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.

From SHOAL by Rosebud Ben-Oni

לכו עתה וזכרו שאני שולח אתכם כשלוח כבשים בין זאבים אל תיקחו אתכם כסף, חפצים אישיים ואף לא זוג נעליים נוסף ואל תעצרו בדרך לשוחח עם איש בכניסתכם לכל בית ברכו אותו תחילה לשלום אם באותו בית גר אדם אוהב שלום הברכה תתקיים, ואם אין הוא אוהב שלום באותו בית – הברכה תשוב אליכם בבואכם אל כפר או עיר אל תעברו מבית מארח אחד לאחר אלא התארחו בבית אחד בלבד ואל תהססו לאכול ולשתות כל מה שמגישים לכם כי הפועל ראוי לשכרו
You are in a windy Lower East Side square. 
Henry Street, arid and slow.
An elderly street without monuments.
Arched in inner city catheters
bending the sun. A contradiction but warm. 
Crackling in exhaust fumes.
Cracking like Rivera’s murals at the New School
where you write of the idolatry of the Wailing Wall
opaque and palpable. 
You cross Brooklyn bridge.
A river a summons a cemetery
a howl cut short,
barbwire overcast. 
Pages scattering from a mausoleum,
you fall out of its doorway, taken
as sacrament. Useless vandal.
Evicted tenant.
*You call yourself an Annex Jew— 
from the Frick’s untouchable pools
sinking down
an upright bass on the Bowery 
you and the pianist climb the terrace of Beatrice Inn 
you are lost among long tables of refugees
and folk hymns muffled on Allen Street 
Sabbath morning, coarse and whimsical
leaks its veil in Chinatown’s oils 
sober and lit without sleep
alone on a pier
the edge of Battery sharpens 
pampas along the surf howl and stretch 
here strikes your last prayer
a bruised howl in the wall
and oh, to sleep
to sleep through 
the brute of dawn

Diana Rivera: The first time I ever experienced a loss, was when I buried my brother, Johnny.

Diana Rivera: I'm going back to college

Diane Rivera: He told us that Johnny was dead. I ran to my room and cried with an anguish and pain I had never felt before. I lost my best friend, my role model, my hero. I screamed in agony over his death. I cried the tears of a little girl who felt lost and alone in the world, with parents who did not understand her. But it hadn’t sunk it yet. 
I walked in the room, and almost fell over from the tears and the grief. My big brother was gone. It all sunk in. The loss was almost unbearable. No more would he come in and ask me how school was and tell me to graduate and go to college. He was gone, and nothing I could do would ever bring him back.

לכן כאשר תראו בבית-המקדש את חילול הקודש שעליו דיבר דניאל הנביא (הקורא – שים לב!) על כל תושבי יהודה לברוח להרים אלה שעל הגגות – שלא ייכנסו הביתה לארוז את חפציהם אלה שבשדה – שלא יחזרו הביתה לקחת את בגדיהם

אוי לנשים ההרות ולמניקות באותם ימים התפללו שבריחתכם לא תהיה בחורף ולא בשבת
גַּבְרִיאֵל: וְהִגְבִּיר בְּרִית לָרַבִּים שָׁבוּעַ אֶחָד וַחֲצִי הַשָּׁבוּעַ יַשְׁבִּית | זֶבַח וּמִנְחָה וְעַל כְּנַף שִׁקּוּצִים מְשֹׁמֵם וְעַד כָּלָה וְנֶחֱרָצָה תִּתַּךְ עַל שׁוֹמֵם
