JTA: Later this year, Arpon and her mother will be granted Israeli citizenship thanks partly to her time in the army.
DOREEN ELLEN BELL-DOTAN, TZFAT: The Ground of Being is the highest level of Humility. 
The Material Universe is not supposed to be a maidservant - at the disposal and to the use of any and all, without discrimination, without dignity, without recognition, and taken for granted. 
We should be giving The Universe the very same advice that we would give to our beloved Daughters, and Sons too: 
Don’t respond to those who don’t love you. 
Don’t let everyone touch you. 
Don’t give of yourself indiscriminately to those who do not honor and value you. 
Don’t collapse into the arms of anyone who pays you the least attention. 
Give of yourself as you will to those who love and value you and notice the jewels and beauty you hold within. 
Imagine a world in which The Universe refused to respond to anyone who didn’t approach it with love and utmost respect. Imagine if metals, for instance, did not allow themselves to be smelted alike for those who make jewelry and those who make shackles, those who build homes and those who build prisons. 
Imagine if Material did not actualize except for those who reached out to it in Love and the utmost Respect and Gratitude. 
Heaven is very discriminating about who is allowed to touch it. Earth must be so too. 
That reality is not only possible; it’s where we are supposed to be living. That reality is called The Land of Israel in Torah. The Land of Israel is not a geographical area and most certainly not a political entity that can be conquered and defended by force of arms. It is a State of Being that is manifested when we attain the level of Humility whereupon though we know that the Creation will materialize to us even if we abuse it, even if we disregard it, even if we take it for granted - we do not and regard it with sacred awe.

Then President Manuel Quezon opened the Philippines without any question or paper required to the persecuted people).

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.
