AVI BINUR: MERCY GATE בָּרוּךְ הַשֵׁם



The Jewish community welcomes a wonderful new young adult. Our family is overjoyed! Proud of you Han! The presence of Jews in the Philippines, as I learned from my cousin who became a bat mitzvah today, not only dates back to World War II when the Philippines was one of the few countries accepting exiled Jews from Europe as refugees prior to the Japanese occupation of the country. We Filipinos have been accepting Jews as refugees even during the Spanish Inquisition (albeit clandestinely as we too were under Spanish occupation in that era). We Filipinos have, my cousin taught me, had a long and special relationship with the Jews, which is easily why my own family has Filipino Jews and which I think is what makes us Filipino: in spite of being a Catholic country, one thing that always matters more is friendship and family. 💕💕💕 #FilipinoJew #MazeLTov #BatMitzvah

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.
