"The Convert shall join Israel and be attached to the House of Jacob" (Isaiah 14:1).

I think, what's Genius about Anna of the tribe of Asher was that she did not need to utter any prophecy about the Child Jesus, like Simeon. Her faith was largely intuitive.



LUIS ANTONIO GOKIM TAGLE: We hope we could also be like Simeon and Anna, always looking forward to seeing God’s salvation.






"Ashes are symbolic, but what do you do with them? Ashes are somewhat unique because they do not constitute a body that would need to be buried in a halachic sense. There is no longer the 'chiuv' — the obligation — to bury it because it is no longer recognizable. If a body is burned completely, the ashes are considered to be something that there is not an obligation to bury, but the bottom line is that although there might not be a chiuv to bury, burial nonetheless is the opinion of most of the rabbis who write about it, both for 'kavod hamet' — honoring the dead — and also honoring the living. That included parts of the human body — skin for lampshades, soap made out of bodies. You bury them, out of respect for the martyrs of the Shoah, to indicate that their remains will be included in 'techiyas hameisim,' the resurrection of the dead and World to Come, when one day, we will meet our loved ones again."

ST. PAULS: Anna does not utter any prophecy about the Child Jesus, like Simeon. She just thanks God for the Child. She also speaks about Him to her fellow Jews who, like her, await the redemption of Israel. As a prophetess, she evangelizes.
RUTH ADAR: There is a blessing for the sight of a volcanic eruption: 
"Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech haOlam, sheh-ko-KHO ug-vu-rah-TOH mah-LAY oh-LAHM. 
Blessed are You, Eternal our God, Ruler of All-that-is, whose strength and power fill the world."

MENDEL KAPLAN: Since Asher means "Reward"; since Asher was the most "Fortunate" of all of his brothers that's why he's the last one to be blessed. 
MENDEL KAPLAN: Someday, Asher will be very populous,,, 
MENDEL KAPLAN: ,,,All of the tribes would bless Asher. Asher would be like, somehow, the Popular One. Everybody would like Asher. Everybody would go out of their way to try to curry favor with Asher. 
MENDEL KAPLAN: Asher is the only one who, actually, has the word "Blessing,,," Only when it comes to Asher do we have the word "Baruch." 
MENDEL KAPLAN: Nobody begrudged Asher. In fact, they loved Asher. Asher was, somehow, always Popular,,, 
MENDEL KAPLAN: Asher had an easy life. He didn't have to work too hard. Things grew well. He always had delicacies for everybody, and as such, his needs were looked after. 
MENDEL KAPLAN: Asher's Daughters were the most Beautiful of all of Israel. The Kings would seek out to marry the Daughters of Asher. The Kohen Gadol who was anointed with oil, as well as the King who was anointed with oil, sought to marry the Daughters of Asher, so, now, we some idea of Asher's Wealth: far more important than his wonderful oil or the beautiful produce, Asher had very, very beautiful children.
MENDEL KAPLAN: The territory of Asher was outstanding with an abundance of oil,,,
MENDEL KAPLAN: Only the tribe of Asher responds. 
MENDEL KAPLAN: Scripture you're not supposed to memorize. Scripture you're supposed to read. In fact, there are those who are careful not even to repeat verses by heart. Fundamentally~Speaking, it's even forbidden to memorize it because things which are supposed to be Written you're not supposed to commit it to memory. You have to memorize the ideas. It's all about the Concepts. Scripture shouldn't be committed to memory. I guess, the point that is being conveyed to us is that Asher and his oil are quite memorable and that has a lot to do with memory and a lot to do with being able to retain,,, Holiness,,, Torah ideas,,,

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.
