why r callouts always like "please dont harass this person and dont go after them. anyway heres every single detail of their life gathered by stalking and their private profiles for all to see"

[monkeyislandtwo]

"please don't go after this person! now let me post this document for every single one of my followers and list every single one of their usernames"

in the same vein of "You have to love Jews more than you hate Nazis" to my fellow Yids: we have to love being Jewish more than we hate antisemites.

I know we all know this, but it helps to hear sometimes.

I love being a Jew. I love that I look forward to Shabbat services. I love that I'm looking forward to the High Holidays, I love that I've been tapped to do the aliyah for the Rosh Hashanah Torah chanting, I love that I successfully wrote my own name in Hebrew, at 32 years old, for the first time this past week, I love learning and growing and connecting and continuously rolling up my sleeves to enthusiastically wrestle with my identity with love and compassion and excitement.

I love being a Jew and I hope you do too.

Weird that the anti-Israel but definitely not antisemitic crowd has looked at the World Cup Final and decided that the nation with a Jewish leader is a proxy for Israel to be vehemently despised. Meanwhile the nation with a holiday called Killing Jews is a symbol of resistance against Zionism. I wonder what that could possibly mean

Anyway vamos argentina carajo

As a non Jewish queer person, I find the obsession some queer people have with making the Holocaust, of all things, all about us so, so disgusting and disrespectful, and certainly the way some people can only find it in themselves to give a shit about a teenage girl murdered for being Jewish is because she might have been queer.

It’s not about us. It’s not about us. It’s not about us.

Seeing queers get angry because the Jews “get” to have the Holocaust, as if the generational trauma of 6 million genocided human beings and the overwhelming loss of memory and culture is somehow a privilege.

Yes, queer people have historically, and continue to face extreme oppression and violence around the world. Yes, we should talk about and commemorate our dead and fight for our living.

Sidelining and erasing Jews and antisemitism from the fucking Holocaust is not the way to do it. That is not our trauma. Just stop it.

Ashkenazim are white. When I was in elementary school I was bullied by white kids who assumed I was Mexican. But Ashkenazim are white.

In high school theatre, I was cast as whatever vaguely foreign side characters were in the script, because my theatre teacher said I was “ethically ambiguous”. But Ashkenazim are white.

At my first job, a coworker asked me what country I came from, and refused to believe my ancestors were Ukrainian. She thought I was Māori. But Ashkenazim are white.

A few months after 9/11, my mother was stranded at the airport for five hours. My father was supposed to pick her up, and Homeland Security at the arrivals gate thought he looked Arab enough to detain. But Ashkenazim are white.

So if white supremacists ever attack your synagogue, don’t worry! They wouldn’t want to kill you. Ashkenazim are white, remember?

can we get some rollator and walker appreciation 🗣️‼️ i see a lot of cane and crutch and wheelchair appreciation but where's the love for rollators and walkers ‼️‼️‼️

[jewish-hot-takes]

pesach in the diaspora should look like this

1st night seder

second night chag

third fourth fifth sixth chol hamoed

7th night SECOND SEDER

Eighth night chag

and in Israel it’s the same as it is now I guess

if we are going to have a second Seder. It’s so much more convenient and fun to have it in last days instead of first days.

(this is not from halakha or history, just from what it would be nice to have.)

Reason 1: people arent sick of having a Seder because they had a gap

reason 2: you can stay with one part of your family for first Seder and then travel to your other family or somewhere else for second seder

reason 3: It makes last days less boring

i'm going to a chabad shul tomorrow! i called ahead and they said they always welcome visitors :D will be my first time at an orthodox synagogue, i hope i won't be too lost lol. i'll update with how it goes!

[sillyjewishbug]

it was rly neat!! i was worried i'd get lost during the service bc i heard orthodox shuls daven completely independently (i.e. not in unison) so i figured i'd fall very far behind but that was only true for a small segment. i was also worried about finding the women's section but it wasn't actually a separate floor/area or anything it was just one side of the room vs the other with no physical mechitzah. everyone was very kind and i'm glad i went :)
