Kenneth Ephraim Surat: As expected, night time brought a very cold breeze from the mountains, so before wrapping up our city tour, we met our friend Tina who is a Filipino living in Kyrgyzstan. It’s really unbelievable that Filipinos are everywhere! Because it was very cold, she suggested for us to grab a hot chocolate drink which perfect for the continually dropping temperature.

Amir Ben-David: If it is proven that the site is appropriate for producing oil ~ efficiently ~ a long social and environmental debate is, likely, to rise regarding whether the site is worthy of long-term production and how much it might endanger the entire region; and the Sea of Galilee.

DOV BAR-LEIB: "Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, and you will eat flesh!" Huh??

DOV BAR-LEIB: Bachya says that we should not pronounce שָׁנִים as Shanim but as Shnayim which means "two prophets" describing the word הַנִּבְּאִים in this case meaning Eldad and Meidad (those were not their real names). 
Meidad: A nickname for one of two people (either one of the sons of Elitzafan ben Parnach Prince of Zevulan for whom the Land for his tribe was apportioned by Yehoshua bin Nun or Qemuel ben Shiftan, Prince of Ephraim also at the time of Yehoshua’s apportionment. See BaMidbar 34). Meidad means Beloved of Water

jacobinesque: A man came across a beach covered in starfish that had washed ashore. Further along he saw a boy throwing the starfish back into the ocean. “What are you doing?” he asked the boy. The boy responded “The tide is going out and if the starfish don’t get back into ocean they will die.”

“But there are thousands of starfish on this beach!” the man said. “You can’t possibly save them all. Even if you worked all day, it wouldn’t make a difference.”

The boy picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean. “It made a difference to that one.” 
That starfish was Albert Einstein.

Tamar Kadari: According to one tradition, when Jacob saw Joseph’s sons and wished to bless them, the Shekhinah (Divine Presence) departed from him. Jacob thought that Manasseh and Ephraim were not the sons of a legitimate marital union, and were therefore unfit to receive a blessing. Jacob asked (v. 8): "Who are these?", that is, how were these born? (Midrash Aggadah [ed. Buber] 48:8). In another tradition, Jacob saw with the spirit of divine inspiration that Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephraimite, would erect (statues of) calves, incite Israel to engage in idolatry, and cause five hundred thousand of Israel to fall in a single day (as is related in II Chron. 13:17). Jacob therefore asked: "Who are these?"—perhaps you improperly married the mother of these? Joseph brought before him Asenath and her ketubah (marriage contract) and said (Gen. 48:9): "They are my sons, whom God has given me here [ba-zeh, literally, with this]": "with this"—with a ketubah and proper marriage. He also showed him that, just as he was circumcised, so were his sons (Midrash ha-Gadol, Vayehi 48:8–9 [ed. Margaliot], pp. 820–21).
