סיפור על אהבה וחושך‎


Ravid Netzach also known as Robert Bernardo: I feel that I have helped bridge relationships within the LGBT, the Filipino American and the Jewish communities.
j.: Ruthie Arbeiter and Joseph Caparas were married on Sunday, Aug. 2 at the Lake Natoma Inn in Folsom. Rabbi David Booth of Congregation Kol Emeth officiated at the wedding. The couple had a traditional Conservative Jewish ceremony, combined with Filipino customs to reflect the groom’s heritage. 
The couple met in 2008 during their freshman year at Stanford University. The bride works at Congregation Kol Emeth in Palo Alto, and the groom works in marketing and operations for a local startup. The newlyweds live in Mountain View, and the bride has changed her name to Ruthie Caparas.
KAGAWARAN NG PAGSASAKA: Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Proceso Alcala ordered the temporary ban on the importation of domesticated and wild birds and their products including poultry meat, day-old chicks, eggs and semen from Haifa, Israel.
JTG (Misalyn): A Filipino and an Egyptian service crew members of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) at Al Ain Mall. 
Kuwait Food Company-Sharjah is the Emirates branch of the Americana Group that deals with the operation of the international franchises like Hardee’s, TGIF’s, Krispy Kreme, KFC and Pizza Hut.
Миноборонпром: The parties agreed to continue the practice of inviting Egyptian military to Russian exercises ~ in the capacity of observers ~ and, also, to hold a naval exercise, in the Mediterranean, this year, and an anti-terrorist exercise of rapid reaction forces.

Vicente B. Avanzado Jr.: Upon arrival at the airport in Ulan-ude, I was greeted by a smiling Russian- “Hello, Vicente”, I immediately recognized him from the Facebook pics and in a second, all my apprehensions were gone. “I’m so happy to see you Petr”, I said. He introduced me to his companion and fellow teacher, Anatoly, who was very quiet at first. Most Russians I know, especially tourists in our city in the Philippines are stoic and not too friendly. “Smiling is a sign of weakness for us. Initiative is punishable”, he quipped. What a difference from our part of the world, where smiling is a natural gesture and shows respect and hospitality. But this is their culture and character - it is who they are.

A Trip to Manila Paves the Way Home

||eBook Description: "Attention ladies and gentlemen: the Captain has switched off the No Smoking sign. Keep your seat belts lightly fastened, order a double bourbon on the rocks, kick back and get comfortable. We are in for a long strange flight through the streets of Boston and Philadelphia, Philippine tribal villages, lush tropical islands, a storybook kingdom, and the State of Israel.
In this collection of curious short stories and odd little essays, C. L. Hoffman introduces us to a colorful array of ""square pegs"" and social desperados, kibitzers, criers, wild men and wise guys. Hoffman describes each of these types with rare insight and empathy, proving once again that it takes one to know one.
Most of the sketches about life in today's Israel, to be found in the second half of the book, have been published previously in the Jerusalem Post."||

 
Carl Hoffman: After I had wandered around Manila's business district for more than an hour, a small, squat, gray building adorned with a large iron menorah and topped with a golden dome loomed sharply into view. Cleverly camouflaged amidst the gleaming office towers and five-star hotels, set behind a tall wrought-iron gate and protected by uniformed Filipino security guards, the Philippines' one and only synagogue stood shockingly before me. Later, at the lavishly catered kiddush, a pale, bespectacled and very young man in a black velvet kippa introduced himself to me as the Rabbi (The Rabbi! I gawked. In the middle of Manila!) and asked if this was my first visit to the shul. 
"It's my first visit to any shul in more than thirty years," I said to him. 
He smiled, shook my hand, and said, "Welcome home."

Those in the Generation of Mashiah have the same souls as those in the Generation of the Flood. ~ Rav Tzadok Hakohen of Lublin

“On Noah he just had incredible technical abilities and the type of things we pulled off, I think there’s very few people on the planet that could have done what he can do. There were nights when we had six huge cranes — the type you build skyrises with — holding up giant rigs of lights and rain rigs and the complication and sophistication of the equipment is just so technically difficult that very few people could have done that. So there are those skills, but he also has the tenderness and sensitivity to look at a performance and see how he can help it.” ~ Darren Aronofsky offers just a few details on his latest collaboration with cinematographer Matthew Libatique (who he previously worked with on Pi, Requiem For A Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler and Black Swan), praising his work on Noah.

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.
