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.

Elevating the Indian Ceiling Fan

"Children of Edom, take a stick of wood from a Judas Tree and write on it, 'Belonging to Matthias and Paul associated with him.' Then take another stick of wood from an Olive Tree and write on it, 'Belonging to Joseph (that is, to Jesus) and all the Lost Tribal Sheep of Israelites associated with Him.' Criss~Cross them together into one Ceiling Fan, so that they will become one in your hand. When your Christian People ask you, 'Won't you tell us what you mean by this?' Tell them, 'Either the Light of Christ will never shine in you again or Christ's Spirit (that is, the East Wind) will gently guide you forever. Choose wisely'" (based on New International Version of Ezekiel 37:16-19, Revelation 18:23).



LAUREN DAGAN AMOSS: Modi's visit should be read through capability, not optics. The opportunity is real, but only if Israel moves from messaging to mechanisms, from transactions to systems, and from headline diplomacy to industrial and operational depth. But all of this should be kept discreet and disciplined.

Menachem Posner: And one more note: It is permitted to ask non-Jewish household help to wash the dishes on Shabbat. If they choose to use hot water and/or a sponge, that is their prerogative. Since the act of washing dishes itself is permitted, the methods they choose to employ is not our concern.

John: Perhaps the most notable change in the post-exilic period is the, "dissolution of the tribal unions," and the growth in importance of, "individual families (father's houses)….After the exile these are the foundations of the new community. If previously the elders owed their authority to the position which they occupied in the clans and tribes, this is now based on the special position of their families within the people itself." (Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, pg. 658)
