In the Bible this month is called Bul (1-Kings 6:38).

#5. New Article and Video Clip. Directions of Conduct for TTs.
I have to disagree with Yair as to his saying that the Lost Ten Tribes are not required to keep the same faith as Judah. While the moral rules are a good thing, and the Christians (formerly of the Lost Ten Tribes) do claim to worship the same God, they did anciently pledge to keep the whole law, and God has not changed a thing for His part. My eyes were not opened by a merciful God until, just as experiment, I started keeping the Sabbath and the dietary laws as well. Then I was blessed to be in the company of other Christians also questioning the obvious things like a Sunday Sabbath, and with further study we realized the basis of the Christian faith was, to put it mildly, flawed from end to end with the inclusion of every pagan notion that has been devised by man for thousands of years, starting with vicarious atonement. I wish some means could be found to challenge Christians to keep the Sabbath and the dietary laws. There's nothing to be lost, it's risk free; and could be, they will be led to the truth as I was.

==================
Brit-Am Comment.
We have nothing against Israelites from the Ten Tribes keeping the Sabbath. On the contrary.
We think however that these matters pertain to the whole collective body of the Ten tribes rather than tot he individual.
Meanwhile knowledge of Hebrew descent should be spread more.
Most people will not understand the importance o f this message one way or the other. Nevertheless, the few who are receptive should be informed.

3. The Value, or Lack of it, in Racial Studies
A Corespondent calling himself, "In Opposition" wrote:
I found this article very informative and thought you'd agree. I've
been looking into the eye color ratio of Ireland, Scotland, Wales,
Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Netherlands, Austria, Iceland, etc,
and obviously, eye color can be directly linked to our Northern Kingdom ancestral descent.
What is your opinion on this?

# 3. Blue Eyes and Eye Color in General
Personally I have always had an interest in race and have read quite a bit on the subject.
Old Theories concerning head shapes, etc, as well as those about skin color, eyes, etc, all the way through to modern studies on DNA, I read it all.
It is always interesting.
It nearly always has something of value BUT there is always something missing with it.
The Roman Tacitus had it right when he ascribed similarity of appearance as due to either similarity of environment or common ancestry.
Both factors are involved. The scientists know this but they cannot explain it or rather are unable to declare where one factor plays in and the other does not.
AS i SAID IT IS ALWAYS INTERESTING!
It can helps us a little here and there. We should endeavor to keep up-to-date with all of it.
At the same time we need to be constantly wary of attaching too much importance to the claims made in its name.
The Bible is what counts.
This may be followed by rabbinical and historical sources.
Race studies may also help but only after conclusions have already been reached from more reliable sources.
God be with you,

Genesis (NASB) 28:
20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, 'If God will be with me and will keep me on this journey that I take, and will give me food to eat and garments to wear, 21 and I return to my father's house in safety, then the LORD will be my God. 22 This stone, which I have set up as a pillar, will be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You.'
