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.

Avner Boskey: Peace is not about to break out in the Middle East. From Egypt to Assyria and from Morocco to Malaysia, the heart attitude among Islamic and Arab states toward the Jewish people and their State will not be easily resolved, apart from decisive events [including revival and military defeats]. There will be significant hostilities and open war on the highway of the Middle East, before there will be a highway of peace, salvation, and worship.

A photo posted by Omid D.L Nazari (@omidnazari) on
Berel Wein adapted by Yaakov Astor: In a remarkably short period of time, the mighty empire of Babylon was toppled and taken over by invading hordes of Persians and Medes. All that had been Babylonian now became absorbed into the Persian Empire, which at its height included 127 countries stretching from Afghanistan and India in the east to southern Ethiopia and the sub-Sahara continent in the west.


JEWISH VIRTUAL LIBRARY: In the biblical passage enumerating Noah’s sons, Madai, the progenitor of the Medes, like those of other Indo-Iranian peoples, is included among the sons of Japheth [Gen. 10:2].

Seeing as it Is by Ocean Vuong

In the hospital room’s white
indifference, a small girl waits
while gloved hands unravel layers
of gauze from her eyes.
She will see for the first time
the objects we’ve limited
through naming. The gauze falls,
light enters her pupils, diffracts
like ribbons falling
in an empty room.
She steps to the window
where a city sparkles a million
reflections of sunlight. And there,
against the morning skyline,
a plane veers, smashes into
that great tower. Without a sound,
a breath of fire spews
into immaculate blue.
A slow river of smoke
flows across the sky.
She imagines that this
is the image of music
as she presses her nose to the glass
and says without blinking Mommy,
you were right. This world
is beautiful.

Mendel Kaplan: When Moshiach will come, we will find a Lot of Lost Jews.
Mendel Kaplan: There are groups of People living in the World who seem to have Jewish ancestry. It’s true; it’s true. The largest group of such People lives in a little known country called Afghanistan and they are known as the Pathans. The Pathans are very strange People because they do not fit into any box. They don’t fit into any typical Society. First of all, they’re self-reliant. They’re fierce warriors, but they do a Lot of things differently. For example, the Pathans circumcize their sons at 8 days old. Nobody does that but the Jews. The Pathans have cities of refuge or what we call orei miklat which the Torah talks about. The Pathans observe that till this very day. The Pathans wear some very strange garments ~ four-cornered garments with lines on them ~ which means they comes from the 2nd Temple period; many of them have fringes. They look a Lot like our Tallitot. And there are other weird things. The Pathans light candles on Friday Night. The Afghani Royal family claims Jewish ancestry. I think, the Pathans probably have some Jewish ancestry. I think, the Pathans do descend from Jews at some point.

Arthur Segal: The exiled Afghan Royals say they are from the Hebrew tribe of Benjamin.

Marcel Cousineau: Years ago when the US Military seized and burned a shipment of bibles that US soldiers imported into Afghanistan which were meant to free the Afghan people I knew that the war was lost just as America was lost and doomed to fail and collapse. That’s why America is hopelessly doomed. It’s that simple! At this late hour of world empire collapse there are more proud fools and useful idiots in deep denial as they walk off the cliff with their CRUMBLING American idol, all placed on them by their false god, America Babylon. After all of this, any Israeli who looks to America for peace instead of God has to be an idiot.

Замир Набиевич Кабулов: Assessing the results of the actions of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, it can be said that they have completely failed their mission.

Devash: Anyone who thinks the American elections are anything more than a circus show is out of touch with reality. It’s all a show to pacify the masses until the noose is ready to be drawn tight.

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.
