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.

Keren Hayesod booth: Marites Gasataya, participant from the Philippines is eager to take an active role in Keren Hayesod work.

Marites Gasataya: We believe something spiritual is happening here in the Land and we want to be part of it. The convention has inspired me to love G-d more and help. I go back with a deeper understanding of what it is to love G-d’s people and what we have to do. We are ambassadors.

Yevgeny Satanovsky: I will hang, at least, Kolomoisky and Joseph Zissels.
Abraham Joshua Heschel: What manner of man is the prophet?
A student of philosophy who turns from the discourses of the great metaphysicians to the orations of the prophets may feel as if he were going from the realm of the sublime to an area of trivialities. Instead of dealing with the timeless issues of being and becoming, of definitions and demonstrations, he is thrown into orations about widows and orphans, about the corruption of judges and affairs of the marketplace.

Instead of showing us a way through the elegant mansions of the mind, the prophets take us to the slums. The world is a proud place, full of beauty, but the prophets are scandalized. They make much ado about paltry things, lavishing excessive language upon trifling subjects. Why such immoderate excitement? Why such intense indignation?  
Indeed, the sort of crimes and even the amount of delinquency that fill the prophets of Israel with dismay do not go beyond that which we regard as normal, as typical ingredients of social dynamics. To us, a single act of injustice— cheating in business, exploitation of the poor— is a slight; to the prophets, a disaster. To us, injustice is injurious to the welfare of the people; to the prophets, it is a deathblow to existence: to us, an episode, to them, a threat to the world. The prophet’s words are outbursts of violent emotions. His rebuke is harsh and relentless. But if such deep sensitivity to evil is to be called hysterical, what name should be given to the abysmal indifference to evil, which the prophet bewails? 
The prophet is a man who feels fiercely. God has thrust a burden upon his soul, and he is stunned at man’s fierce greed. Prophecy is the voice that God has lent to the silent agony. It is a form of living, a crossing point of God and man. God is raging in the prophet’s words.

When Elijah prayed
You sent fire and charged him
To care
For widows and orphans.

What I got was asylum.
I got angry,
Despised mi Roots, so?
We became orphaned.

In every generation
Since the Temples’ destruction
Prophets Go, for broke.
They just don’t get
— What we deserve.

On behalf of Rain
(Our perpetual pup)
We will cease.

For Matthue Roth and Naftali Yawitz: Rabbi Yehuda Berg say, “for in You, by Whom the orphan is granted mercy…that one time that homeless person we come across will be the hidden righteous person.” (Hoshea 14:4)

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.
