This is my sideblog for posting on Judaism, saving resources or things of interest and what not

[moshesbiggestfan]

first time jewposting but idgaf what the pope or really any christian has to say about the "first testament" (torah) bc its not their book. idrc if this is controversial but im really really tired of the CATHOLIC CHURCH pretending to be the authority on a book they stole and appropriated from us ESPECIALLY considering their history with massacring us and otherwise making it impossible for us to live our lives.

[thatproudjew7042]

oh you’re so real for this

[moshesbiggestfan]

this post was in reference to someone asking a jew if theyre "seriously correcting the pope on the bible" when the jew in question was talking about the ten commandments.... like the texts that MOSHE RABBEINU brought down.... i get madder everytime i remember it

i need christians OUT of our business

i would like to project these words into the minds of Every Jew in the world

[certified-pinkwasher]

lowkey i get so pissed off whenever christians tell our stories like theyre original like No that did Not happen in the "old testament" IT HAPPENED IN THE TORAH AND THEN YOUR RELIGION COMMITTED PLAGIARISM

[jewish-vents]

I hate that I have to pretend to care about Jesus lore in order to be a good interfaith liaison. If I’m honest, I wish I could never hear about Jesus ever again. Tired of that guy and truly could not care less. But I have to pretend to care about Easter.

arguing with a "the bible is all fake" person is so exhausting. "book of fairy tales!!!" well yeah it's the oral tradition passed down to us by our ancestors with the goal of teaching our children life lessons about how to live in the world. like every folktale. including fairy tales. "b b but its not true!!!!" yeah i know thats why i go to shul early on saturday mornings for torah study to sit down with my community and see what truths we can find in our traditional stories. "but somebody made it up!!!!!!" yeah, our ancestors did, to teach us how to live by our culture's laws and values. "but it didn't happen!!!!!!!!!!" no but what did happen is our ancestors cherished and protected and passed along these stories because the lessons they teach are so important to our culture so if you'd step aside please i'd like to continue studying what my predecessors worked so hard for me to have

i am a jew. we are not fucking responsible for christian nationalism and white supremacy, we are targeted by it. fuck you

[fuzzytheduck]

one of the reasons I'm still religious despite my lifelong battle with faith is that the fantasy aesthetic of judaism is too good. You're telling me a faceless formless god made a covenant with my ancestors bound in sacred scrolls handwritten by master scribes on parchment too holy to touch, and these scrolls are decorated and revered and protected and held in such high regard that when the cabinet they are kept in is open you have to stand in respect. And also you seal this covenant in blood by cutting off a part of your body. thats hardcore say less.

thinks about how jews are hypervisible and yet hyper invisible. how we are always being spoken of and in the public mind and grouped with "abrahamic religions" yet how people know so little about our actual culture, religion, history. how people know about the holocaust but don't know why it happened. how people know the word "antisemitism" and say they don't support it but don't believe it's still a real problem. how people know jews exist but don't think about how antithetical to jewish life their christian societies are, how few jews there are. how people assume jews are just diet christians, just special white people, both to be made hypervisible as the supposed symbol of the wrongs of white christian hegemony and to be made hyper invisible victims of it.

so much antisemitism of the last two years has been from people who just don't want to admit that they know nothing about Jews

[slyandthefamilybook]

Jews have had to remind people that we're an indigenous tribe, that we're not a universalizing religion, that we're not just Christians minus Jesus, that we're not all just white people, that the Holocaust happened, etc. but rather than say "oh, I didn't know that. clearly I've been laboring under several misconceptions" they've just gone "well obviously you just made that up"

goyim will hear Jews challenging their preconceived notions about us and go "sorry, it's your word against Mein"

[starlightomatic]

some american leftists will ally with anyone and anything that is against america no matter its track record of human rights abuses

[starlightomatic]

which also leads me to wonder, do they hate america because of its track record of human rights abuses, or is there a different reason?

[brainscrems]

While about something sort of different, I think it really captures the reason quite well, just translated to a general context

The Baggage of Whiteness

There's a new essay being passed around by Megan Wachspress on "The 'New Antisemitism and the Logic of Whiteness."  As one might imagine ,*

This is basically all another chapter in David Nirenberg's Anti-Judaism: The Western Tradition. Throughout history, "Jewish" is the convenient shorthand for "things that make me uncomfortable" and seldom if ever refers to anything actually Jewish (though it almost always results in attacks on actual Jews).

Except instead of "What does physical body mean in light of spiritual jesus-y stuff? Body is Bad and Jewish!" like early xtians were asking, now it's "What does 'White colonial' really mean? Really means Jewish!"

[transmotel]

I went looking for a post because I saw an argument and genuinely wanted to read it to see if I could learn more because I do think the Israeli government is in the wrong and want to genuinely learn. But then it was by someone who reblogs jokes about attacking Israeli tourists like jfc can you not be xenophobic how hard is this to not mock regular everyday people for where they are born why should I listen to you

guy who’s never studied either organised religions or cults: there’s basically no difference between organised religions and cults
