Orthodox Jewish historian and scholar Mr. Yair Davidiy may be one of the most effective diplomats between the Jewish people with the rest of the world, [the Noahide Community or potential Noahide Community?

Mr. Yair Davidiy is the leading proponent at this time of the idea that significant groups from the Lost Tribes of Israel may have migrated to Europe and even to the British Isles. From there they migrated, [or often were kidnapped or drafted and forced to go], all over the world.


Here is a link to an article by Mr. Yair Davidiy on where the Tribe of Dan may have partly migrated. One other obvious place where some groups from Dan migrated is to Ethiopia, where the Falasha Jews were airlifted from.

The Tribe of Dan
Taken from: "The Tribes"
by Yair Davidiy

Tribal Identification: Dan

Additional Notes pertinent to the identification of Dan will be found in the sections concerning Reuben, Judah, Naphtali, and Gad.
[Adapted from "The Tribes"]

<<And the sons of Dan; Hushim>> Genesis 46; 23. "Hushim" was also known as "Shuham".
<<These are the sons of Dan after their families: of Shuham, the family of the Shuhami. These are the families of Dan after their families>> Numbers 26; 42.

DAN WITH GAD AND NAPHTALI
Groups derived from Dan were historically somehow linked with the Gothic forces that descended mainly from Gad. Danites were also found together with the Nephtalites of Naphtali .

DAN AMONGST THE CELTS
DAN IN WALES, IRELAND, SCOTLAND, AND NORTHERN ENGLAND

In Biblical Times the Tribe of Dan had been divided into three (or more) different sections. One section had been in the northern Galilee (Joshua 19; 42) and neighbored Gad. Later part of this section moved with other Israelites to Scythia. The Damnae in Serica (east of Scythia), were also called "Dingling" and were linked to the "DANGALAI" whose name means "DAN-OF-GALILEE". They had been neighbors of the Goths (from Gad) of Gadrosia in Ancient Eastern Iran. The DAMNAE of Scythian Serica were named similarly to the DAMNONII of Scotland (who lived besides the northern River DON of Scotland) and the DAMNONES of DANNONIA which was the name given to Devon and Cornwall. DANNONIA in Britain was named after the Tribe of DAN. The Tribe of Dan was recalled in the Children of DON in Welsh legend and the Tribe of DANA ("Tuatha de Danaan:) who came to the British Isles (according to Irish tradition) from the Land of Israel via Greece and Scandinavia. The area Damnonia in southern Britain as well as being alternatively called Dannonia was also known as "Defenia". The name "DEFENIA" is similar to that of DAPHNIA which was the former place of DAN in the Galilee in the Land of Northern Israel. "Daphne" (i.e. "Defenia") is also a name associated by the Talmud with the Lost Ten Tribes.

In Scotland the Damnonii (of Dan) adjoined the Gadeni probably of Gad. Somewhat to the south (in Northern England) according to Ptolemy was the city of Danum which area was later to be occupied by Danes from Denmark. In this case we see the possibility of a group of Celtic culture descended from Dan who gave their name to the city of Danum being followed by Scandinavians who were also descended from Dan and settling in the same area. We have come across similar phenomenon several times in this study.

DAN AMONGST THE VIKINGS
Danes from Dan were recorded together with the Naphtali in Scythia. From Scythia the Danes (moving via Sweden) conquered Denmark. The Danes and the Norwegians formed the Vikings who invaded England. The Danes settled in the northeast of England and the Norwegians in the northwest. They also conquered and settled in Ireland and in parts of Scotland.

Historians' reviews of the historical record have not been able to determine why the Vikings built settlements in England. It was no small feat to build new communities and homes without a Home Advisor to consult so far away from the homeland. It is difficult to imagine today since relocating your family is relatively easy with Home Advisor Reviews of builders and most homes have been examined by a Home Advisor for safety.

THE SYMBOLS OF DAN STILL USED TODAY!
Danes from the Israelite Tribe of Dan invaded Denmark at about the same time as the Naphtali moved in large numbers into Norway. The Tribe of Dan was represented by a snake or by a lion. Other accepted symbols of Dan were a pair of scales, an eagle, and a dragon. Many members of Dan settled in Denmark, in Ireland, in Wales, England, and the U.S.A. where 40-50 million people have Irish ancestry. The symbol of a snake was once worshipped in Ireland; a lion represents Denmark and England, Wales has a dragon on its flag, and the U.S.A. has an eagle.

"HUSHIM" OR SHUHAM: THE SON OF DAN
The Son of DAN, "Hushim" (Genesis 46;23) was also called Shuham (Numbers 26;42). Hesse in north Germany represented Hushim. Shuham may be found in the "Suehani" who, according to Jordanes, were in Sweden like the Danes themselves are considered to have been. It is noticeable that quite oft

I studied on this a couple decades ago. Wasn't the tribe of Dan seafarer's?
Going the way of the West when they left Israel.

Yes!

And if I am not entirely incorrect in how I am taking ancient Jewish apocalyptic literature it seems like the "Cyrus Type" predicted in Isaiah chapter forty five could well have a mother from the tribe of Dan [or perhaps Naphtali]. Mr. Yair Davidiy does go into that idea in several of his books and articles.


[Yair Davidiy] :

The First Redeemer [MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH] fights against Amalek with total warfare…[he fights against the forces of anti-Semitism]. This was the task of Joshua ben Nun who was [a forerunner and ancestor of] the Messiah Son of Joseph. Aroused by Elijah “Kol HaTor” says [2.71] “Behold I will send you my prophet Elijah…and he will return the hearts of the fathers to their sons” (Malachi 4). One of the tasks of Elijah is to arouse the spirit of the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH. Comment:

[Malachi 4:5] BEHOLD, I WILL SEND YOU ELIJAH THE PROPHET BEFORE THE COMING OF THE GREAT AND DREADFUL DAY OF THE LORD: [Malachi 4:6] AND HE SHALL TURN THE HEART OF THE FATHERS TO THE CHILDREN, AND THE HEART OF THE CHILDREN TO THEIR FATHERS, LEST I COME AND SMITE THE EARTH WITH A CURSE.

We have noted elsewhere that one of the meanings of the verse in Malchi 4: of returning the hearts of the fathers to their sons, and the heart of the children to their fathers” is to make people aware of their Israelite Tribal Identity, to let people who are descended from the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel know who they are and who their tribal forefathers most likely were. This is what Brit-Am is doing. Help brit-Am. If you can help Brit-Am please do so. Causes Non-Israelite Nations to Repent “Kol HaTor” says [2.75] The Messiah Son of Joseph arouses not only Israel but also the Peoples of the World to Repent. Jonah the Prophet had the aspect of MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH in his generation. His task is, “to rebuke many nations” (Isaiah 2). Turns Defeat Into Victory “Kol HaTor” says [2.91] The characteristic of the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH is that out of tribulation he brings salvation. The Heavenly Ladder “Kol HaTor” says [2.97] A ladder on the ground and its head reaching to heaven (Genesis 28). This is an aspect of Joseph as is known. What happened to Jacob happened to Joseph. All of his deeds were an arousal from below with an accompanying assistance from heaven. Joseph was the son of Jacob and Rachel and had the characteristics of both Jacob and Rachel. Ingathers Exiles, Rebuilds Jerusalem, Settles the Wilderness “Kol HaTor” says [2.117] The rulership of Joseph overcomes all impurity.

The task of the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH is to remove the spirit of impurity from the Land through the ingathering of exiles, rebuilding Jerusalem, and the planting of the wilderness. Ransoming Captives “Kol HaTor” says [2.118] “And the ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion” (Isaiah 35;10): The task of ransoming captives belongs to the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH who performs it by ingathering the Exiles…The Major Ingathering of the Exiles cannot be less than 600,000…They will come with rejoicing and happiness. Comment: “Kol HaTor” says The Major Ingathering of Exiles cannot be less than 600,000. 600,000 was taken to be a key number. It is interesting to note that when Israel declared its Independence in 1948 the total Jewish population in the Land at that time was a bit more than 600,000 which was the key number mentioned by “Kol HaTor” about two hundred years beforehand. Reveals Secrets of the Torah “Kol HaTor” says [122] “And Pharoah called Joseph’s name Zaphenat Paneah” [i.e. Uncover of Secrets] (Genesis 41;45). One of the tasks of the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH in each generation is to reveal the secrets of the Torah. Horns of a Unicorn “Kol HaTor” says [131] “His horns are the horns of a unicorn with which he strikes the peoples” (Deuteronomy 33). The main task of the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH is the everlasting war against Amalek. Comment: The horns of a unicorn are linked with the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH. A unicorn is part of the symbol of Britain. Two unicorns appear on the Coat of Arms of Scotland. Many descendants of Joseph from Scotland migrated to North America. The main task of the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH is the everlasting war against Amalek. “Amalek” represents the forces of Anti-Semitism.

The fact is that Anti-Semites, as well as hating the Jews, are usually also the enemies of the British or the Americans. Even those people who hate Jews among the British and Americans are usually found after examination to hold doctrines and to do things that make them in effect the enemies of Britain and America.
The time has come for us all to understand that we are one people. Our enemies know this and so should we.
Dan Assists “Kol HaTor” says [150] The Prince of Dan will assist MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH. Comment: The prince of Dan represents the people of Dan. The descendants of Dan are to be found today mainly amongst the people of Denmark and amongst descendants of the Irish overseas. We Must Do Our Utmost “Kol HaTor” says [p.453] “We have to do our utmost for the sake of the union of the two Messiahs, MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH and MESSIAH SON OF DAVID, the stick of Joseph and the stick of Judah [that Ezekiel described as uniting]."





[Yair Davidiy] :

SAMSON was from the Tribe of Dan. Samson was an heroic saviour of superhuman strength given to him at moments of Divine inspiration.. He became the prototype for Hercules. In Greek Classical Mythology Hercules appears to frequently represent peregrinations of migrating Phoenicians and Israelites.

Here is something that I suspect could be about Moshiach ben Yosef or Messiah son of Joseph.

[Yair Davidiy[ :

Samson came from Dan and according to one source so will the mother of the future Messiah. Samson was like a prophet and one meaning of the word "Navi" i.e. prophet in Hebrew is connected with a word root (NBE) connoting "expression". Prophecy in the form of Samson took the form of superhuman strength and will power, of sheer effrontery, of courting the powers of the other side in order to take revenge from them, of individuality, and of guerrilla "partisan" type warfare. Samson used word-games and riddles. He has a sense of humor and personality. Even his enmies seem to feel it an honor to be undone by him. Samson does what other men cannot. Samson gives expression to the potentiality of Dan and Danites.​



A Jewish legend says that Dan left the Land of Israel before the other tribes since Dan did not want to participate with King Jeroboam in hostilities against Judah. Dan is a peace-maker amongst the tribes, an avoider of fraternal conflict yet definitely not weak or afraid. Dan is a doer of justice, and a litigator. Lawyers and judges and legally-minded types often come from Dan.​

Thank you for refreshing my memory on this. I'm an older woman and haven't been keeping up with my study's. As I read over your post it all comes back to me.:)

May I ask if you would identify yourself as "Jesish" or perhaps as "Messianic Jewish?"

If you identify as "Jewish" then I would encourage you to listen to former Atheist and near death experiencer Rabbi Alon Anava. I listened to more than four video's of his personal testimonies for Yom Kippur 2025!

If you identify as Messianic Jewish I would greatly encourage you to research near death experiencer Kevin L. Zadai Th. D. He had a brush with death in 1992, and since January of 2020 I have taken more than two hundred of his online Theology courses. Three of his courses are free of charge so you will know whether or not you like his teaching style before you pay for even one of his "degree credit" online theology courses.

I actually not sure, I just always liked history and much of my study was on American history then it went into the religious aspect of where we all originated and how do I find the correct was to know the Creator.
It is confusing I know.

Your progress is similar to my own. I read a theory about the possible migration of groups from the Lost Tribes of Israel to the British Isles as well as to the United States back during the 1970's. Orthodox Jewish historian and scholar Mr. Yair Davidiy does a brilliant job of expanding on this topic.
