1. Letter from Lavander:
Shalom,
I am a 65 year old Christian American woman who was taught about the lost tribes of Israel by my father since I was just a girl. He taught me then by the same scriptures as you teach from the Bible now. When I was a young woman I ask my father why no one believes who the lost tribes are. He answered, it was hidden for now, but when the time is right GOD will open their eyes.
I thank GOD for your revelation and pray for you daily. ...
May GOD bless you and keep you,
Lavanda

2. What did Moses, Winston Churchill, Yair Davidiy, King George-vi, all have in common?
Answer:
They all began their speaking careers with a minor speech impediment or shortly after overcoming one.
(And who said we were too modest for our own good?)
Exodus (NKJV) 4:
10 THEN MOSES SAID TO THE LORD, "O MY LORD, I AM NOT ELOQUENT, NEITHER BEFORE NOR SINCE YOU HAVE SPOKEN TO YOUR SERVANT; BUT I AM SLOW OF SPEECH AND [B]SLOW OF TONGUE."
11 SO THE LORD SAID TO HIM, "WHO HAS MADE MAN'S MOUTH? OR WHO MAKES THE MUTE, THE DEAF, THE SEEING, OR THE BLIND? HAVE NOT I, THE LORD? 12 NOW THEREFORE, GO, AND I WILL BE WITH YOUR MOUTH AND TEACH YOU WHAT YOU SHALL SAY."
Exodus (NKJV) 6:
12 AND MOSES SPOKE BEFORE THE LORD, SAYING, "THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL HAVE NOT HEEDED ME. HOW THEN SHALL PHARAOH HEED ME, FOR I AM [I]OF UNCIRCUMCISED LIPS?"

3. Recorded Brit-Am Interview still appreciated.
Ages ago, Tamar Yonah who then worked for Arutz-7 interviewed Yair Davidiy concerning Brit-Am.
The Audio Recording is still available.
See;
https://britam.org/Broadcasts/YairweekTamar2.mp3
This recording has recently received serious compliments and is worth listening to.
The recording is about 47 minutes long BUT Yair Davidiy (i.e. Yours Truly) only starts speaking from about half way through so scroll to the middle if you do not want to hear the others.
Highlights Paraphrased:
Q. How do we know whether we descend from the LTTs?
Answer: We cannot really know for sure BUT if we or our forefathers came from certain areas where the LTTs settled then the statistical probability is high that they descended from Israelites.
This probability is heightened if it is combined with other factors such as empathy for the Jewish People, instinctive identification with the Israelites of the Bible, etc.
\Towards the end the speaker goes of on a tangent. His statements do not relate to Brit-Am explanations but to those of others all of whom are as mistaken as he himself is.

4. Query on the Video Clip of Someone Else.
=========
Amnon Goldberg asked:
What is Britam's opinion of this talk on the Ten Lost Tribes by R.Efraim Palvanov?
The Truth About the Lost Tribes of Israel

Brit-Am Reply:
This video has some interesting points. Here and there he may have been influenced by Brit-Am since he compares the USA to the 13 Tribes in a similar Tribal-Identification perspective as Brit-Am does. There are other similarities - Or this may be simply parallel deductions from the general literature.
The Speaker mentions members of the Lost Ten Tribes (from Ephraim, Manasseh, Simeon, and Benjamin) coming to settle in Judah in the time of Kings As and after that of King Hezekiah.
(This however is not necessarily the case concerning Hezekiah. People from the other Tribes did come up to Jerusalem to pay homage but they may have returned to their homes after that).
The speaker gives a reasonable overall view of part of the Background concerning the Lost Ten Tribes from a Jewish perspective.
BUT he has made some very serious mistakes.
For example he tries to say (more than halfway through the clip) that only about 2 tribes actually got lost, all the others he says came back.
This is incorrect.
As we have shown over and over again the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THE TEN TRIBES lost awareness of their ancestry. They got lost. Nachmanides, the Radak, the Malbim, and nearly all the great early leading Rabbis agree with Brit-Am on this point.
So far Brit-Am is the ONLY authority on this subject whose opinion corresponds with that of Great Rabbis and locates the Lost Ten Tribes among Western Peoples.
The Second Book of Ezra that he speaks about is an Apocryphal work (not in the Hebrew Bible) possibly of Christian Origin, originally written in Greek, and is unreliable. At all events it does not say much.
The Speaker (towards the end) mentions British Israel and Nordic Israel .
He explains the frequent appearance of the word "dan" in the names of places and rivers etc as due to an Indo-European root meaning water.
This is an old academic assertion which has been rejected for some time. Whatever its origins it does have ethnic connotations, Its association with an actual tribe named "Dan" is the most logical explanation.
At all events this video may have done something to arouse interest in the subject. He received a reasonably large number of views and did bring up a few points of interest.

Jacob (aka Israel) Kept the Law of Tithing: Jacob linked his tithing to a Return to the House of his Father. We can do the same.
Genesis (NIV) 28:
18 EARLY THE NEXT MORNING JACOB TOOK THE STONE HE HAD PLACED UNDER HIS HEAD AND SET IT UP AS A PILLAR AND POURED OIL ON TOP OF IT.
19 HE CALLED THAT PLACE BETHEL, THOUGH THE CITY USED TO BE CALLED LUZ.
20 THEN JACOB MADE A VOW, SAYING, IF GOD WILL BE WITH ME AND WILL WATCH OVER ME ON THIS JOURNEY I AM TAKING AND WILL GIVE ME FOOD TO EAT AND CLOTHES TO WEAR
21 SO THAT I RETURN SAFELY TO MY FATHERS HOUSEHOLD, THEN THE LORD WILL BE MY GOD
22 AND THIS STONE THAT I HAVE SET UP AS A PILLAR WILL BE GODS HOUSE, AND OF ALL THAT YOU GIVE ME I WILL GIVE YOU A TENTH.
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.
