Robert Rusler: Phoebe was a blast. First of all, I adored her because I had been a fan from all of the films that I had seen her in previously. I thought she was the cats meow. When I got the chance to work with her I was really pleased because I thought that I was going to be working with the Phoebe Cates from FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH [1982], but when I went and met that fake Phoebe, she was quite different. I don't know why I thought I was going to be meeting the character she had played in that film, but I did. When I actually met her and started to work with her, I found her just so funny and smart. I really loved worked with her. We had a great relationship and all of these years later I look back at my time working with her as a priceless experience. Her fiance, actor Kevin Kline was there with us during the rehearsal process in South Carolina as well. He was about to shoot A FISH CALLED WANDA [1988] as I recall.

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.

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.
