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.

Batya Medad: I remember how twenty years ago after I had been injured how quickly the government put poles up by that bus stop, and now they're at it again.

Anonymous: They are Anusim, as are their kin in Yarden. 
I would expect Greater Israel to educate them on that, accordingly, rather than Instigate Conflict. 
I do not respect Unqualified, Inadequate, Vague, Political teachers, who are promptly Fired for Failing to be clear and concise 
If Sinai and Aza are integral to Israel, then teach them properly, regarding their background 
Don’t rely on Egypt to teach Israeli lessons; don’t entertain Doubt by neglecting responsibilities. 
If, indeed, the wei is narrow, then dress for the occasion, whatever that may be: driver, for example, or bodyguards 
What is a Baal Teshuvah from Aza? How would David shepherd Azaim? How would Moshe discipline them all?

Batya Medad: The other night at work I noticed an Arab family, parents and daughter taking lots of pictures when entering Rami Levy. By the time I got my camera ready, they were finishing, so I only got one blurred shot.

Later on they came into the shoe store where I was working and got so friendly, even took more photos. I'm probably in some of them. They seemed so happy to be there in Yafiz and Rami Levy, Sha'ar Binyamin. I honestly couldn't figure out why. They aren't the first Arabs I've seen taking selfies and photos of their family/group/friends in the stores and shopping center. But I've never seen such enthusiasm. 
Any guesses?

Anonymous: I reside in a town called Ramapo formerly known as Ramapoc. A neighbor named Rachel recently married. Her smile is even more severe. She hasn't changed her profile photo on Facebook featuring her mom and their Police Officer Friends. And her husband is bald, but harmless, I suppose. 
I don't know. I've bin thinking about selfies and how intrusive Paparazzi are with high profile Celebrities. The contrast isn't that wide a Gulf, but I lean toward selfies being more appropriate, although excessive selfies can border on Intoxication. So much focus on the ego can be Dangerous to the self, so to speak. 
I've bin experimenting on zero visibility and archiving what everybody else seems to be focused on. If I do take a selfie, it's of me on the screen of a discarded television monitor. I've photographed about two dozen in the last few years. They haven't been picked up and remain sitting on the yards of neighbors, even through winter seasons. I won't complain about the lack of sanitation workers though, unlike nearby Lebanon, I heard. 
That woman doesn't appear observant. The Police down south are very color-sensitive and have very sharp eye-coordination. If anything, they're harmless wolves that require stricter discipline. 
I'm old school: i loathed self-promotion 
American Youth are Obsessed with Selfies in Bathrooms, btw 
also, I expect an increase in orderly Parsim Aliyah, emphasis on the mundane bureaucratic aspects

She's married to an Israeli, now, and Mothering 
Spies aren't as blatant; arrogant, perhaps, but not intelligent to be photographing so openly. It's what tourists do. It's what gets journalists into trouble in Syria: 
I would expect so much enthusiasm from new townies, the further away from the City one travels 
i expect this blog to gain further, now that Iran has somehow gotten to be on the Dreidel Nations' Better side

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.
