Dear YAHAD of Vero Beach, elders and friends.  I wish I could be with you tonight, but I am still in the throes of severe pain, having been required to complete more corrective dental surgery today.  I hope to join you soon.  Please keep the faith.

The following topics are on my mind, which I have asked the Vero Mevaqqre to teach you so that you may know my mind and be fully involved in the various decisions that may in future affect your faith and life.  Yahweh be gracious to we who are Lost Israel.

ITEM: The YAHAD at Vero Beach: As to the statement of assets, tangible and intangible, of the YAHAD at Vero Beach located at Tabernacles Ministries. Seeing as the Yahad group of true worshipers in Vero Beach

1| has been meeting at least weekly since 2007 and

2| officially as a religious entity since March 13, 2009; and that

3| three consecutive pesach services have been provided plus  

4| services for some of the other feasts on a regular basis; and that

5| a significant number have in some manner been positively affected by the Yahad, with

6| not a few baptized in the divine name Yahshua-Yahweh such that

7| leaders (according to the Scriptural model) have been raised up,

8| proselytes from both agnosticism and Gnostic Christianity revealed,

9| all undeniably gaining ground in the quest of entire sanctification & Torah observance to the extent that

10| a regular meeting-place has been engaged and kept for nearly two years, in which are established

11| physical facilities (furniture) for live, small-group training, worship, and music

12| a specialty workshop of no little value (with a developing program centered around it),

13| a theological library consisting of books, audio-visual courses & an extensive digital archive

14| (the Yahad owns the copyrights of numerous of these works),

14| a portable (though rudimentary) audio-visual studio; and

15| an extensive digital presence on the World Wide Web,

we conclude that Yahweh has afforded us a great potential to take the Unique Yahad message to a larger venue, if the leadership so desires to take the opportunity.

ITEM: The YAHAD at Sebastian: During the counting of Omer 2010, we were afforded an opportunity by a local pastor to teach a six-week class on the subject of First Century Hebraic History and Christian Origins.  The venue was Sebastian, Florida.  Certain of the Yahad elders provided leadership and the ministry of presence while church members provided a suitable meeting environment.  This class eventually became either an extension of the Yahad at Vero Beach or a Yahad in its own right, meeting twice or more per week culminating in Pesach 2011.  During the months leading up to Pesach, the combined Yahadim created and edited a teaching itinerary for students seeking to learn more about the Ten Commandments and their praxis within the purvey of the Nazorean Faith. 

ITEM: The Proselytes  at Sebastian: (The YAHAD leadership) is in the process of a class for proselytes or interested Christians (though the Ten Commandments course mentioned before is not being used).  I would like you to consider our original plan, its duration (6 weeks), and its progress.  I had intended to attend these classes until being stricken with the present hindrances.  What are your thoughts?

ITEM: The Severance of Myself with ALL Prophets Proven False in the last year Pesach to Pesach:  I (Jackson) ask you to please read this carefully, searching your hearts as you do.  I have been considering whether to calling to expand the outreach of the Yahad movement is to me or someone else.  There are other, similar movements out there doing large evangelism projects.  But as I hear some of the works of these ministries trying to be explained by those within the Yahad under the influence of these ministries, I cannot help but perceive a spirit of division, a spirit of confusion, a spirit of false prophecy, a spirit of vainglory & a spirit of abaddon – that the earth is bound for destruction.  

I call upon those in the Yahad, who have benefitted from this movement and its teacher, and from the fellowship of optimism shared from meeting to meeting, to come out of these ministries fraught with evil spirits of contention and seek out instead to learn the truth of the Scripture as you have been taught in the last three years of your fellowship within the Yahad; and further, that you recognize those of the last year BY NAME AND TITLE who have blatantly and for financial gain prophesied the destruction of cities, the decimation of states, and the mass elimination of Ephrayim and/or Judah by sovereign acts of Elohim, and binding Yahweh to the occupation of mass murderer.  As I challenged those who looked forward to the predicted days of destruction with glee, and saw these day come and go with no such, that they repent for their own endeavors into the realm of the occult and once and for all time cut off their affiliation with such wolves in Israelites’ costumes, else leave off any further dealing with the Netzari Yahad movement.

ITEM: Change of Title: I call upon the baptized elders of the YAHAD at VERO, whether in good standing or past standing, to consider we modify what we call ourselves so that we might be cast in a more spiritual light.  Acts 20:28 tells us what the Nazorean groups should be called, and I interpret it to mean “The Netzari Yahad” or simply “The YAHAD’ followed by the common name of the area; i.e. Vero Beach – ‘THE YAHAD OF VERO BEACH.’  Should those of Sebastian vote to stay in fellowship with the elders of Vero, they would be known as, ‘THE YAHAD OF SEBASTIAN.’  Our next outreach will surely be south, to ‘THE YAHAD OF FORT PIERCE’ or ‘INDRIO’ of whatever.  As for our common names, i.e. Beit Suqqot, River Room, Skin Tent, Beit Teshua, these could also remain as less formal appellations, but the official name to be registered would be “THE YAHAD.” 

The word Yahad has within it the Sacred Name, the idea of echad, and the concept of “the other ones” or “the ones left over.”  There is an excellent study of the word in RAMYK’s The Rebirth of Yisraelite Marriage if you have that.  This way of speaking of the Yahad will need to be voted in by hand count of elders, which you may do or not whether I am present or not.

ITEM: Intangible Assets:  In conformation with the last couple items above, you should be very well aware that I have accumulated twenty-plus years of translations, theological statement papers, full length books, scientific / ethical essays, commentaries on theologians, philosophers, and historical movement, plus eye-opening commentaries on much of scripture, in canon or out, liturgies, litanies, prayers, acts of worship, poetry, recordings of rare texts, and orchestral music.  While some in the Yahad are desperately gleaning the works of false prophets, come-latelys, and heretics, here is GIG after GIG of clean and correct material on any subject one may think of.  Why must we, in our own Yahad, be subject to the calidrical nonsense of a couple fellows when the simplicity and cleanliness of that which is right is a search engine call away?  Why do you refer to a TV clown in a suit when you have a teacher with real academic degrees, real academic discoveries, and real credentials?  Would you use my material is I grew a beard and went on TV, or accumulated 1000 friends on Facebook?  I have kept myself clean from error for all these years – and from sin in the church – by accepting Scripture and rejecting TV and radio clowns and entertainers.  You should do the same.  When the whole wheat loaf is set out for you on the table, what sense is there digging out the trash can for a moldy barley loaf?
