Cecile Guidote-Alvarez: How long have you been in this country?

Ephraim Ben Matityahu: 13 months in Manila, 4 months on EDSA, all together 17 months in the Philippines.

Ephraim Ben Matityahu, successor to Menashe Bar-On: From Ethiopia, I came to the Philippines.

Ephraim Ben Matityahu, successor to Menashe Bar-On: The Philippines is founded on four pillars: one is music, one is food, one is dance, and the last one is taking pictures, but over time, I learned that there is a fifth pillar which, I think, is very, very crucial and very, very fundamental is the Filipino smile. This is one of the friendliest countries I ever spent time in and you feel it. I really have fun here.
Ephraim Ben Matityahu, successor to Menashe Bar-On: There is a beautiful synergy between Philippines of today pushing toward the future and where Israel is today and can be really a very good partner.

Osnat S.: Come Thursday nights for crazy international karaoke. Don’t miss the papaya salad

The Jerusalem Post: Owned by Filipina Lucy Hazood and her Israeli husband, Mommy’s also offers karaoke to its visitors, whom are Israeli, Arab-Israeli, Ethiopian, Thai, Indian, Nepali, Chinese, and Filipino. For now, the crowd is halo-halo like—reminiscent of Israel’s many layers.

Menashe Ben Avraham: Morning prayers at synagogue today is Shabbat so looking forward to dinner tonight and lunch tmro also getting my Shabbos rest! #synagogue #tefillin #talit #Jewish #jew #Jews #kippah #yarmalka #shemaisrael #israel #Jerusalem #Filipino #Spanish #canadian #Sephardic #Davening #Shul #beitknesset #amisraelchai #superppowers #superhero

Shimshonit: Someone writes about having attended a shul with Filipino friends (gerei tzedek) and when the Filipino man sat down, a (white) woman came over and offered him a kippah. He pulled one out of his pocket and put it on, flustering her. 

Not all Jews are white; they live all over the world and usually look like the people they live among. Ever been to Israel and seen a Libyan Jew? Or an Ethiopian? Or one of the Bnei Menashe? 

In the situation where a woman handed a man of Filipino descent a kippah, it doesn’t necessarily mean she doesn’t think he’s Jewish, but the point is that he sat down in a sanctuary without a kippah. That’s not done anywhere I know of except perhaps a Reform synagogue, and perhaps not even then. 

The most effective way to change things in Judaism is to do what has always been done: concentrate on making yourself a better Jew and person, be a participatory member of the community, and with your presence and persistence, slowly chip away at the establishment. 

Good luck.
