1. Compliment to Brit-Am.
From: Greg Dearing.
Hi there,
I love your site. It feels like a mystical experience to read the articles and research you've put together. Incredible work!
Warm regards,
Greg
ps.
I meant every word. I believe your work is very important and there are lost sheep of the house of Israel in many places.
Your work proves this. I wish you health and strength that you might carry on with the work for many years to come.
Your site is a gem, and currently my favorite on the internet.
Peace and blessings to you and yours,
Greg

The Almighty Will Redeem the Assimilated and Lost Descendants of Israel.
Rashi on Psalms 87:
Interesting addition to the Brit-Am Commentary on Psalm 87.
[Source pointed out to us by Rabbi Yehonatan (son of Yair) Davidy.]
http://britam.org/psalms/psalms87.html
[Psalms 87:6] THE LORD SHALL COUNT, WHEN HE WRITETH UP THE PEOPLE, THAT THIS MAN WAS BORN THERE. SELAH.
Commentary of Rashi (France, 1040 -1105 CE):
##...In the future when God records the punishments to be meted out to the idolaters, HE will then register those of Israel who have been swallowed up amongst them and those who were forced to join them. He will bring them out and say, These were descended from the inhabitants of Zion. He will choose them for Himself as Isaiah says: AND I WILL ALSO TAKE OF THEM FOR PRIESTS [Hebrew: "Cohanim"] AND FOR LEVITES [Isaiah 66:21]. From out of the Gentiles who will bring them forth as offerings I will take those [of Israelite descent] who were assimilated amongst them. These will include Cohens [i.e. Priests] and Levites. They are not foreigners. Before ME their identity is revealed, says the Almighty.
And where does the Almighty say it?
THE SECRET THINGS BELONG UNTO THE LORD OUR GOD [Deuteronomy 29:29].
Hosea 14:2
Valle. # ... The impurity and debasement of the Ten Tribes was not their true nature.
The Power of Repentance can elevate a Person to a greater height than he ever had before.
The Israelites have an innate purity.
They therefore do not have to try very hard to return to where they should have been if they had not sinned. .... #
Valle: # It is a known matter that Israel [i.e. Ephraim, the northern Ten Tribes] did not descend into the Realms of Pollution other than for the Need to Clarify his Destiny.
He needed to fulfill the will of God and reform the world through redirecting its forces.
When this is done they shall return to their Source. There will be no need to remain in that situation any more. This is the meaning of, "Ephraim shall say, 'What have I to do anymore with idols?'" (Hosea 14:8).
Note:
Among the original settlers of Mea Shearim were two brothers from Ireland who had converted to Judaism.
Today all the old families in that area are in some way or other related to these two Irishmen.
it is a veritable Bastion of Ultra-Orthodox Judaism in the Holy Land.
Judaism has always accepted converts.
The Lost Ten Tribes are destined to be the future converts to Judaism (Talmud Yerushalmi, Sanherdrin 10;6).

3. Mark McGee: Notes of Menasseh and Moses.
Mark McGee wrote:
Shalom Yair,
I'm reading http://israelvisit.co.il/top/yisro.shtml
This site was referenced in your biography page on Hebrew nations. Toda Yair
In reply to your article "is america part of the promised land". Moses and Menasha differ in spelling only by the letter nun. This could have implications for understanding the role of the LTT in our times and help in understanding the different roles of menasha and ephraim. Israel/ephraim(?) was established over 400 years before Moses. But Moses /menasha(?) was associated with latter national miracles. This could help understand why Jacob blessed the lad menasha as greater still. (Gn49) That menasha's destiny was to be more like Moses and Epraim's destiny would be similar to the biography of Jacob. Both serving a divine purpose but Moses arriving much later. I hope this is not reaching too far into contemporary events, but America as the national expression of menasha/moses appears to be starting an expedition into the holy land in rebuilding Gaza.
This is the excerpt from http://israelvisit.co.il/top/yisro.shtml
Moshe's one noted grandson was infamous-- Y'honatan ben Gershom ben Menasha served as a Levite priest in an idolatrous Danite temple (Judges 18)-....M'nasha" is written (v. 30) with the nun suspended in the air, so that his real name, Moshe, appears as we read it straight across (B.B. 109b). Y'honatan was wavering between his true ancestor, Moshe, and his adopted role model-- wicked Menasha.
Shalom.

5. Nice Vist from the Netherlands.
A young family from Urk in the Central Netherlands
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urk
visited us in our home in Beitar Ilit in Israel.
The visit was very welcome and we enjoyed it. It was also informative.
URK is now joined to the coast near Amsterdam but it was formerly an island mainly of fisherman who were Biblically -orientated and pro-Jewish.
We at Brit-Am work all the time through the Internet and Video Clips which is somewhat impersonal.
It is good from time to time to meet the actual people who have an interest in us.

6. Psalms (TCTanakh) 92.
1 A SONG WITH MUSICAL ACCOMPANIMENT FOR THE SABBATH DAY.
2 IT IS GOOD TO GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, AND TO SING TO YOUR NAME, O MOST HIGH.
3 TO DECLARE IN THE MORNING YOUR KINDNESS AND YOUR FAITH AT NIGHT.
4 UPON A TEN-STRINGED HARP AND UPON A PSALTERY, WITH SPEECH UPON A HARP.
5 FOR YOU HAVE MADE ME HAPPY O LORD, WITH YOUR WORK; WITH THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS I SHALL EXULT.
6 HOW GREAT ARE YOUR WORKS, O LORD! YOUR THOUGHTS ARE VERY DEEP.
7 A BOORISH MAN DOES NOT KNOW; NEITHER DOES A FOOL UNDERSTAND THIS.
8 WHEN THE WICKED FLOURISH LIKE GRASS, AND ALL WORKERS OF VIOLENCE BLOSSOM, ONLY TO BE DESTROYED TO ETERNITY.
9 BUT YOU REMAIN ON HIGH FOREVER, O LORD.
10 FOR BEHOLD YOUR ENEMIES, O LORD, FOR BEHOLD YOUR ENEMIES WILL PERISH; ALL WORKERS OF VIOLENCE WILL SCATTER.
11 BUT YOU HAVE RAISED MY HORN LIKE THAT OF A WILD OX (Literally from the Hebrew 'like that of a "raem,"' i.e. a unicorn, see Brit-Am article on the subject. So too, in this verse the Hebrew word for "horn" is in the singular); TO SOAK ME WITH FRESH OIL.
12 MY EYE HAS GAZED UPON THOSE WHO STARE AT ME [WITH ENVY]; WHEN EVILDOERS RISE UP AGAINST ME, MY EARS HEAR [THEM].
13 THE RIGHTEOUS ONE FLOURISHES LIKE THE PALM; AS A CEDAR IN LEBANON HE GROWS.
14 PLANTED IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, IN THE COURTS OF OUR GOD THEY WILL FLOURISH.
15 THEY WILL YET GROW IN OLD AGE; FAT AND FRESH WILL THEY BE.
16 TO DECLARE THAT THE LORD IS UPRIGHT, MY ROCK IN WHOM THERE IS NO INJUSTICE.
