Mindanao as Jewish "state": Philippines, then preparing for its eventual transition into an independent state, allowed the repatriation of 1,200 Jews to Marikina. Calling themselves the "Manilaners," the Jews were saved

BY THE ARCHIVIST: The identification of Mindanao as destination of the Jews was an offshoot idea to form an inter-committee to deal with the Austrian and German refugees. In a radiogram to Jacobs, Quezon "has indicated willingness to set aside virgin lands in Mindanao for larger groups of Jewish refugees who wish to engage in agricultural enterprises." Three days later, Philip Frieder organized a luncheon with Quezon and the members of the Jewish Refugee Committee (JRC) in Manila. The President said, in approving the resettling of as many refugees as possible in Mindanao, that he was "willing to give them all the land that they wanted, build roads for them, and do everything in his power so that they could re-establish themselves." Elated, Herbert Frieder, brother of Philip and member of the JRC in Manila, told the Refugee Economic Corp. in New York that Quezon was willing to settle a million refugees in Mindanao, which would mean "a bigger project than Palestine." As an aftermath, Mindanao became the top priority as a potentially successful haven for refugee resettlement. On Dec. 17, 1938, Jacobs advised planners that the scale of the colonization plan carried "elements of danger." Quezon, on Dec. 23, 1938, offered an amended plan suggesting as many as 1,000 persons to be admitted annually until no more than 10,000 persons had been given leave to enter. (To be continued)
Nena C. Benigno: The dramatic rescue plan for the Jews was devised by three men who mapped out a strategy over weekend nights playing poker and smoking cigars. They were: Quezon, who would sanction the Jews’ official entry and even donate his own land in Marikina and Mindanao for their settlements; American High Commissioner to the Philippines Paul McNutt, who risked his political career convincing US government officials to issue thousands of working visas for Jews to the Philippines; and Herbert Frieder and his sons, owners of the Philippine-based Helena Cigar and Cigarette Factory, who provided jobs in their factory for the Jews, raised money to transport them to Manila, found them housing and schools for their children.

Reprinted from “I Await His Coming Every Day” (Kehot Publication Society, 1991) Adapted & Translated by Rabbi Eliyahu Touger Edited by Uri Kaploun.: After quoting and analyzing several references to Mashiach in Bilaam’s prophecy, the Rambam begins a second halachah with these words: 
Similarly, in regard to the Cities of Refuge, it is stated, "When G‑d will expand your borders… you shall add three more cities." This command has never been fulfilled.

||King Moshiach will arise and renew the Davidic dynasty, restoring it to its initial sovereignty.||
