1. New (or Shortened?) YouTube Video Clip. Hiding the Holy Name
Duration ca. 19 minutes
How was the Holy Name of God hidden in full view of the world? Why can the Name NOT be made known in our generation? Why are all claims to know the Name false?
Divine Providence does not want us to know or use the name in our time. In the future this may change. See: Holy Name? Uncovering the Misconception Behind Attempts to Utter the Sacred Name of the Almighty
Explanation: The previous YouTube Clip, "The Holy Name"Â was made as having a duration of ca. 36 minutes. When we uploaded it and played it through all 36 minutes were there. The next day we played it through again and only the first 16 minutes were available. What happened is not certain. Later we played it through again and the hidden minutes had revealed themselves! It was once again 36 minutes!
 This present clip "Hiding the Holy Name" contains the missing minutes that appear to have disappeared from the first one and turned up again afterwards. The subject involves hiding the Name: This present clip reveals the hidden half (about the Hiding) for those who may have found it hidden! Or for those who want to hear about how the hidden Name was hidden rather than what led up to it.
Another clip that falsely claims to reveal the name calls itself "Nehemia Gordon Talking About Shattering the Conspiracy of Silence with Christine Darg". What if the Great Conspirator in the Sky wants to hide HIS Name for the time being? What's the big deal? We wrote to them but they expunged our pearls of wisdom from their tablet. Do they have a Conspiracy of Silence against our honored selves? What do they fear? Meanwhile we suspect a technical glitch and not a Conspiracy of Silence as responsible for silencing the second half of our first clip about the Hidden Name that got hidden. Just as there was no Conspiracy of Silence about hiding and then revealing the second half of our clip about Hiding the Hidden so too was there NO Conspiracy about hiding the name but rather an exercise of Divine Imperative that had expressed itself and enjoined a future concealment from the beginning! The Bible says that the Name was to be hidden and so it was!

2. Sylvia Halpert: Observations about the Ten Tribes and New Claimants
Shalom Yair,
Â
Thank you for the lesson on the Name of God. It was helpful.
Â
How should I explain to friends who ask regarding the tribes of so-called Israelites showing up in various places around the world, like New Guinea and Pakistan? They are calling themselves lost Israelites, but without the DNA as far as I know. But then Anglo Saxons do not have it either.
Â
 Are we seeing the fulfillment of prophecy in a worldwide movement to turn to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? In the light of your research showing that the real Israelites went west and north towards Great Britain, would you say these tribes are descendants from converts from many years ago.
Â
Could they be part of what the Prophets meant when they said, 'God will be King over all the earth' and the "knowledge of God will cover the earth" and "all nations will come to Jerusalem"? Will we see more of this occurring as time passes?
Â
Thanks,
 SH

3. Michelle Bowie: Observations about the Name.
 Re: Holy Name?
...Oddly, I had been praying about this very subject so to receive this was timely indeed.
It is a frustrating subject, regarding the Name. Throughout Scripture we are told to call upon the Name that we might be saved. Yes, also it is written that His Name was profaned. What a mystery.
As you state it is suspect to use vowels at all since original Hebrew does not use them.
....One author (I won't mention names) says that when he heard the name said by someone he knew, he heard shofar blasts, yet this same author uses the "V" and that is not an original Hebrew letter as far as I know. I know in modern Hebrew it is used, but I have not found it to be so in the more ancient language.
Â
Anyway, I do thank you for your contribution of knowledge with regard to this most delicate subject!!!
Â
Blessings, mb

# I'm sorry that you aren't being supported more. I hope it's not a black-balled situation, but merely the case of "we don't know what to do or support, Yair's a lone wolf not supported by many in the Land so we appreciate Brit-Am work but need to concentrate on the reality of waiting on something more concrete."
Reply:
The question should be whether or not Yair has something to add? Do we have evidence? Is it reliable? Do we manage to spread the Message?
Just because we are thought not to receive much support should not be a reason for those who otherwise might support us not to do so!

# ...I think you are concrete, i didn't mean that in any negative way. Please keep in mind your frustration is also felt by the many "Ephraimite" or "Two House" groups because they feel unsupported by Judah largely....both by Traditional/Modern Judaism aspects and by Messianic Judaism folks. It's a tough spot for all to be in.
Reply:
We are getting back to the "Catch 22" type formulation.Â
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations is NOT the same as "Ephraimite" or "Two House" groups. These groups do not, on the whole, support us. On the contrary, so why should our fate be wound up with theirs?
"Ephraimite" or "Two House" groups may not be supported by Jews because they are basically Christians, at times with open or hidden agendas.
On the other hand if "Ephraimite" or "Two House" groups do not support us (as we feel they should) what legitimacy do they have?
Messianic Judaism folks have their own problems and Brit-Am does not expect them to support us.
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations exists in an Orthodox Milieu and is consistent with it. We have been here for a long time. We are accepted by all circles. So are our books. This in itself is an acheivements that no-one else can claim. If we had more support we could do more. Our agenda however is to spread our message of the Three Rs.
"Ephraimite" or "Two House" groups have a lot of funds and public-ration venues and opportunities. They could help us a lot. They do not do so. They benefit from our existence but do not recognize our contribution to what should be considered a common cause, i.e. recognition of the Ten Tribes being primarily amongst Western Peoples.

There's a tug-of-war within people on who to support, when nobody can guarantee that they are accepted as an individual as "Lost Joseph"...but only strong speculation is present. It's hard to support that, because a person or group can feel like it isn't enough to go on....or it won't produce fruit....or often i hear people are not wanting to put both feet in because they "may not be Joseph, so why fool themselves, even though they feel a tug towards the possibility."
Reply:
Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations provides evidence and beliefs. If this is considered of value it should be encouraged in a palpable manner.

7. New Article. Tea Taphah?
Was Taphah the Daughter of Solomon the Real Tea Tephi of Irish Tradition?
Extract:
"Taphah the daughter of Solomon" married Abinadab who administered the important region of Dor on the coast in Manasseh. Maybe they gave rise to a local dynasty of their own? Indications are that former Israelite inhabitants of Dor were to form a kind of group in their own right and are to be identified later in the West. We have traced them to Spain as part of Israelites settlers who did later move to Ireland.Â
