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.

Marvin Tokayer; The Pathans are about 15 million people living mainly in Pakistan and Afghanistan as well as in Persia and India. They have a tradition of being of the Lost Tribes and have Israeli customs.

Ari Kahn: According to the Midrash, Yosef uses his most trusted confidant, his eldest son Menashe, to set the plot in action, to create the situation, relay messages and serve as his aide.

Ari Kahn: The Netziv suggested that the tribe of Menashe was not interested in staying outside Israel. Rather, Moshe asked them to do so because he knew that the other tribes would need Torah leadership. Menashe’s inheritance east of the Jordan was not allotted to them in response to their own request. Moshe initiated the move in an attempt to insure the integrity and continuity of the other two tribes.

Yair Barkai: Moses gave the half-tribe of Manasseh territory across the Jordan in order to be sure the Reubenites and Gadites would be prevented from breaking off from the rest of their brethren who inherited in the western part of the country; just as the goblet that Manasseh had placed in Benjamin’s sack, upon orders from his father Joseph, was intended to make sure the brothers were indeed completely united. In other words, the half-tribe of Manasseh served as the connecting link, joining the Israelite tribes on both sides of the Jordan.

VIETNAMESE SABRAS ON REFUGEES

SIMONA WEINGLASS: But when a community is so small, assimilation is almost inevitable. That’s why Begin’s absorption of a mere 360 Vietnamese refugees [out of a total of 2 million worldwide] may or may not be a test case for welcoming future asylum seekers.

S.O.S.

נשלחתי אל צאן האובדות של בית ישראל בלבד

Samaria doesn’t need to be saved. Judea doesn’t need to be saved. Jerusalem doesn’t need to be saved. Archipelagos don’t need to be saved. They don’t need to be saved because the Savior comes from them.

It’s Israel that needs to be saved;
The Church’s Debt to Heretics, Jones, 1924, pp. 15–16: What we may properly call "Galilean Christianity" had a short life, though there have been notable attempts to revive it and make it live again, and here and there spiritual prophets have insisted that anything else other than this simple Galilean religion is "heresy"; 
Roderick C. Meredith: Contrary to the heretical Protestant ideas that the Apostle Paul was used by God to "reinvent" Christianity, the real Apostle Paul of the Bible constantly showed deep respect for the original apostles and deferred to the leadership of Jerusalem in all major matters [Galatians 2:1–2]. 
Edward Gibbon: The first fifteen bishops of Jerusalem were all circumcised Jews; and the congregation over which they presided united the law of Moses with the doctrine of Christ. It was natural that the primitive tradition of a church which was founded only forty days after the death of Christ, and was governed almost as many years under the immediate inspection of his apostle, should be received as the standard of orthodoxy. The distant churches very frequently appealed to the authority of their venerable Parent.

Lazaro Nolasco: The guy didn’t have a shirt on.
i had my good things you had your bad 
my skin stayed sterile to the sores you had (Lord have mercy) 
i distracted my eyes so your Image wouldn't last 
I didn't hear the prophets cuz i was talking too fast 
Now my tongues dryin up like i'm the "rich man" 
Smell smoke start to choke it's approaching fast 
I'll come to Lazarus now before i can't pass (Lord have mercy on me a sinner) 
"it wasn't me" they said as the missiles sped at houses they fled while afghanistan bled 
"it wasn't me" i said as i sat well fed the newspaper read they've but grass for bread
And we eat ourselves to death.

וְיִשְׂרָאֵל אָהַב אֶת יוֹסֵף מִכָּל בָּנָיו כִּי בֶן זְקֻנִים הוּא לוֹ וְעָשָׂה לוֹ כְּתֹנֶת פַּסִּים
Jacob Siegel: Unlike many female characters in the Bible, Osnat has a name. Being identified by name humanizes her in the text.

Angela Standhartinger: Her name is no longer Asenath but "city of refuge." Her transformation is shown by new shining clothes (comp. 2 Enoch 22).
Joseph and Aseneth 1:8-9: And she was as tall as Sarah, and as beautiful as Rebecca, and as fair as Rachel; and this virgin’s name was Aseneth. And the fame of her beauty spread through all that land, even to its remotest corners;

IGOR KOTLERAt the end of the 15th or the beginning of the 16th century, Makhzor Minhag Kaffa [Prayer Book of the Kafa Custom] was created by Moshe ben Yaakov, incorporating the different traditions of the disparate Crimean Jewish communities [Ashkenazi, Persian, and Romaniot], thereby consolidated all Jews of the Crimean peninsula. In more recent centuries, Crimean Jews have followed Sephardi religious tradition. Hebrew is used for religious and community purposes. Russian language prevails.

Eurowalk

When I was young I was Achilles
It was excellence, honor, bravery, and blood,
All played out on the stage of the world.
Now I am Odysseus, a voyager, a traveler for travel's sake.
As if something was forgotten, I go East.
The star of the play now is the Earth itself,
Ireland to Istanbul.
In the beginning and at the end there was light.
The beauty of light finds a room in us.
What is it all but luminous?
Moishe New: Menasheh means, again, that a Jew doesn't forget where home is and ~ in case we've forgotten ~ we're being reminded of ET: we're, here; on a mission and we dare not forget that...

Mount Monashee

When I was small
I was River Phoenix
Memorizing My lines.

Now, I’m Kurt Cobain
Losing my voice.

From Seattle to Sunset Strip,
I descend.

In the beginning and the end,
There are titles and credits:

Death pawns our sword,
Where there’s no room

For Wise Men.

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.
