you do not get to use the memory of the holocaust to imbibe a lesson on people about current events if you never speak up about antisemitism. you aren’t allowed to take advantage of jewish trauma if you don’t give a shit about jews.

Jewish Water Demon 🌒

Drinking from natural bodies of water at night can trigger a terrifying danger linked to sudden blindness, caused by a demon called שברירי, Shavrirei.

The Talmud gives a very serious warning against this, but if you absolutely must drink, these are the instructions to do so as safely as possible:

If someone is with you, you are told to speak out loud and name yourself as you ask for water.

If you are alone, the text provides a protective incantation that shrinks the demon’s name step by step:

שברירי ברירי רירי ירי רי

The demon can be weakened by shrinking it into nothingness through sound.

This Shavrirei warning appears as part of a larger Talmudic “danger instructions” cluster, where the rabbis preserve very practical sounding steps alongside demon language, which is part of what makes it feel like a real folk manual embedded inside a legal text.

The remedy matches the fear so perfectly. The danger is invisibility and confusion in the dark, and the response is to force clarity into the moment by speaking out loud, stating who you are, and then doing something that feels like verbal exorcism by dismantling the name itself until it is too small to hold power.

Shabbat Shalom.

Thinking about Dr. Robby’s suicide ideation in the context of being a Jew in a post 10/7 world. Like… long time coworkers casually sharing blood libel. Patients hearing his full last name and thinking he’s someone to distrust or fear. A media that gaslights him about rising antisemitism even though the Pittsburgh Jewish community hasn’t recovered from Tree of Life. The creeping certainty that if he was murdered for being Jewish tomorrow, people wouldn’t mourn him. In fact, they’d say he deserved it.

And maybe that’s right, he starts thinking eventually. Maybe he does deserve it.

I cannot stop thinking about Robby's mental health in terms of how antisemitic the world of psychology is right now.

Like, I know the intention is that the therapy he did between seasons one and two didn't help because he wasn't in a place for it to help, but unless he was actively screening potential therapists for how they talk and think about Jews and Israel, there is an approximately 100% chance that at least one of the therapists who "weren't his speed" gaslit him about antisemitism and/or Jewish trauma.
