1. Comment and Query from Steve Mathe. Pathways for Returning to the Land.
Shalom Yair!
A Ten Tribes (TT) person contacted me who thinks that the Divine advice to TT returning home to the Land is contained in a prophetic advice, (if not a "commandment,") where we have to trace our ancient migration routes out of the Land and use it exactly for returning back to the Land (Jer. 31:21). While this is helpful to see the identifying signs we left behind in our travels, some take this literally, thinking we have to take the very SAME routes back to Erets Israel. For example, some one who is in the UK or USA who wants to go "home" now, he will have go to France first, then to then to Italy, then to Slavonia, Serbia, then to Bulgaria, than Greece than to the Land. This may be a nice, expensive vacation, but it is NOT to be used as the literal "road of return" back to the Land now, nor for that matter at ANY TIME.
In another example, if someone living in the USA now traces himself to have taken the northern route to the steppes of Russia, then do I have to fly to Russia's steppes on the Eastern side of the Urals, then to Azerbaijan, than go the Georgia, than to Greece, then to the Land? This is a major(!) misunderstanding.
If someone has no idea who his ancestors were or how his ancestors arrived in the West, or the East, or from whatever place in the world, then he cannot "go home?"
I take this prophetic advice for the collective benefit for the TT where we can see the our migration routes. Most of us have no idea how we arrived where we were awakened, who we were by other names, etc. We do not have exact geneology records of our ancestors nor diaries kept by each of our ancestors, handed down to us through many generations for this purpose.
Please comment on this.

PS:
This is wrongheaded in another way as well... we are NOT TO FLOOD INTO THE LAND NOW. The Divine command for that has not been sounded.
BTW, there is a road of return, it is a spiritual return, not a physical return road, that we have to return on first, way before we are called back to the Land.

Brit-Am Reply:
The injunction is to observe the pathway you went in ORDER TO RETURN.
Use it as proof, make it evidence, to convince yourself. We all need to re-assure ourselves everey step of the way.
Jeremiah (MSV) 31:
21 SET UP THE ROADMARKS,
ESTABLISH THE SIGNPOSTS.
KEEP THE HIGHWAY IN MIND,
THE ROAD YOU HAVE TRAVELED.
RETURN, O VIRGIN ISRAEL,
RETURN TO THESE CITIES OF YOURS.
Jeremiah (WBT) 31:
21 Set thee up way-marks, make thee high heaps: set thy heart towards the highway, even the way which thou wentest; turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.

re
Ten Tribes Rabbinical Proofs-1. England and France
Alan B
I was taught this many years ago but the teachings were presented under the title of British Israelism. It was a teaching that I never truly held to because it was heavily biased toward the British Isles and gave no account of the other nations of the diaspora. Then after a visit to the ancient synagogue in Amsterdam I was introduced to the histories of the Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews and my interest was rekindled. Thank you Yair Davidiy for sharing this lesson with us. You have shown me new doorways and avenues of learning to follow. G-D be with you.

re
The Ten Tribes are not Jewish! (2/3)
@KateGladstone
But how do we KNOW, actually, that 'America' = 'HaMacheri'? The consonants of the two words aren't even in the same order. How do we KNOW that every history book is wrong about this? Was the name 'America' even used, anywhere, by anyone, before Amerigo Vespucci?

It is obvious 'all' Humans are being controlled generationally. by subconscious 'very dangerous' forces.

@boscosun436
Both my grandfathers and my parents taught me this from birth, though i am not jewish i have blood in the 10 lost tribes
@deanspanley4472
Good stuff, I have noticed an awakening of many of the blood line, no matter how watered down. As for circumcision, make sure for the future that it's done well. I nearly died twice, 1 had to be ceserian after 48 hrs of labour, poor Mum carrying my 10.4 pound birth weight and then nearly died again when the Dr cut a blood vessel during circumcision. Beast can't get rid of me that easily
@user-ob6fo6po3n
I'm English with Irish and Scottish heritage also my family has a real love for the Jewish people i feel i may have Jewish heritage
@Stuart1779
Look at welsh place names, i.e. mouths of rivers. They translate into Hebrew.
@justinrobertsendoftheage
Well Levi is here in Wales with me and Benjamin in America with Jason.

@JacobXXL
I went on a rant once to a Israeli and I threw Hosea chapter 11 out to him. I showed him a picture of myself and child and asked if I looked like him. I delved deeper and searched his friends who I found had a Confederate battle flag merged with a Israeli flag that had 'one struggle' on the middle of it. I was immediately dumbfounded because that's the flag of my people mixed with this Israelis flag.

3. Which Tribes were the tax-collectors?

Yair in your studies what tribe or tribes seems to have more of a

Thx Mike

Brit-Am Reply:
The Tribe of Levi was probably predominant in this.
Based on what we know about 2nd Temple Period times in Ancient Times taxs etc was raised through three agencies:
1. The Temple.
2. The Local Villages etc.
3. The King or Governor.
1. The Temple took money in the form of annual offerings, dedications, sacrifices, etc.
This involved all of the citizens.
The Levites were in charge of this.
2. Local Needs.
This comprised local government in general, water supply, wastage disposal, security, education, public health, etc.
Popular representatives would take care of this under the direction of the Sages.
A good portion of the Sages were from the Tribe of Levi.
3. The King or Governor.
This concerned foreign affairs, military matters, emergency arrangements, co-ordination of activities within the realm, etc.
These tasks could be carried out by people from any Tribe. Nevertheless, Judah, Benjamin, and Levi may have been predominant.

4. Brit-Am and the Doctor.
In continuing his treatment for skin cancer (or something less serious but related) Yair overdosed with a very strong cream.
This resulted in burns over much of his face etc. As a result Yair was indisposed for a few days.
The Brit-Am ZOOM talk we were supposed talk to give on the Root and Branch program (hosted by Lowell Galin) was therefore postponed.
It may take place next week or it may it may have to be postponed again.
Meanwhile we managed to do some work of importance.
Yair is feeling OK but is still indisposed somewhat. I seldom leave the house or go outside. Sunshine is inimical at present. I have a son who lives relatively nearby
and he brings me what I need. We seem to be improving from day to day.
God willing things will get better and Brit-Am will come through successfully.
Brit-Am provides a needed service. Our message is correct and in some ways unique.
We need more donations and book purchases.
Those who can help are asked to do so.
May the God of Israel be with you

5. Psalm 23.
(a) A Psalm of David (ESV) 23:
1 THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD; I SHALL NOT WANT.
2 HE MAKES ME LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES.
HE LEADS ME BESIDE STILL WATERS.
3 HE RESTORES MY SOUL.
HE LEADS ME IN PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE.
4 EVEN THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,
I WILL FEAR NO EVIL,
FOR YOU ARE WITH ME;
YOUR ROD AND YOUR STAFF,
THEY COMFORT ME.
5 YOU PREPARE A TABLE BEFORE ME
IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES;
YOU ANOINT MY HEAD WITH OIL;
MY CUP OVERFLOWS.
6 SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME
ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE,
AND I SHALL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD
FOREVER.

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.
