No, as far as I know, I am not a descendant of the House of Israel (but who knows? there were 10 lost tribes!). However, I am a child of God and a member of the Body of Christ, having joined in the New Covenant. My lineage does not matter with respect to my faith and belief in Jesus Christ.

Blaine writes: Rabbi means teacher, right? Thanks for the compliment. Since you asked about whether or not I am a child of Israel, I don't mind answering--it is actually one of my favorite subjects. (:>) The answer is . . . YES!! My lineage is of Ephraim, according to my Patriarchal Blessing. I share this lineage with many Native Americans. How about yourself?
