Members will receive a Certificate of Membership.

Members will have the right to participate in decision making at meetings or via communication.

Members will be encouraged to associate with other Members especially those of their own regions. Regional branches with autonomous status will be established for the sake of Members.

Note from Yair:

We wish make this organization work. We believe that only good can come from this. We must also face reality. For better or for worse under prevailing circumstances we need to ensure a constant flow of information via Biblical and Historical Research. We also must set up an apparatus to enable the fellowship of members.

Situation at Present: Brit-Am has some debts but not large ones from a business point of view.

We also have some assets such as an old computer that still works, a supply of books, an ongoing magazine, etc. We have a list of subscribers who quality wise are very valuable to us, a handful of supporters in Jerusalem who often go well out of their way to help us, much good will in other quarters, etc. We possess the Framework of an enterprise and organization that has membership and is working. We have other assets of potential great value that could in the future enable Brit-Am to improve qualitatively and also expand greatly.

At the moment we need funds to function more effectively on a day to day basis.

Below are the conclusions of recent meetings held by Brit-Am in Jerusalem:

Declaration of Principles and Constitution: Rough Outline Principles of Brit-Am Identity:

1. Belief in Biblical Prophecy: This principle is open to interpretation. We are not laying down any iron-cast rules on the subject. We are not saying that our interpretations of prophecy have to be accepted. We simply require recognition in principle of Biblical Prophecy.

2. No self-hatred. Refusal to countenance hatred or unfair attitudes towards Israelite entities. No anti-Jewishness, no hatred of America, no hatred of Britain, etc.

3. The Lost Ten Tribes are today found mainly amongst "Gentile" peoples especially those in parts of Western Europe and their descendants overseas.

4. Many descendants of Israelites and Jews are also to be found scattered throughout the world. Brit-Am is open to these people and we categorize them (for want of a better term) under the heading of "Captive Jews".

Aims: Propagation, Research, Fellowship.
The aim of the organization is to spread knowledge of Brit-Am Identity (Propagation), as well as encourage further research etc and ALSO to enable association of those who believe in it, i.e. Fellowship.

The Organization (referred to as "Brit-Am") will be headed by Yair Davidi. The headquarters will be in Jerusalem. These two points are functionally necessary at present since the Organization is just getting on its feet.

There will be a Board of Directors comprising 7 to 13 members. The Board of Directors will also comprise itself in Israel as a legal non-profit organization. This will exist alongside of Brit-Am and be delegated responsibilities after discussion. As time goes on it is expected that the importance of this non-profit organization will grow in accordance with its competence.

There will be a sub-committee comprising 4 or 5 members of the Board. This committee will be responsible for Brit-Am in areas outside of Israel and North America.

Another sub-committee will be formed to provide a touring service on behalf of Brit-Am.

YAIR DAVIDY AND BRIT-AM

BRIT-AM is an ORTHODOX JEWISH Organization

#1) Do Orthodox Jews believe in Replacement theology? NO
#2) Do Orthodox Jews believe in Christian British Israelism? NO

"Brit-Am Israel". (Brit = Covenant, Am = People in Hebrew)

"Brit-Am Israel" at present is headed by Yair Davidy and by Rabbi Abraham Feld.

The address of "Brit-Am Israel" is Yair Davidy, "Brit-Am Israel", P.O.B. 595, Jerusalem 91004, Israel.

The e-mail is : britam@netvision.net.il

"BRIT-AM ISRAEL" BELIEVES:

* The Hebrew Bible is the message of God.

* Out of the original 12 Tribes of Israel Ten were lost. Two remained. The present-day Jews are descended mainly from the two remaining Tribes of Judah and Benjamin.

* The Khazars were a Kingdom in southern Russia many of whose leaders converted to Judaism. The Khazars were descended from the Lost Ten Tribes. The Khazars were blood-relatives of the Picts who went to Scotland, and of the Anglo-Saxons, and of peoples in Scandinavia.

* In addition to the Khazars, many other converts to Judaism through the ages were descended from assimilated Jews or from members of the Lost Ten Tribes.

* Most of the Lost Ten Tribes migrated to Northwest and Western Europe and their descendants are now in those areas or in North America, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.

* We do not claim that all residents of the said nations are descended from Israel. We do however affirm that most descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes are residents of those nations. On the whole they are unaware of their Israelite Identity. Even so in the course of history the Israelite origins of peoples in those areas have influenced national developments and national characteristics.

* The Tribe of Joseph was divided into two other Tribes: Ephraim and Menasseh. People from ALL of the Israelite Tribes congregated in North America but in general the U.S.A. is dominated by Menasseh. Britain has characteristics of Ephraim.

* Reuben was important in France, Issachar in Switzerland, Benjamin in Belgium, Zebulon in Holland, Dan in Denmark, Naphtali in Norway, Gad in Sweden, the country of Finland was influenced by the Tribes of Simeon, Issachar, and Gad; Simeon, Dan, and Ephraim were important in Ireland.

* There is a need for the present-day "Jews" of Judah and the Lost Ten Tribes to recognize each other, and to work towards re-unification and reconciliation.

* Proof exists confirming "Brit-Am Israel" Identity beliefs. Some of the evidence has been presented in works by Yair Davidy such as "The Tribes" (1993), "Ephraim" (1995), and "Lost Israelite Identity" (1996), as well as in articles in our journal "Tribesman". Much additional evidence is available and needs to be uncovered and published. Our sources include the Bible, Talmud, Midrashim, Commentators, Classical Greek and Roman historians, Chroniclers, Legends, Linguistics, Archaeology, and where pertinent racial and other scientific studies.

* Even though much of the evidence has been revealed by ourselves it is not ours alone. Our proofs have never been properly refuted. The basic claims we have made are irrefutable. If one cannot deny our claims and there is nobody else who can it follows that one should accept them. This means that the identity of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel with western peoples should be acknowledged. Once this acknowledgment is forthcoming it is possible to discuss whatever practical conclusions need to be made.

NOTE FROM EDDIE:

FYI: Yair Davidy is an ORTHODOX JEW. He does NOT believe in:

#1) Replacement theology
#2) Christian British Israelism

Yair Davidy / Brit-Am / Orthodox Jews DO believe in:

#1) The Restoration of BOTH houses of Israel in the future (the Messianic redemption or the Ingathering of the Exiles) (Ezekiel 37:15-28) when the house of Israel (The Ten Lost Tribes) join themselves to / with the house of Judah in the end of days.

Recently, I ordered from Brit-Am and read the first three issues of the MAGAZINE BRIT-AM. The articles and the information in the magazine was OUTSTANDING.

It is VITAL in these days in which we live to understand that the belief in the restoration of both houses of Israel / Messianic Redemption / Ingathering of the Exiles and the reuniting of Ephraim (Ten Lost Tribes) with Judah and Ephraim returning to Torah is a fundamental and foundational belief of Orthodox Judaism. It is one of the 13 articles of Jewish faith and a prayer for the Messianic Redemption / Restoration of both houses of Israel is prayed THREE times a day by Orthodox Jews.

I would HIGHLY recommend that our newsgroup members subscribe to the Brit-Am magazine to gain a greater understanding of Orthodox Jewish belief regarding this issue. In a recent edition of the magazine, Brit-Am stated that they have come to the conclusion that the primary religion of the Ten Lost Tribes today is Christianity.

Brit-Am declares that this information is VITAL to your understanding of the Bible and Hebraic Heritage Ministries Int'l agrees. Please consider obtaining the first 3 issues of the Brit-Am magazine and subscribing to future editions.

Yours for the restoration of both houses of Israel,

Eddie Chumney
Hebraic Heritage Ministries Int'l
