ELLEN MADY: I’m choosing to focus on Anna the Prophetess in a particular way. In a time when our own Church is deeply feeling the pain of division, misunderstanding and confusion, she is a reminder to us that hope, healing and reconciliation are possible.

ELIZA BLANK: My father is from Great Neck. My grandmother, is from Far Rockaway. She’s 93. My grandfather is from Bensonhurst. That’s the Jewish side of my family. My mother is from the Philippines, as are her parents. My mother came over when she was in her early twenties on a nurse exchange program. She had no intention of staying, so she went back home, but then she did a second tour inspired by a friend who signed her up for a program in Brooklyn. My parents met at Downstate Hospital in Brooklyn and they still think New York is super dangerous. It’s just me and my brother. That’s my family. My mother converted. Somewhere along the way, it was spoken that it was important. She grew up Catholic, but I don’t think it was ever something she felt very passionate about. She was happy to convert. I think there’s a very special bond between Asians and Jews as it is, religion aside.


ELIZA BLANK: I was 21 when I met Steve, so we’ve been together my entire adult life. It just feels natural to me. I know who’s going to take care of me when I get old, and I don’t have to worry about Tinder. When Steve and I met, I didn’t even have a text plan. I had a flip phone. He actually called me. It was back in the day when you’d be on the phone with someone and you’d talk for an hour, which was so fantastic. I don’t think anything about marriage has totally surprised me. We knew that we wanted the same things and had the same values and, interestingly enough, he has the same background where his father is Jewish and his mother converted. Everybody I know is like that. It’s been nice because Steve does identify with the same level of Judaism that I do. We didn’t have a rabbi marry us, but we signed a ketubah, which was very modern and contemporary and not traditional at all. We plan to raise our kids Jewish.

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.
