Wh-when the guy you have a crush on keeps talking about women every time you try to bring up how much you care about him and he told a story about how he wouldn’t survive if something happened to you but he still found a way to talk about women but then he kissed you but also he apologized for kissing you and you’re trying to figure out what the fuck any of that means.
hi! I'm @gifographicmemory, one of the coordinators of Sam Week :D @ptacku and I, as well as several other Big Sam Fans, organized this event.
first things first, @ptacku is a Jewish mod and is happy to answer any questions re: Sam and Judaism submitted to this blog. in his words, "I love yapping so fucking much please god let me yap"
I myself am not Jewish. I knew basically nothing about Judaism when I first started getting interested in Sam. the only way I learned anything was by asking questions in the #samuel of kuttenburg tag and receiving very generous, enthusiastic answers from folks who wanted to share what they knew.
all this to say, if you're too intimidated to participate in Sam Week because you don't know anything about Judaism and/or you're scared to offend, please rest assured:
doing the research, being genuinely curious, asking good faith questions, and taking feedback/corrections with grace (even if it's imperfect or embarrassing or you end up missing the mark) will always be more appreciated than ignoring Sam or his faith entirely.
