AVI BINUR: MERCY GATE בָּרוּךְ הַשֵׁם


Reb Aharon Rubin: The sword was only placed after their expulsion from the Garden, not immedi­ately af­ter the sin. There appears to be a time-lapse between sin and the consequential ‘closing of doors,’ as the effect of the sin substantiates.

Rabbi David Katz: There are a lot of souls that function as kruvim.

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.
