Picked Up My Hebrew Lessons After A Week Off, And I’m So Delighted By How Much I Still Retained And

Thinking about this part of the JVP Tisha B’Av guide:

Literally it says

“This is what the day is about”

And then openly admits that it is purposely removing this meaning from the day leaving… what? Some bullshit shell of Judaism and Jewish identity.

But it’s honestly really telling because this is what they want us to do. They want us to give up our identity “for the Liberation of Palestine” and they think this is a perfectly acceptable request and they point to antizionist Jews and say “see! They’ve made themselves acceptable to us! Why can’t you?”

And don’t get me wrong, I am 100% in support of the liberation of Palestinians from Israeli oppression. At the same time, it is always unacceptable to ask people to alter or give up their cultural identity for any reason, especially at the threat of verbal abuse and violence

I made Gary (my gecko) a tiny Tallis and yarmulke for Rosh Hashanah and he wished u all happy new year

maybe the term “antisemitism” seems “overused” because theres so much of it

I’m logging off all socials for tomorrow, so I just want to say to my fellow Jews:

I hope you are safe. I hope you are hugged. I hope nothing bad reaches you.

Please take care of yourselves. Not only in physical safety, but mentally too. If social media becomes too much, allow yourself to log off. Try to do something you like - I know it may come with a sense of guilt but I’ve found it helps while grieving.

Feel all you need to feel. Cry all you need to cry - and if that means not crying at all, that’s ok, too.

No October 7th will ever be the same for any of us. This is the first anniversary, hopefully the next one will be a little more bearable. עם ישראל חי

Everyone queue up this meme I made for next week

You motherfuckers yes I hate Kamala too but when she is announced to be the Democratic candidate we are all going to shoot fireworks and go to the goddamn polls

Trying to remember this
