MICHAEL FREUND: Ezekiel is commanded by God to take two sticks. On one, he is to write "For Judah," and on the other "For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim." Then comes the crucial instruction: "Bring them together into one stick so that they become one in your hand" (37:17). Ezekiel's vision is not one of uniformity. The two sticks do not cease to be what they are. Judah remains Judah; Joseph remains Joseph. Unity does not erase difference – it sanctifies and elevates it by placing it within a larger shared destiny.

Ketriel Blad: In other words, in order for a total restoration to take place, the restored Ephraimites from among the nations will have to become Jewish, in the legal sense of the word, thus accepting the Jewish authorities and becoming obedient to Jewish halachah. In the prophecy of Ezekiel 37:19 the Hebrew text can be understood as HaShem giving Yehuda's stick the function of being over Ephraim's stick and this way both sticks will become one. This teaches us that the Ephraimite movement that comes from heaven cannot rise apart from the Jewish people without submission to the Jewish leaders' authority. This is not for all the gentiles.

Bryan Matthew Sevilla: i am an asshole. in case you didn’t know allow me to assure you, i am a total asshole. i am also a neurotic jew. i am also a perfectionist. i also am really only competitive with myself. this means i don’t really pay much attention or care what others are doing or think (i believe the scientific term is "don’t give a fuck"). what i do is whatever the fuck i want then always try to do even better and cooler stuff. basically i always strive to do better than i have done before. i was shooting a scene for jamesdeen.com and my 1st ac messed up the focus on the shot. the next take he did it again. clearly the only solution was to force him to hold my hand and do it all myself for the rest of the shot. i would have done it all day but i did need his assistance and he is actually really good at his job.

Matt Wanderman: Homeless Islamic Sobuj Khalifa from Bangladesh saved the life of an Israeli woman believed to have been trying to commit suicide by jumping from a bridge into the polluted Tiber River. Italian authorities gave the Khalifa a permit to remain and work in the country. As an expression of thanks, Roma’s Jewish community is trying to find him a home and a job. 
He has been surviving by selling roses to restaurant patrons and umbrellas to passers-by.
Bring Matt Carapiet Home: It is with great sadness that we can confirm that Matt passed away in the earthquake on April 25. 
Matt was a much-loved son, brother, grandson and nephew. He also had a caring group of friends, who all have precious memories of how kind, happy, creative and brilliant he was. He made a huge impression on the lives of everyone he met. 
Matt was touring Asia in a gap year before planning to continue his architecture studies in the autumn. He spoke to us regularly about how much he was enjoying his travels and we know he was doing something that he loved. He had been trekking in Nepal for two weeks before the earthquake. 
The family is very grateful to everyone who has prayed for Matt and who put so much effort into spreading his picture and helping us to find him. We would like to ask for privacy at this difficult time but we will post a tribute to Matt in the coming days.

Neil Asher Silberman, Israel Finkelstein, David Ussishkin, and Baruch Halpern: The Book of Joshua (12:21) specifically mentions the defeat of the king of Megiddo and the allotment of his territory to the tribe of Manasseh;

JACQUELINE SCHAALJE: Beit Shean is mentioned as belonging to the conquered area of the Israelite tribe of Manasseh

NETANYA MUNICIPALITY: thanks to the Lord for giving them {Netan~ya, lot. "gift of God"} the ability to continue the legacy of the 12 tribes who settled in the Land of Israel, and particularly of the half~tribe of Manasseh, which settled in the region.

Stephen Epstein: Some went down the Mekong River into Vietnam, the Philippines, Siam, Thailand and Malaysia, while some of the Israelites moved to Burma and west to India.
