Jeffrey Klubeck: During the month of December, I start thinking a lot about my relationship with God. I mean, I’m a Jewish guy who married a Filipino Catholic and, along with her and all 3 of our kids, celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas. Celebrating both Holidays allows us to teach our kids important lessons from each religion, at the same time, the kids learn how to develop their own relationship with God.

Sharon Delmendo: Quezon developed an affinity for the Jews because he felt that there was a symbolic brotherhood between Filipinos and Jews, as the Filipinos were the recipients of racial discrimination and bigotry on the part of many Americans at the time and the Jews were similarly the recipients of bigotry by the Nazis. Even though Quezon had extremely important political and economic issues to wrestle with at this time, he was willing to take a stand to help the Jews.

CBCfanzine: The Jewish and Filipino communities of Winnipeg have contributed so much good to the city. They are very much a big part of what makes Winnipeg, well Winnipeg. There’s no other city quite like it in Canada, and I say that as a jealous resident of Ottawa!

Kristine Sydney: I joke with my husband J. that we look like a United Colors of Benetton ad: me, a Filipino raised Catholic in Saudi Arabia and him, a white American Jew from right outside Boston.

Audio: The Farm-To-Table Olive Oil

Ari Soffer: But one hanukkiah-lighting taking place in Jerusalem next week will have particular significance: for the first time in nearly 2,000 years, experts have reproduced the pure olive oil precisely as it was used in the Temple to light the Menorah.

JEWISH TRIBUNE: When disaster strikes, compassion breeds. This campaign was just a small token effort to repay a debt of gratitude and to display our appreciation to this nation that did so much for Jews worldwide.

Juliet Estrella & Mark Spencer: Juliet and I met during our first week at I-House, in August 1988. We enjoyed the many activities and made many friends at I-House. We got married in 1996 in Berkeley, with many of our I-House friends in attendance. Our wedding ceremony blended together Filipino, Catholic and Jewish traditions, which we continue to this day. We happily count ourselves among the many cross-cultural couples of I-House, and we enjoy our visits back to Cal and I-House!

Yuval Ben-Ami: I reunited with Ruthie and both of us headed into the monsterous terminal building itself. There, inside a small bar, we met our friend Yonatan. All around him were platters full of noodles and sushi, bottles of soft drinks and balloons. They were all Filipinos, well, mostly Filipinas.
People from the Philippines arrive in Israel mostly as nurses, to care for the elderly and the handicapped. They are a community of some size and over the years many of them have put down roots here.
Yonatan added that we can move on whenever we wish. "There are other parties on tonight. People can hop from one bash to the next, like at the Mimouna." Mimouna is the feast North African Jews observe in honor of Maimonides following passover.
The next party, held at a community center in South Tel-Aviv’s Hatikva neighborhood, was utterly huge and soon erupted into some fine dancing.
Yonatan explained that each party was thrown by natives of different regions in the Philippines. With us here were the people of Pangasinan, on the island of Luzon. Following the dancing, they held a beauty pageant and kids got up on stage to sing. Yonatan and his colleague Noa knew the kids well and cheered them on.
I stopped 9-year-old Brigit in the community center’s corridor.
"What do you like best about Hanukkah?"
"Sufganiot!" she said, the Hebrew name of the holiday’s traditional jelly-filled donuts.
"Which candle of the menorah do you like best?"
"The Shamash!"

Brigit is a smart and wonderful kid and I’m glad to have her share this country with me. Eventually, inevitably, lights are lit and puto pastries are served, right next to the sufganiot.

A Trip to Manila Paves the Way Home

||eBook Description: "Attention ladies and gentlemen: the Captain has switched off the No Smoking sign. Keep your seat belts lightly fastened, order a double bourbon on the rocks, kick back and get comfortable. We are in for a long strange flight through the streets of Boston and Philadelphia, Philippine tribal villages, lush tropical islands, a storybook kingdom, and the State of Israel.
In this collection of curious short stories and odd little essays, C. L. Hoffman introduces us to a colorful array of ""square pegs"" and social desperados, kibitzers, criers, wild men and wise guys. Hoffman describes each of these types with rare insight and empathy, proving once again that it takes one to know one.
Most of the sketches about life in today's Israel, to be found in the second half of the book, have been published previously in the Jerusalem Post."||

||Hoffman with his family.|| ~ Asian Jewish Life
 
Carl Hoffman: After I had wandered around Manila's business district for more than an hour, a small, squat, gray building adorned with a large iron menorah and topped with a golden dome loomed sharply into view. Cleverly camouflaged amidst the gleaming office towers and five-star hotels, set behind a tall wrought-iron gate and protected by uniformed Filipino security guards, the Philippines' one and only synagogue stood shockingly before me. Later, at the lavishly catered kiddush, a pale, bespectacled and very young man in a black velvet kippa introduced himself to me as the Rabbi (The Rabbi! I gawked. In the middle of Manila!) and asked if this was my first visit to the shul. 
"It's my first visit to any shul in more than thirty years," I said to him. 
He smiled, shook my hand, and said, "Welcome home."

The word for eight (8) in Hebrew is shemonah, and a simple permutation of the letters in shemonah (ShMNH) gives us hashemen. “the oil” (HShMN), and also neshama (soul, NShMH), all of which have the numerical value of 395, that of the 5th word in the Torah, H’Shama’im (the Heavens).

And when we spell out the Shin-Mem-Nun root letters of the Oil they add up to 546, so we must keep in mind (Proverbs 27:9): “Oil and incense rejoice the heart,” and be joyful as we light the oil for that joy will spread through the 10 sefirot and be contagious throughout the world.

12. The Menorah That Never Forgets

||The Syrian-Greeks famously used elephants in battle against the Maccabees. This pachyderm tromps around Thailand bearing testimony to the victory of light over might.|| ~ Mordechai Lightstone

Walang ligaya sa lupa na hindi dinilig ng luha.

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.
