1. Question to Yair: Why do Jews not acknowledge the LTTs?
Yair. You said that according to Rashi the LTTs are in France.
Why do Jews not acknowledge this?
Why do Jews not agree with the sources you quote sayig the LTTs are among Western Peoples?
Brit-Am Reply:
I fear we may have miswittingly misled you in some way.
The Jews do not deny that Rashi said what we say he said. They have the relevant books available to them in them or in the local synagogue.
And they can read the Hebrew as well as I.
They probably have not done so since in their studies they more often concentrate on other things.
Rashi was a very important scholar and highly revered.
First of all what did Rashi say?
See:
Commentary on the book of OBADIAH
by Yair Davidiy
https://britam.org/obadiah.html
Rashi (Rabbi Solomon ben Isaac, 1040 1105, Champagne, France):
"The first exile of the children of Israel who were exiled from the Ten Tribes to the land of Canaanites unto Zarephath...The exegetes say that Zarephath means the Kingdom called `France' in common language.."
i.e. Rashi says that the Lost Ten Tribes are in France!
Iben Ezra, Abraham (1092-1167, Spain):
" `..from the Canaanites': We have heard from great men that the land of Allemagne [i.e.Germany] are the Canaanites who fled from before the children of Israel when they came into the land. So too, Zeraphath means France...",
Ramban (Nachmanides, Rabbi Mosheh ben Nachman, 1194-1270, Spain; from "The Book of Redemption", chapter 1.):
"The vision of Obadiah ..the house of Joseph refers to the Ten Tribes ...who were exiled and still are in their place of exile, the exile of Zarephath and Canaan which are in the farthest north..."
Don Isaac ben Yehudah Abarbanel (1437 1508, Spain) has a somewhat different explanation than the others. On some points his commentary is worthy of consideration in the light of the above:
"Zeraphath is France and so too the exile of Sepharad is Spain..and let you not err just because Zeraphath [i.e. France] is spoken of and Angleterre [i.e. England] is not recalled, for there too did the exiles go, for lo and behold, that island is considered a part of Zarephath and in the beginning belonged to it and in their ancient books they call it the Isle of Zarephath [i.e. of France] even though it later separated itself from Zarephath [France] and became a kingdom in its own right.
"....And maybe the intention is too to those Children of Israel who completely left Religion due to the weight of troubles and persecutions and they remain in France and in Spain in their thousands and tens of thousands, huge communities. They shall return and request the LORD their God.." (Abarbanel on Obadiah).
Getting back to Rashi.
Rashi says here that the Lost Ten Tribes came to Zaphath meaning France.
Elsewhere he says that Zaraphath is France which he describes as a kingdom belonging to Edom.
There is not necessarily any contradiction here since Zaraphath meaning France may belong to Edom but have elements from the Lost Ten Tribes within it .
Or vice versa.
As for the Jews:
Since the peoples we identify as LTTs dont keep the Jewish Religion nor on the whole want to it does not make that much difference.
We in Brit-Am think it is important because this knowledge may help citizens of the countries in question and also in the long run also help the Jews.
Most people however do not see it that way.

2. New Video Clip.
The Hebrew Ten Tribes in the West.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97uKAB9aSdU
Duration: 16.20
The Bible tells us that the Lost Ten Tribes are to now to be found among Western Nations. The English-speaking peoples represent the Tribes of Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh) and are especially important in Biblical Prophecy.

3. New Video Clip.
The Separate Emergence of Judah and Israel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cYLixv2XIo
Duration: 12.20
The term "Israel" is applied to what became the Lost Ten Tribes when "Judah" and "Israel" are mentioned together. The Book of Ezekiel sometimes applied the term "Israel" to the Exiles of Judah. So too, it was prophesied that the future revived State of Judah would be called "Israel" (Isaiah 48:1) as it is today. Despite this, usually in Prophecy "Israel" means the Lost Ten Tribes. "Judah" means the Jews who primarily emerged from the Tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi. How and when did "Judah" and "Israel" become separate from each other?

4. New Video Clip.
The Bible says, "The Jews are Judah!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIfqdbEEuBg

The Bible proves that the Jewish people of today are the nation called "Judah" in Prophecy. See: Why The Jews Are Judah! https://hebrewnations.com/articles/je..

5. Question from Yair to those who believe:
Why is Yair not being supported more than he is?
Why are Brit-Am teachings not being propagated by others?
Why are followers of Yair not asking Jewish Rabbinical Public Advocates why they do not support Yair (i.e. Brit-Am)?
Why are some non-Jewish believers in Brit-Am teachings disregarding Rabbinical Understandings of Biblical Commandments?
For instance, why do some of them take what they understand to be the name of God in vain?

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.
We understand that whoever helps Brit-Am will be blessed from Heaven.
