My dear Jewish lgbt+ kids, 

You’re allowed to be both Jewish and lgbt+. Those two things are not mutually exclusive. 

Both are important parts of your idenity, don’t let anyone tell you have to give up a part of yourself! 

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Mom

Wardrobe. If you are upset, angry or uncomfortable with me over the clothes I choose to wear… I am not the one who needs to change. But perhaps you need to reevaluate your feelings and why my personal style is contributing to your own dissatisfaction or discomfort. Do not chastise me because I like to wear skirts and make up. Do not rebuke my existence because I look damn good in a dress. Do not reproach me with your concerns over my wardrobe because I do not get dressed for my day with you in mind. You can berate me as much as you like, but I wont change. There was a time when I had no choice but to conceal my true self to continue living alongside someone or multiple people. Thankfully, I am past that point in my life. If you have yet to reach a point in life where you feel 100% free to be yourself, now is the time to figure out how you can change your life in a positive way that allows you such freedoms. For younger individuals, this is the hardest because all you can do is wait it out until you reach an age where your parents can no longer control you and society can’t stop you. I know what that is like, I have been there! Remember, I am only 22 years old! It wasn’t until about 3 years ago when I obtained such freedom for myself. Never give up on yourself though. Never forget the person you want to be when you finally get the chance to. I sure didn’t. Xoxo -Elliott Alexzander

christianity: the lord is my shepherd and i am a lamb whom He will guide to safety

judaism: we call ourselves “the god-punchers”, bc we like to remind Him of that time He lost a fight against our great-great-great-granddad

[abomination-of-gender-deactivat]

i see a lot of confusion in the tags so here’s an explanation of the joke!

the joke of this post is referencing the story of Jacob in Genesis. Jacob is one of the legendary Patriarchs of Judaism whom all non-convert Jews claim descent from, so he technically is my great-great-….-granddad.

At one point, Jacob meets a stranger on the road, who he ends up fighting for a reason the text is unclear about. Jacob wins the fight, and the angel reveals that he was actually a holy spirit in disguise. 

The precise identity of the man is a point of contention in all traditions- there’s an even split between if it’s God himself or an angel sent as an emissary.

Regardless, the man blesses Jacob and names him Israel- ישראל, yisra’el. The name is complicated to translate, but one popular one is “he who wrestles with God”. His descendants adopted this as one of their ethnonyms- בני ישראל, b’nei yisra’el, the children of Israel, the Jewish people.

So saying we Jews call ourselves “the god-punchers” is a loose translation, definitely, but I’d give an honest argument that it accurately portrays the spirit of the phrase, especially by giving it a glib and boastful modern phrasing.

for the nitpickers: yes, “The Lord is my shepherd” is a part of Jewish belief too! It’s from a passage in Psalms, which is a book that Jews and Christians do share.

But the relationship that we Jews have with HaShem is complicated and occasionally even adversarial. The Christian relationship, on the other hand, is much more, well, patriarchal. Jesus is a father figure who is always good and never needs a stern talking-to from His creations. 

In contrast, the Torah and Talmud are full of stories of Jews arguing with HaShem- and winning, and HaShem being ecstatic that He lost the argument. Bickering with our deity is a sacred Jewish tradition that continues to the present day.

The worst😑

[taavot-deactivated20170404]

a jewish person saying “the bomb threats are hopefully not going to be acted on because they haven’t been so far” = optimism, trying to keep it together in a very scary time, trying to reassure others in community. 

a non jewish person saying “the bomb threats aren’t even going to be acted on, relax” = dismissive, naiively complacent, ignorant of the cycle of how things have played out in the past, would rather have jewish people shut up.

there’s a difference between a people trying to remain strong and hopeful through threats of violence, and outsiders trying to quiet us and minimize the seriousness of the situation.
