Margot Cassel-Pins: Very often when a stranger comes, the first reaction is one of hesitation and estrangement. We never felt that. We saw smiles from our classmates who asked where we were from and included us in all their games. When we learn about the resources of your country, aside from rice, wood and the great coconut, the big resource is the heart you give and the heart that oversees others, like the caretakers here who are taking care of our aged. Those are the values that I still love and respect. I was never made to feel less because I was a refugee or an immigrant. I was always allowed to be part of their lives. I am deeply thankful for letting me express my gratitude to you.

Ephraim Ben-Matityahu: Thanks to the open door and open hearts of President Quezon and the people of this country, 1,300 Jewish people were saved from certain death in Europe, and Margot, like so many others, was given a chance to live her life and create a wonderful family.

מִרְיָם: I don’t know what possesses people to be so aggressive about imposing that I MUST be Filipina. How come people see my super uncommon strictly Hebrew name, followed by a more common middle Hebrew name (or, as I prefer, a two-part first name), see me right in front of them wearing my Hamsa (or Magen David, depending on the day, but mostly the Hamsa), TELLING THEM “no, I’m Sephardic,” and still insist that “no way, [I] must be Filipina” and then start forcing me to speak a language I cannot understand even a single word of. After a long day of the same person pushing me the whole Filipina thing, she finally realized that maybe, just maybe, I am not. And then throws “what’s your nationality then?” Well… Which one of them? ;)

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.

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.
