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.

Ben Ariel: diplomats meet Iranian counterparts, demand the release of Americans being detained in Iran, including Robert Levinson.
March 9, 2017 
FROM THE WIFE, CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN OF ROBERT LEVINSON, AMERICA’S LONGEST-HELD HOSTAGE IN HISTORY - 
When is enough enough? It has been 10 years since Robert Levinson, our amazing husband, father and grandfather, was arrested on Kish Island, Iran, and imprisoned. For 10 years the government of Iran has been allowed to dodge and weave every time it was asked to come clean about what happened to Bob and send him home. Where is the outrage of this treatment of an American citizen? For 10 years, over and over and over again, two U.S. Presidents abandoned him, a lifelong public servant. Even Bob’s government co-workers and their bosses – they know who they are – ran away when he disappeared, to their lasting shame. Ten years is beyond enough. How much more agony must he withstand? It is time to get Bob Levinson home to his family. And, to Bob, Dad and Grandpa Bob: Stay strong! We know you are alive and trying to come home to us. We love you more than ever. We miss you every hour of the day. We will never, never, ever give up looking for you.

Chad Ashby: Judas is usually depicted in iconography as a redhead. Christian artists saw Judas as fulfilling/recapitulating the archetype of the rejected seed seen in the story of Jacob and Esau. Judas is a kind of Esau of the New Testament–who was famously a redhead.

Dov Bar Leib: The War between Edom and Persia will commence in Yemen.

DOV BAR-LEIB: Binyamin ben Rachel can only partially defeat Amaleq, never quite destroying him at his root. Only Yosef, who Rav Kessin calls a Chetzi Av, a Half Patriarch, and Ephraim ben Yosef veOsnat can defeat Amaleq at his root in the world. The koach to do this seems to at least in part from Yosef and his descendants being impervious to the Evil Eye. He alone can "stare down Esav whose eyes are Amaleq", and win.

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.

THE IRON WALL

A photo posted by Omid Nazari (@omidnazari) on
זאב ז'בוטינסקי: The Zionists want only One Thing: Jewish immigration; and we are ~ all of us without any exception ~ demanding, day after day, that this outside Power should carry out this task vigorously and with determination. In this matter, there is no difference between our "militarists" and our "vegetarians." We all demand that there should be an iron wall. We hold that Zionism is moral and just and since it is moral and just, justice must be done, no matter whether Joseph or Simon or Ivan or Achmet agree with it or not. Justice that is enforced does not cease to be justice.

Yair Davidiy: The Land of Israel stretches from the western confluences of the Nile Delta, encompasses all Sinai, part of Northern Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, parts of Iraq, southeast Turkey, the island of Cyprus, and reaches along the Euphrates River and beyond.

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.
