also, on friday night i went to my local united (i.e. orthodox) synagogue because the masorti synagogue i usually attend doesn’t do kabbalat shabbat.
there was a women’s kabbalat shabbat on in the main shul (the men’s service was downstairs in another room and i assume women were also able to attend, but the women’s kabbalat shabbat was the first room i passed)
i didn’t know whether it was on as the shul website said they did women’s kab shab, but it wasn’t every week and you need a login to the shul’s website to find out which weeks it was on, but they have a kab shab every week at that time so i knew there’d be a thing
yeah and it was really nice, everyone was perceptibly dusting off their hebrew from school but you could tell it was robust hebrew. it was also nice to be part of a halachic community that was driven about feminism (they’d started the women’s kab shab group this winter!) but wasn’t just people my age, it was actually all people my parents’ age or slightly younger, that was refreshing
in terms of davening quality i’ve maybe been in nicer places, but the quality of the space was wonderful and the quality of the community was also wonderful
also i chatted to the rebbetzin who is lovely and did not explode into venomous sectarianism or patronisingness when it came up that i go to a masorti shul usually, which in retrospect it was stupid to expect but (shrug)
...yeah it’s making me think that i could maybe hack orthodoxy
oh and i hung out in more nonhalachic jewish spaces and its making me think i could maybe not hack those
so according to the Israeli Rabbanut I'm not considered Jewish, yet I just read an article published in an Israeli newspaper stating that they believe Bugs Bunny is Jewish. wtf
