AVI BINUR: MERCY GATE בָּרוּךְ הַשֵׁם

Introducing Mr. Ian Sarachan and Mrs. Rea (née Roxas) Sarachan


"Mazel tov!"
"Magandang Gabi and shalom to all!" ~ Rea's Father
"For Junior Prom, Rebecca and I tapped into our inner Yentas and advised Ian to ask Ria to the Big Dance. Sixteen-year-old Ian had no idea what he was getting himself into. May you be blessed with many healthy, happy, and, presumably, pocket-sized children."
"What I would say to you, Ian, is buckle your seatbelt. Buckle. Your. Seat. Belt. Because this beautiful-beautiful young lady is going to pull you out of your Comfort Zone Every. Single. Freakin'. Day." ~ Ian's Father
"Rea: you have found Ian, who is so passionate about you. I've never seen Ian more happy than he is when he is with you."

Walang ligaya sa lupa na hindi dinilig ng luha.

Filipino Proverb: There is no earthly bliss not watered by tears.

Bnei Lot are of an ancient origin. In the migratory tradition of Ruth begun more than two millennia ago, a remnant of David and Solomon migrated into Maritime Southeast Asia which comprises what is now Brunei, East Timor, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, The Philippines, and Singapore, as well as Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, with a sizeable minority of Malays migrating back to their tribal allotments in Sephardic Judah, besides Terrestrial and Figurative Jordan.
