Solomon [1 Kings 8:41-43]: And also to the stranger, who (is) not of Your people Israel, but will come from a far country for the sake of Your Name. For they shall hear of Your great Name, and of Your mighty hand, and of Your outstretched arm, and he will come and pray toward this house. You shall hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calls You for, that all peoples of the earth may know Your Name, to fear You, as (do) Your people Israel, and that they may know that Your Name is called upon this house that I have built.

Moshe Gilad: Our next stop is the modern olive press at Deir Hanna’s northwest edge. It’s the afternoon, and this large place is crowded with people. 
At the entrance is a short line of men toting their family’s olives from the morning harvest. Each one fills several yellow plastic containers with the oil that oozes out of the machine. The air is filled with the aroma of olive oil. 
Large signs explain that there are two production lines here — one for "regular" olives and one for olives grown organically. The last stop is a wonderful candy store called Hilwat Asham in the center of the village. 
A young woman brings over a small tray of delicacies — sweet kanafeh, a tiny baklava pastry and other unnamed sweets that melt in your mouth. As we sip our cold lemonade, we turn our attention to the bits of honey left on the tray.

For the addition, the group summoned the mural’s original artist, Eliseo Silva. A non-Jewish, Filipino muralist and Los Angeles resident, Silva worked all weekend long on the mural, painting the new words onto three leaves. He also painted an olive tree. 
It also represents a reunion between Silva and Gordon, who conceived of the mural when he took over the organization in 1995.

“It doesn’t seem like a long time ago,” Silva said of when Gordon first commissioned him to work on the mural 16 years ago. 
On March 15, wearing an apron and gesturing with fingertips covered in paint, Silva said he’s changed more than the mural.

“I think I’ve probably gained 70 pounds,” he said. “Eric looks the same. He hasn’t changed.”

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.
