tired jew

23, reform jew, using this to vent

[ventingfromatiredjew]

hello, welcome to this side blog

I've muted notifs for this blog because I don't have it in me to fight on the internet, if you see something concerning go ahead and dm me. once again- fuck off with anti immigration or anti Palestinian rhetoric, we aren't free until we're all free

I'm making this to give my main blog a break from the pretty constant posting about antisemitism, but at the same time it's not something I want to stop talking about.

I'm a reform jew from the US, and I post mainly from that perspective. I finished my conversation in the beginning of '24 and had been studying for about 2 years previous.

I'm a leftist, or certainly was one before the war began, and have felt super disconnected seeing how easy antisemitism invaded spaces that used to feel safe for me.

about israel:

i hate Netanyahu, I don't think he's good for israel and I don't think he's good for Palestine. Palestinians are absolutely indigenous to the Levant and deserve freedom, dignity and the right to self determination. Palestinians have suffered horrible mistreatment for decades at the hands of the Israeli government.

all of that is true, at the same time the following is; for the first time in history jews have a safe place to go. after millennia of persecution, there is one state, in the whole world that will accept Jews and that is something worth protecting

Saw a Threads post like "Jews what's your most heretical take" and everyone was giving really boring baseline Reform stuff like "patrilineal Jews are Jews" or "you don't need to keep kosher"

Had to come here to ask jumblr for the unhinged takes. Mine is that men shouldn't be rabbis because it makes a shul too much like the Beis HaMikdash

[magnetothemagnificent]

Not mine and not *exactly* heretical but: Potatoes are kitniyot.

[pusheenthenerdcat]

Ohoho this is a good thread idea.

Mine's that the reality of a marshmallow is SO FAR away from the origin of the gelatin that it really feels like it should be kosher anyway. like, elasticy sugar foam is very divorced from the concept of a pig and vibes wise has nothing to do with any reasoning conceivable during the time those laws were being written.

[magnetothemagnificent]

See an *actual* Kashrut hot take I have isn't heretical and is in opposite energy to yours and it's that lab-grown meat is Ever Min HaChai, meat from a living animal, and shouldn't be considered kosher.

[tzipporahs-well]

My Judaism hot take is the following: Jewish texts are supposed to make you uncomfortable. That’s why we’re Yisrael, one who wrestles with Hashem. If we’re not wrestling, who are we?

[ventingfromatiredjew]

my kashrut hot take is that either fish is meat or chicken isn't

700 ICE agents pulled out of minnesota? morale low on the murder squad due to getting their asses caved in by your grandma in -30 weather every day for weeks on top of being dupes and stooges of the most pathetic order? ohhhh gosh.......ohhhhhhhhh too bad. what a fun time to send $15 to the Stand With Minnesota org of your choice

Since it’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, I’m gonna circulate this site again.

Illuminate is a Holocaust remembrance and education initiative. Please take time to #RememberOne victim and join our global community.

[ulyssessimpsongrant]

I remember first discovering this site five or six years ago and they haven’t even cracked a million names yet. I think it’s a really wonderful memorial that emphasizes each name as an individual rather than just a statistic and doubles as a teaching moment to show the sheer devastation to the global Jewish community and emphasize exactly how large a number six million is.

[aguineapigcouldntdothis]

if youre an american jew and youre not speaking out against ICE (whether on tumblr or somewhere else) then genuinely fuck you. and i mean that from the bottom of my heart i think youre sickening if youre quiet right now especially given jewish history.

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

[jewish-vents]

i genuinely believe that you cannot identify as a non/anti/zionist if youre not jewish and every goy who uses any of these terms to describe themselves should stop it, this belief is for jews by jews, you have no right to use our words without permission and then change their meaning as you see fit, shut up

It's that time of year again...

[ja-khajay]

that one extremely homoerotic painting of a babylonian man listening to a babylonian twink playing babylonian harp. that one

[ja-khajay]

yeah

[theotherwesley]

this is my favorite painting full stop

[adulthoodisokay]

that “babylonian twink” is King David

[lunoki]

The baffled twink composing Hallelujah

Goys have this tendency to imagine that Jews (especially Jewish children) yearn for Christmas. That there's a gaping hole in our hearts that only Christmas spirit can fill and we deny ourselves of it. THIS ISNT TRUE AND IT'S A TYPE OF FETISHIZATION. LIFE ISNT A HALLMARK MOVIE. Jews and others that don't celebrate Christmas live fulfilling, happy, rich lives that wouldn't be improved by tinsel.

hi, this is your gentle reminder and PSA: there are ELECTIONS happening in November 4th. PLEASE GO VOTE. Trump is the most unpopular he has ever been, but does that mean your average independent, or republican will vote for a dem this time around-likely no- they probably will just skip the process entirely if they don’t have a candidate they feel strongly about. this is why i’m asking YOU SPECIFICALLY to make sure to go vote. and i don’t wanna hear any doomerism shit about how voting is a waste of time bc of whatever, guys voting is the last of anything we have it is clear most of these people who represent us do not actually care, HOWEVER trump currently has the house, senate and courts and making it even slightly harder to do anything or having a large enough group to speak out against what he’s doing will help hundreds of thousands of people in the US. now more than ever is it important to make sure that they know that we do not stand for this
