[Note: This article and YouTube Clip deal with a similar theme to our recent article
"Yair in Irin. A Mixed Jewish-Israelite Group in Ireland and Scotland"
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/tribes/ireland-and-ulster/yair.html
The approach here however is a little different. It is more concise and a few additional insights have been added.]

(b) YouTube Clip. Dan & Judah in Ireland
Duration: 24.01 minutes
Biblical and Archaeological sources show that in the area of Israelite Tribes east of the Jordan (Gilead and Bashan) once existed Hebrew ethnic groups and polities. These groupings re-appear in similar alignments amongst the settlers of Ireland. They were from the Lost Ten Tribes.

Re
Scotland and Israel. Points of Interest
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/tribes/scotland/points.html
Shalom Yair,
I found the articles on Scotland very interesting. It answers my puzzle how my mother's family, who go back to Switzerland in the 13 or 14 hundreds, whom I always suspected may have come from Spain to there. Some in the family say the Balkans. But the DNA shows more likenesses in Ireland and Spain. But my father's family were Scots Irish and go back at least to 300 ACE in Scotland. But they both are from exactly the same DNA haplo group. My husband's mother's family were Scots as well and they are of exactly the same haplo group. I know the haplo group goes back the farthest in history, but nevertheless it is part of the story.
In addition, I still believe the Mc or Mac before many Scots and Irish names come from the idea of son of Maacah or Machir. It answers some of the puzzling names like, McElhanon, or in the case of my father Mc Ateer. There was an Ater listed in a list of names in the Bible as well or maybe even McDonald. These names show a mixture of Judah, Levi and Dan besides the obvious Manashe. The mixing may have come on the way or after arriving in Scotland. I have not read enough to have any facts, they are just hunches. However, it did make reading the article interesting to me.
Thanks, Adinah

4. Hebrew Nations Needs Advice on Managing Facebook Pages.
Yair needs some direction concerning Hebrew Nations
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hebrew-Nations/114512172040677
 and Yair Davidiy Facebook Pages.
https://www.facebook.com/yair.davidiy
Nothing ambitious.
Just things like:
What to do when embedded links to new YouTube Clips are not automatically accepted as they used to be;
How to remove false spam information (inserted by others) from personal details in the About section, etc. etc
Brit-Am does do a great deal on a shoe-string budget.
We are enabled to do this through Divine Providence.
Our operation is run through our own efforts, and the voluntary assistance of others (who usually wish to remain anonymous) in various fields.
Now, if we could just find a sponsor or two...
Or even a few more moderate contributors...

5. Proverbs 20: 13-15Â Keep Your Eyes Open!
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/bible/proverbs/proverbs20.html
20:
13 Do not love sleep, or else you will come to poverty;
  open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread.
If you sleep instead of working you will not earn anything.
This is obvious. By extension however it means that when there is a problem and something needs to be done do not hold yourself back. Do what you can. In most cases this should prove to be more than enough.
14 'Bad, bad', says the buyer,
  then goes away and boasts.
Someone who wants something from you may belittle the cost to yourself.
Be aware.
Alternately, when one needs to achieve something the effort may make it seem hardly worth it. Once the gain is gotten however we exult.
 Rashi applies this point to learning the Torah.
15 There is gold, and abundance of costly stones;
  but the lips informed by knowledge are a precious jewel.
We value gold and jewels. There are quite a lot of these in the world though not necessarily in the pockets of us all.
The Hebrew word translated above as knowledge is Daat. This means KNOWING.
Someone who really knows something and can express it may be harder to find than a bag of diamonds on a rainy day.
We should value knowledge in the sense of KNOWING when we come across it.
