In Judaism joy is the supreme religious emotion. Here we are, in a world filled with beauty. Every breath we breathe is the spirit of God within us. Around us is the love that moves the sun and all the stars. We are here because someone wanted us to be. The soul that celebrates, sings.
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, Studies in Spirituality, p. 258

Jewish Joy that I wanted to share.
Jewish joy is having your mother (not Jewish) help you plan your (convert in progress) outfit for your first ever Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur in person.
That's beautiful! Love this for you. I hope it all went well.
I'm unsure if you would even care! Ik, strangers online. But I guess it's good news so? I finally reached out to a synagogue and spoke to a rabbi after a year and a half post finding out my maternal family is Jewish (and thus me). Which! Felt weird! And new. Really new. Kind of overwhelming? The rabbi was nice, after years of being raised Catholic and how impersonal their churches tend to treat "outsiders", it was a really nice change? Is the Jewish community just Like That? (/Genq on that last part btw hdjdks). I hope you're having a good day! -Astral Anon
My friend, that is awesome! I'm very happy for you. It's always quite a step to start these things. I'm glad you were welcomed and you're feeling good. May this journey be fruitful.
On this day, 14 December 1951, Jewish bagel bakers in New York City went on strike, shutting 32 out of 34 of the city’s bagel bakeries. It left shelves bare and almost entirely cut off the weekly supply of 1.2 million bagels to the city, causing what the New York Times described as a “bagel famine”. The bakers came to agreement with the employers in January, and bagel drivers remained out until seven weeks after the start of the dispute, when they reached a deal to compensate them for wages lost during the strike. Happy Hanukkah everyone! Pictured: a bagel bakers in Queens, 1963 https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1607497052768772/?type=3
Here is a longer article about the bagel unions: https://www.grubstreet.com/2020/01/bagel-mafia-wars-local-338-union.html
The mob saw an opportunity. Local 338 had other ideas.
I checked this blog's activity for the first time in a while, and was surprised to find a great deal of notes. I appreciate you all. Here's to Jewish joy. Have a lovely Chanukah! 🧡
Lights of Remembrance
Where the Warsaw Ghetto once stood, Hanukkah candles light the night.
The house at 14 Waliców Street is one of the larger Warsaw Ghetto structures to have remained standing in spite of all the destruction.
The death toll among the Jewish inhabitants of the Ghetto was estimated to be over 300,000 Jews killed.
We remember their light.

As Halloween approaches, I’ve been seeing many very talented makeup artists recreate the face of the bride in Tim Burton’s “The Corpse Bride.” I thought this would be a good oppertunity to make some art and remind one and all that the “The Corpe Bride” (known in some tellings as “The Finger” or “The Demon in the Tree”) is a beloved Jewish folktale. Folklorist Howard Schwartz traces the orgins of “The Finger” to 16th century Levant. Aftrer hundreds of years of retelling, the story, like all folktales, has undergone many iterations and also became highly informed by the violence of life in the Pale of Settlement (specifically towards women and young brides).
shana tova!
Shana Tova! Today is the first day of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish near year. May it bring the best for everyone!
Check out these photographs of Rosh Hashanah from 1905 to 1915 in New York City. This collection shares a glimpse into American Jewish life and tradition in the early years of the 20th century. #shanatova

Rosh Hashanah is the start of the Jewish new year. We say l'shana tovah, which means have a good year. Apples and challah (dipped in honey) are symbols of hope for a sweet new year. :)
