Ken Natori: Ever since I had met Anika’s parents [Maxine and Andrzej] during Giora and my senior year at Amherst, they had always joked [to me, Anika, and whoever else would listen] that their daughter and I would one day end up together. Maxine had even joked about how our wedding [Headline: Polish-Mexican-Jewish-Daughter of West Coast Academics Marries Japanese-Filipino-Catholic-Son of New York Socialites] would have to be chosen as the Times’ Wedding of the Week.
Anika Yael Natori: The nice jew that I am, one of the highest ranking members of the Filipino Catholic Church was flown in from the Philippines for our wedding. I am one lucky girl and feel so honored/privileged/happy to have found someone as amazing as Ken. I love him with all my heart. Ken is my everything and I love him so dearly. Not only for what he has given me [children, marriage, love, stability, a family, everything], but for who he is and the life that we have together.

Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao, PLH: Psalms 104:1
"Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty." If we look at the power and majesty of God in the right way, it changes both the way we see Him and the way we see ourselves. May God Bless everyone and have a blessed day.
jonathan_mizrahi: Come to HOLON
Akiva Yael: With disconcerting awareness, I have realized that experiencing emotion and opening to a full and mutual exchange of feeling are two vastly different hemispheres. I have been called guarded, compared to a locked door and an impenetrable wall. While I can’t disagree with such a characterization, I feel far more shackled than protective. The irons of my past impede movement and I feel imprisoned by my own story. I am a regular visitor to the site of old wounds, I count daily those who have left my life, and constantly scan for patterns. I extract justification for disengagement from others and allow fear to dominate. I am always looking back.

יְשַׁעְיָהוּ: הַרְחִיבִי | מְקוֹם אָהֳלֵךְ וִירִיעוֹת מִשְׁכְּנוֹתַיִךְ יַטּוּ אַל תַּחְשׂכִי הַאֲרִיכִי מֵיתָרַיִךְ וִיתֵדֹתַיִךְ חַזֵּקִי

Jonathan Zasloff: The prophecy deliberately creates ambiguity.
Jonathan Zasloff: In Transit, the elder teenage daughter dates a Jewish boy and does not understand when her mother speaks Tagalog.
Her younger brother develops a warm friendship with an elderly Holocaust survivor being cared for by the boy’s father. The old man teaches the young boy a love of Judaism, including how to leyn the weekly parasha. 
I know: it’s a movie. We might wonder how many Filipino kindergarteners can leyn their parasha.
Jonathan Zasloff: Refugees and migrant workers throughout the world see Israel as a prime destination. They are not fools. They want to become Israeli. Israel’s response to this potential influx has not exactly made it a light to the nations. 
More than 300,000 migrant workers – mostly from China, the Philippines, and eastern Europe — do the lion’s share of the unseen 
Jonathan Zasloff: God has given contemporary Jewry the precious gift of foreign nations seeking us. This is strange, and unfamiliar, and an enormous opportunity.

ZhyKitty: 40,000 Americans a year are dropping dead from lack of access to care. That's roughly 109 a DAY!
Conatus: That is an appalling statistic. As a foreigner, it is inconceivable to me that this could happen in such a country.

This is a notable statement, in lieu of the 40,000 Asherim that aligned themselves with David as he ascended the throne of Shaul: ||40,000 are in Israel, mostly as caregivers.|| ||Asher appears to have had at no time a close connection with the body of Israel. In the light of this outstanding fact, it is not easy to understand how it could have become so loyal at any later date as to send 40,000 men to join the standard of David|| (1 Divrei Hayamim 12:36).

Moshe: May Reuven live and not die out, and may his people be counted in the census. May this [also be] for Yhudah. ||Espia said that in the Israeli apartment where they shot most of the scenes, the Filipino tenant recounted how she used to hide her 6-year-old daughter under the bed to escape deportation. |When we were shooting some of the scenes ... the Filipinos ... who were watching cried because I think that’s something they can really relate to,| Espia said.||

Introducing Ya'el

philSTAR Transit: “All my lines are in Hebrew so I had to learn the language and certain pronunciation of words that’s very difficult to acquire because we were doing tutorials over Skype. But when we started shooting in Israel and hearing people speak in Hebrew, I found it easier to pronounce or actually make something like the phlegm sound. It was very difficult although I can do it with French; it’s still so different from Hebrew. I have an Israeli actor playing my boyfriend, Omer Juran. He helped me how to deliver my lines with right pronunciation and emotion. Tita Irma played like a real mom to me during our shoot in Israel. She helped me a lot and I’m so thankful to her. During free days, we explore Jerusalem together.” ~ Jasmine Casandra Ojales Curtis-Smith

"Filipino-Israel"


Jasmine Casandra Ojales Curtis-Smith: I went to the open auditions for Cinemalaya. I didn’t know anybody and I just want to try my luck and experience ‘yung applying for a project where you don’t know anyone. I wasn’t expecting anything when I talked to Director Hannah Espia. Nang paalis na ako, they called me back and said ako raw ang gusto nila for the role of Filipino-Israel girl named Yael in the story. I couldn’t believe it. First time ko mag-try out, nakuha agad ako.  
I was so happy when Direk Hannah told me I was her first and only choice. But it’s a difficult role kasi I’m supposed to be born and raised in Israel and I don’t know how to speak Tagalog. All my lines are in Hebrew, so they got me a dialogue coach. We shot in Israel for nine days. But even before we got there, my Israeli coach was already teaching me on skype how to speak my Hebrew lines correctly. Ang hirap! I have to memorize them pa.  
My mother in the story is Irma Adlawan and I have an Israeli actor playing my boyfriend, Omer Juran. Omer was very helpful in helping me deliver my lines with the right pronunciation and emotion. Si Tita Irma naman, naging mommy ko talaga siya sa Israel shoot. She helped me a lot and I’m so thankful to her. ‘Pag walang shoot, we explore Jerusalem together. I love her.

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.
