Wish a happy and blessed Passover holiday for all my Jewish brothers and sisters around the world 🌷.
May our wishes come true and we’ll see the Geula very soon 🙏🏻
Stay safe and full of hope ✡️🫶🏼.
חג שמח ובטוח לכל בית ישראל!✡️🌷
קצת באיחור, אבל עדיף מאוחר מאשר אף פעם..
ליל הסדר היה לפני כמה ימים, אבל עדיין לא מאוחר לאחל חג שמח.
“והיא שעמדה”, זוהי האמונה.
היא שעמדה ועומדת לנו למשך הדורות,
שממלאת את ליבנו באור ובתקווה.
השיר הזה לא מתנגן אצלי רק בפסח, אלא כל השנה כולה.
הפסוק הזה כל כך נכון, הוא הווה בכל רגע.
“שלא אחד בלבד עמד עלינו לכלותנו”. צמרמורת בכל פעם מחדש כשאני שרה את זה יחד עם המשפחה שלי על שולחן ליל הסדר, כבר פעם שלישית ברציפות שלא הצלחתי לשלוט בדמעות שלי.
מאחלת לכולנו ימים טובים ושקטים יותר🙏🏻
פסח כשר ושמח, חג אביב פורח, חג חירות ענוג וחג מצות טעים🫶🏼😊
The Four Sons (or: Passover with the Waynes).#prompt
so, Thinking about the Robins, Bruce has 4 sons. And after Leyl Ha'Seder, I find myself thinking a lot about the "4 sons" in the Hagada. (suggested translation below, though I read it in the original language -Hebrew).
TLDR: it suggests that the Torah speaks of 4 sons: Smart, Wicked, Simple ( "tam", can also refer to innocent\fool), and one that doesn't know how to ask. then give different scenarios\answers to the interactions with each son.
I think there's a very interesting parallel about how the robins SEE THEMSELVES\how they are portrayed.
Smart: Tim is seen, by himself and others, as "the smart robin".
Wicked: Jason (RH) clearly portrays as the evil\darker\villain, and also separates himself from the family. Whether it's bc he uses guns, or "came back wrong" (bs, IMO).
Simple: Dick, though this is a bit tricky. I don't mean to say that he's stupid. I definitely not saying he "did nothing wrong". But I think that Dick Grayson always has some "Tam" vibe. he's not 'innocent' or 'stupid'. He is a very complex person, but at his core he always lets ppl see him as "Goldy" or "smiley robin", the bright leader, etc.
one that doesn't know how to ask: Damian. He's more likely to stab you than ask you for help, or about what you're doing. And that's maybe part of his personality, but I also believe it's how he was raised - he was never allowed to ask questions or show any weakness, so he doesn't KNOW how to do that, even if he wanted. He doesn't see it as an option.
and I can't stop thinking of Passover, where they all gather together:
Dick: just want everyone to be okay and happy.
Dami: Tt... this cardboard is disgusting.
Tim: let me explain you everything...
Jason: I'll read the wicked son part. Since, you know, it's me.
[more complicated explanations undercut]
there are 2 explanations I like for this Midras:
it's about how to teach different people. Bc the Midrash speaks about 4 (different) sons, and also about how to deal with them.
The smart ask an over-complicated question. And get a full lecture of [everything there's to know].
The wicked asks "Why do you do that", and separates himself. he's answered by "bc that's what god did to me" (and my ancestors), implying that if [the son] was there, he wouldn't have been saved. I do have a problem with this answer, bc it's very harsh, but I think it's also sort of a reminder - doubt, but remember that you CAN doubt. It's also important to notice that "the wicked son" is still THERE - not hidden or unwelcome. Not being told to go away. Just "be aware -snarky questions would get a snarky answer".
The simple says "What's that?". which is a simple and complicated question. You could give him a 4-hour lecture about the origins of the holiday, sure, but he's not there. He won't remember anything. You do weird things, make him ask questions, and then he'd learn.
The un-ask one doesn't even know there's something to ask about, or how to ask. so you start by telling him, and make him want to hear more or ask about his interests.
2. The Midrash isn't about 4 different sons. We all have some of those, and we need all of them.
We start as babies - unable to ask. we slowly learn that the world is wide and start asking "what's that?", bc we don't have enough words and we want to know more. then, as teens, we rebel and question things. rethink and criticise the ways we were raised. as adult we keep on our way, learn more, and continue our way.
but we always stay with all those pieces. We'll always have this part that just go with it, this is how it is. We'll always have the wonder the wide-eyed "WHT??" when something new happens. The wicked make you critic and rethinks things - that can be both good\bad, depending on what you do with it. The smart that makes you research, learn more, and progress.
we'll always have the four sons inside of us.
and that's ok.
happy Passover, and thanks for coming to my DTalk (Dvar Torah), since I can't say it to my family.
Kampinos is a track I’ve made for a contest organized by polish music production school. It was about using samples from Kampinoski National Park so there were a lot of wood crunches, birds noises and other organic sounds provided by them.
That was one of my firsts tracks made in Ableton and I remember that I discovered a lot of its great features using Sampler and Simpler, a super-easy way of warping sounds and playing with the arrangement. I recorded my vocals and edited it ending up with a choir layer and beast-like noises which I really liked and later I added a track of my voice reading names of flora and fauna of Kampinos.
My mixing skills were rather nothing back in the days so after a year I mixed it again and although now I can still hear a lot of stuff that could be improved I decided to keep the track as it was. There’s no point in endless making changes in one piece. However, I like the spooky vibe of this track and its rawness is something I like right now.
It also became some kind of anthem of environment protection to me. That was not my intention during the working process but now I feel like the song speaks to me to remind about taking care of nature and the planet.
