“cis woman pop singer in drag says men are incapable of making good art” genuinely sounds like the title of an onion article. but she won a grammy because critical thinking is cringe or whatever

goyim on this webbed site willfully refusing to understand the concept that jewishness isn't determined by blood quantum

meanwhile the (conservative) rabbi at the shul in my hometown will actively stop people from telling him or even implying that a particular reform ger's conversion wasn't fully halakhic because he doesn't want to be obligated not to count them

meanwhile before i went to the mikveh i sometimes had to remind *my own sponsoring rabbi* that i don't count in a minyan yet

meanwhile i've learned our prayers so thoroughly that the stranger standing next to me on rosh hashanah assumed i must've gone to hebrew school as a kid

meanwhile at my first shabbat morning service when i told the floor gabbai i was just starting the conversion class she double-checked which honors i could do then had me open the ark

meanwhile when i told another congregant i was studying to convert she immediately invited me to shabbat dinner

meanwhile my rabbi straight up gave me a set of tefillin when i couldn't afford to buy my own

meanwhile one of my friends recently offered to make me a tallit katan completely unprompted when i said i hadn't been able find one in my size

meanwhile when i went to the one year memorial for october 7th, only a month or two into studying, the ritual assistant from my shul said she was so glad i came because "you're already one of us"

meanwhile every jew who knows i'm a ger or who knew me while i was still studying has invariably welcomed me into the tribe with open arms, because the idea that that makes me any less jewish just isn't there. not even remotely

i asked my rabbi in september 2023, about three months into my conversion, if it would be okay to start wearing a kippah -- i had one from a bat mitzvah and wanted to wear it. he said yes and i've worn one ever since.

two of my best friends bought me a tallit after i went to the mikveh. one of them gave it to me at hebrew school so i wore it for t'filah that morning and got to show the kids what a tallit is and how it's used -- my friends were already enabling me to fulfill the mitzvah of tzitzit, but that day i got another mitzvah out of it by teaching it to the kids.

my best friend and i have been invited to the same friends' house for dinner the past two rosh hashanahs; they've shown us pictures of their grandson.

i sign up for aliyot as often as i can because the mi shebeirach for aliyah has become kind of crucial to my mental health and there's nothing more meaningful to me than to stand in front of the congregation and affirm that g-d gave us, all of us, the torah.

i've said this before but there was a fellow ger on my beit din, and having "avraham v'sarah" written twice on my conversion certificate is so special to me -- sometimes i think of gerim as a sort of tribe, in that we're all siblings, b'nei avraham v'sarah.

i'm secure in my jewish identity thanks to my community. racists are mad because they can't do shit about the fact that my people love and embrace me.

As a born Jew I wanted to add why, to me at least, gerim are so deeply special. There’s this post I saw a while back from a cis woman about how she loves trans women because it means there is joy and light to find in womanhood, and her womanhood outside of the pain that society puts on that role. That there’s more to it than just the suffering. I feel similarly about gerim. You saw our history. You saw our struggles in the modern day. You saw all the shit that people say about us. And through it you saw us. Our people, our community. You saw us, and loved us. You did this and, knowing all the risks that come with it, wanted to be part of our people. And it’s a reminder of how much joy and love there is in being Jewish. A reminder of all the wonderful parts of being Jewish. And a reminder that you don’t have to be born into it to see it.

The Converts

By Chana Bloch

On the holiest day we fast till sundown. I watch the sun stand still as the horizon edges toward it. Four hours to go. The rabbi's mouth opens and closes and opens. I think fish attd little steaming potatoes, parsley clinging to them like an ancient script. Only the converts, six of them in the corner, in their prayer shawls and feathery beards, sing every syllable. What word are they savoring now? If they go on loving that way, we'll be here all night. Why did they follow us here, did they think we were happier? Did someone tell them we knew the lost words to open God's mouth? The converts sway in white silk, their necks bent forward in yearning like swans, and I covet what they think we've got.

it's weird how there's this perception of OCD as the "cleanliness" disorder where people still consider OCD behaviors to be like, rooted in some rational and correct (but overshot) trajectory toward objectively sanitary conditions, if that makes any sense? like there was a reddit post about somebody's roommate who had an extremely biohazardous room and a few commenters mentioned that OCD might be a factor based on her other behaviors, and a bunch of non-OCD-havers were like "what??? but it's objectively not clean??? there's so much bacteria in there???"

like idk how to tell you that the disorder gives you disordered thinking. disordered thinking is not rational. and there are absolutely things that trigger 1 person with OCD but do not matter to another, because your OCD can latch on to literally anything.

if you can’t condemn antisemitism as it occurs today then you have no business using the holocaust as a metaphor for anything. this should not be controversial.

I talk about this so much. The relationship between Dineʼé and Israelis is so beautiful and has only grown deeper and more beneficial over time. Presidents and other tribal leaders from the Diné nation have visited Israel for diplomatic missions numerous times; there have been exchange programs to aid with education, cultural revitalization, economics; Dineʼé have studied Israeli water management and agriculture to adapt to the conditions in Dinétah (due to the similar climates) and Israeli technologies have provided much-needed resources to Dinétah that the US federal government neglected to provide. Indigenous peoples supporting each other, despite the objections of those who want us weak and impoverished (or worse).

And progressives would rather Native Americans have scarce water than that they should have a productive relationship with the Jewish state that made the desert bloom and reforested arid zones no one else valued — until the Jews revitalized those lands, at least.

ngl it feels like kind of weird to see a lot of people who have not watched the show dismissing heated rivalry as like a mindless sexfest that everyone is enjoying as softcore porn when it is a show about the intense emotional strain of being closeted in a hypermasculine field that does not make space for you or your identity. + one of the main emotional conflicts for the Russian main character is that if he comes out he cannot safely ever go home again but he does not have citizenship for another country. and he is responsible for financing the care of his terminally ill father. + the Japanese protagonist has a not explicitly stated but very clear issue with the fact he is supposed to be the strong asian role model for young boys but being gay could "ruin" that and he does not know how to balance being a racial role model with being his authentic and queer self. like

idk maybe im being sensitive but there's a tendency in broader homophobic culture to dismiss everything about gay male relationships as shallow and hypersexual and this behavioural trend very much reminds me of that. im not saying anyone is obligated to like or watch the show, theyre not. and yes there is a lot of sexual content in the show. but "critiquing" a show you have not seen that is about gay men for being meaningless and shallow because it contains heavy sexual elements is very uncomfortable to me.
