בנימין נתניהו: I am emphasizing markets in the East

בנימין נתניהו: There’s genius on the Japanese side; there’s genius on the Israeli side: a genius to forge a new future; to bring the Heights of ingenuity to productive use for all societies. Friendship and cooperation will increase them both. Japan and Israel are partners, Japan and Israel are allies, in seeking a better future, and Japan and Israel are friends. In this Spirit, Prime Minister Abe, I say, once again, welcome to Jerusalem… Thank You
安倍 晋三: Based on these bonds ~ frum times past ~ and based on your friendship, Japan will continue our endeavor to reinforce our relationship, as a friend of Israel.

Tomorrow, as a genuine friend, I might offer A.D. Vices that may not be easy for both parties to swallow.

We look forward to further develop and advance our bilateral relationships and we look forward to creating a new era, for our relationship. Thank you very much...

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).

An Open Door

"In my mind, 'Concentration Camp' I knew it was a terrible place and we would most likely be killed there, so it was fear, terrific fear, and, om, so we started hiding." ~ Ruth Ephraim, An Open Door 
‎"[Philippine Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon] developed an affinity for Jews because he felt that there was a sort of a symbolic brotherhood between Filipinos and Jews. That is, as the Filipinos were the recipients of racial discrimination and bigotry on the part of many Americans at that time that the Jews were similarly recipients of bigotry by the Nazis and so, even though Quezon had extremely important and critical political and economic issues to wrestle with at this time, he was willing to take a stand to help the Jews." ~ Sharon Delmendo, Author and Commonwealth Historian 
‎"My father spoke often of his Filipino friends and recounted things that were these small moments, but clearly moments that, for him, were all about friendship and happiness and something that was very light-hearted." ~ Michelle Ephraim, daughter of Frank Ephraim, Author of Escape to Manila: From Nazi Tyranny to Japanese Terror 
‎"Quezon, and so few people know that, President Quezon of The Philippines saved twelve-hundred Jewish souls, as many as Schindler, maybe even more, and that is the epitome, basically, of Judaism: it says, 'If you save one soul, you save Mankind.'" ~ Lotte Hershfield, Holocaust Survivor
