Hana Elazar Legesse: We heard that there will not be a Passover Seder, for Olim ~ in the Absorption Centers ~ just Yesterday, only three days before Passover.
We, immediately, inquired with the Absorption Ministry, who responded that this was the responsibility of the Jewish Agency.
We, repeatedly, tried to Contact them, for answers, but did not Receive any Response.
הסוכנות היהודית לארץ ישראל: Nothing that would [otherwise] have taken place has been canceled; we do not {generally} hold communal seders, for Veteran Immigrants from Ethiopia; or Frum any other Country.
We provide them with guidance on how to hold a seder, organize simulated seders to familiarize them with the Holiday traditions, and offer them spaces to hold larger seders, if they Wish to do so.
Of course, if any of the more Established Immigrants FIND it difficult to hold their OWN seders, we are, Al-ways, Happy to provide them with whatever Assistance they need ~ in order to Ensure that they are able to celebrate the Holiday as fully as possible.

Jeanne: I’ve mentioned Elan Amaro Gayo before as being exported by the only woman coffee exporter in Ethiopia, whose pickers are 80% women, and no doubt this accounts for a major part of the superb flavour of this Arabica coffee. According to Joel Lumagbas of the Philippine Coffee Board, whose expertise on all matters pertaining to coffee growing I tapped for a coffee production project in the Ikalahan community of Imugan, Nueva Vizcaya in 2012, women make the best coffee farmers. Why so? Because, he said, they are meticulous in selecting only the fully red, and thus ripest, berries when harvesting by hand. (And in Imugan, as in other traditional Philippine montane farming communities, women have always beenthe farming experts. In the ancient division of montane agricultural labour, men were responsible for clearing and stabilizing the slopes and preparing them for planting by their womenfolk. I anticipate an especially distinctive Imugan Arabica coffee — I wish to call it Kalahan coffee or Kape Kalahan – arising out of this sustainable development project in 5 – 6 years’ time.)
But the full range and diversity of flavours of Elan Amaro Gayo (EAG), or any other Arabica, coffee is not attained until after harvest. EAG develops its incomparable flavour spectrum as it dries — the seeds (the coffee “beans”), normally two, remain inside the fruits (the coffee “cherries” or “berries”) as they are laid in the sun to dry. It is the natural action of the Ethiopian highland sun gradually working its magic on the coffee fruits — the length of time from about 3 to 5 weeks — that leads to EAG’s enhanced fruitiness, lower acidity, and creaminess or increased “body.”
4 News: On the third floor is Raheem, a young man who fled war in Sudan to come to Israel.
4 News: Firm estimates are hard to come by but it’s thought there are 250,000 foreigners living in Israel. In addition to this, there are 135,000 Ethiopian Jews in Israel. The majority of those live in Tel Aviv
The 1990s saw waves of immigration from the Philippines and Ethiopia: the former a traditional migration of people seeking better economic opportunities and work in the healthcare sector, the latter as part of a huge airlift operation to rescue Ethiopian Jews out of Addis Ababa during civil war.
Both groups have stayed in large numbers in Israel but have suffered problems. Ethiopian Jews suffer from widespread racism on a daily basis while Filipinos struggle to gain full citizenship rights from the Jewish state.
David Katz: how do we get a ger head count? can everyone just raise their hands, or how does this work? the curiosity killed the kat[z] it seems though so far so good. let's hope the new government here can somehow become openly pro-ger. i think, extracting shevatim yisra'el ~ emphasis on Greater Israeli tribal designation, respectively ~ should be a prerequisite for an official census, don't you, David? further, in lieu of the absence of proper korbanot, it appears an official census would only be necessary were Global Regional War on the horizon:

Now, why the Filipino donut? In the book there are a few Filipino characters: a boy who delivers the detective his lumpia, housemaids, a chauffer, hired thugs and the one who owns a donut coffee shop called Mabuhay Donuts. He is a 70-year old Filipino ex-boxer who is a valuable ‘informant’ to the detective.
Pages 172 - 173:
The Filipino-style Chinese donut, or shtekeleh, is the great contribution of the District of Sitka to the food lovers of the world. In its present form, it cannot be found in the Philippines. No Chinese trencherman would recognize it as the fruit of his native fry kettles. Like the storm god Yahweh of Sumeria, the shtekeleh was not invented by the Jews, but the world would sport neither God nor the shtekeleh without Jews and their desires. A panatela of fried dough, not quite sweet, not quite salty, rolled in sugar, crisp-skinned, tender inside, and honeycombed with air pockets. You sink it in your paper cup of milky tea and close your eyes, and for ten fat seconds, you seem to glimpse the possibility of finer things.
The hidden master of the Filipino-style Chinese donut is Benito Taganes, proprietor and king of the bubbling vats of Mabuhay, dark, cramped, invisible from the street, stays open all night long. It drains the bars and the cafés after hours, concentrates the wicked and the guilty along its chipped formica counter, and thrumps with the gossip of criminals, policemen, shtarkers and shlemiels, whores and night owls. With the fat applauding in the fryers, the exhaust fans roaring, and the boom box blasting the heartsick kundimans of Benito’s Manila childhood, the clientele makes free with their service. A golden mist of kosher oil hangs in the air and baffles the senses. Who could overhear with ears full of KosherFry and the wailing of Diomedes Maturan? But Benito Taganes overhears, and he remembers. Benito could draw you a family tree for Alexei Lebed, the chieftain of the Russian mob, only on it you would find not grandparents and nieces but bagmen, bump-offs, and offshore bank accounts. He could sing kundimans of wives who remain loyal to their imprisoned husbands and husbands doing time because their wives dropped dimes on them.
