AVI BINUR: MERCY GATE בָּרוּךְ הַשֵׁם
Florence Enrile Mandus: This is our mixed family. My husband is a mixture of Russian Jew (not sure if that’s the correct term?) from his father’s side and Scottish American from his mother’s side.

Walang ligaya sa lupa na hindi dinilig ng luha.

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.
