Extract:
Brit-Am in accordance with Biblical and Rabbinical sources understands the following Scenario as explaining what the Ten Tribes are about.
Abraham Isaac and Jacob were the forefathers of the Israelite nation.
Jacob was re-named Israel. He had 12 sons. These sons forefathered the 12 Tribes of Israel. One of these was Joseph who had two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. Each of these became Tribes in their own right.
Technically speaking there were actually 13 Tribes but Scripture keeps to a quorum of 12.
The Israelites went down to Egypt and were subjected there.
Moses led the Hebrews out and into the Wilderness where they received the Torah.
In the Wilderness they offended the Almighty several times especially in the sin of the Golden Calf and in not wanting to conquer the Land after the 12 spies brought aback a bad report about it.
These offences were to have negative repercussions later.
The Hebrews conquered the Land, made Jerusalem the Capital, and built the Temple.
They were expected to keep the Law, learn the Torah, subdue all the Land, drive out the pagan inhabitants, and eventually cause all of humanity to better its ways. These tasks were too big for them. They were not at a high enough level and neither was the world ready at the time. Consequently they were divided. One half, headed by Judah, would henceforth retain the Torah and have to develop their understanding of it and put it into practice.
The other half, led by Joseph, were to descend to the level of the heathen, become like them, intermix with them, and then evolve upwards drawing the Gentiles upwards with them.
This is what has happened. The Jews kept the Torah and developed means of applying and understanding it.
The Ten Tribes led by Joseph conquered most of the World at some stage or other, except for some of the Land of Edom. Lands they did not conquer were strongly influenced by them through their example, economic and cultural dominance, or in other ways. Relatively speaking despite much that is still seriously lacking most of the world is more civilized today than it was centuries ago. The Ten Tribes are largely to credit for this.
At some time in the future the two halves need to re-join became unified with each other. Until then each side should do what it can. Becoming aware of who the Ten Tribes really are is a necessary step forward.

3. New Feature.
Rabbis Quoted.
Thumbnail Biographies of Rabbis Mentioned in Brit-Am Writings.
https://hebrewnations.com/articles/sources/rabbisquoted.html
This is a relatively new feature that we are regularly adding to. It already contains numerous entries.
Most of the biographical informations derives from slightly edited cut-and-paste jobs we did on Wikipedia articles or similar sources.
All the entries are relatively short but some are shorter than others.
Here and there are remarks and observations of our own.
Two of our latest additions are:
MILLER, Rabbi Avigdor HaKohen (1908-2001).
SCHECHTER, Solomon (1847 1915).
Both Miller and Shecter were Kohens which is always of interest.
The Kohens descend from Aharon the bother of Moses. They were the Priestly Caste.
A significant proportion of all leading Jewish authorities descend from this group.
Tribal Descent counts!

4. Psalm (TCT Tanakh) 57:
1 FOR THE CONDUCTOR, AL TASHCHETH, OF DAVID A MICHTAM, WHEN HE FLED FROM BEFORE SAUL IN THE CAVE.
#AL TASHCHETH# (pronounced close to "al- tash-(c)het," i.e. "DO NOT LET ME BE DESTROYED" (cf. "Metsudat David" see: Rabbis Quoted, https://hebrewnations.com/articles/sources/rabbisquoted.html
A 'michtam' is a type of song."
2 BE GRACIOUS TO ME, O GOD, BE GRACIOUS TO ME, BECAUSE MY SOUL TOOK REFUGE IN YOU, AND IN THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS I WILL TAKE REFUGE UNTIL THE DESTRUCTION PASSES.
3 I WILL CALL UPON THE MOST HIGH GOD, UPON THE GOD WHO COMPLETES [what he promised] FOR ME.
4 HE WILL SEND FROM HEAVEN AND SAVE ME FROM THE DISGRACE OF HIM WHO YEARNS TO SWALLOW ME UP FOREVER; GOD WILL SEND HIS KINDNESS AND HIS TRUTH.
5 MY SOUL IS AMONG LIONS; I LIE AMONG MEN WHO ARE AFLAME; THEIR TEETH ARE [LIKE] SPEARS AND ARROWS, AND THEIR TONGUE IS [like] A SHARP SWORD.
6 BE EXALTED ABOVE THE HEAVENS, O GOD; OVER ALL THE EARTH BE YOUR GLORY.
7 THEY PREPARED A NET FOR MY STEPS, HE BENT DOWN MY SOUL; THEY DUG A PIT BEFORE ME, THEY WILL FALL INTO IT FOREVER.
8 MY HEART IS STEADFAST WITH GOD, MY HEART IS STEADFAST; I WILL SING, YEA, I WILL SING PRAISES.
9 AWAKEN, MY HONOR; AWAKEN [ME], LYRE AND HARP; I WILL AWAKEN THE DAWN.
10 I WILL THANK YOU AMONG THE PEOPLES, O LORD; I WILL SING YOUR PRAISES AMONG THE KINGDOMS.
11 FOR YOUR KINDNESS IS GREAT UP TO THE HEAVENS, AND YOUR TRUTH IS UP TO THE SKIES.
12 BE EXALTED ABOVE THE HEAVENS, O GOD, OVER ALL THE EARTH BE YOUR GLORY.

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.
