Like all other discussion groups, we have our purposes and rules. The purpose of the discussion group list is to network with other returnees from the ten Tribes. The network is to help each other in learning how to return to the Torah and its Covenant. This is best done first in groups cyber groups and then in actual congregations. Shaar-Israel is aiming at establishing actual fellowships and congregations worldwide. Please stay tuned for developments in that regard.

Our main rule is to be respectful with all because we are all learning and unlearning the errors of our past. We ask all to be patient and gentle with all for that is how our Heavenly Father is with all His children. Please do not try to press us to join any church. We all came out of churches or are on the way out of churches. Please do not upload pictures and long articles and texts. They will overload the server limits and will not go through. Instead post a links to articles.
