I was just thinking about the term "two Jews three opinions" (as I frequently do, I love that phrase).
There is frequent division and debate within our community. We are by no means homogeneous in our views, but we still hurt and cry and care for each other.
And that's just so beautiful and amazing.
Our views expand far beyond the binary of black and white, unlike the frosting on a halfmoon cookie!
So enjoy this little doodle appreciating our diversity of views, hopefully it brings a little joy into your day.
some of yall don't understand what human rights mean and it is legitimately worrying how some of you think that if a person is 'bad' enough they should have their human rights taken away
Jewish Holiday Miku - Shavuot 🐮🥛🧀
4 September 2024 - 1 Elul 5784
Yes, today is Rosh Hashana LaBehemot
Rosh Hashanah LaBehemot is the “New Years for Domesticated Animals.” During the days of the temple it was a day for shepherds to determine which of their animals were to be tithed. In modern times the festival has been revived to raise awareness for animal welfare, and for the mitzvah of tza'ar ba'alei chayim — to avoid the suffering of living creatures.
Today is also Rosh Chodesh Elul
Rosh Chodesh is a minor holiday observed at the start of each month! Holidays to anticipate in Elul: Minor Holidays: Rosh Hashanah LaBehemot on 1 Elul Erev Rosh Hashanah on 29 Elul
Please try to find happiness.
I've seen so many of my jewish friends and people I look up to falling into despair, and I completely understand why. I feel that pull, too. But we must hold onto life. We must live, too.
I think what helps me in not feeling guilt over this is to know that judaism demands you live, as well, knowing that I will be useless as a community member if I myself am despondent and apathetic to life itself. I know this may not help everyone, but please remember, we must live. You deserve it.
Do good in their name.
reminder that disinformation is bad even when it furthers your narrative. if an organization is bad, you don't have to make up lies about it being bad. it's already bad literally just utilize the facts that are available to you
remember when we say, "may their memories be a blessing," which we've had to recite an agonizing number of times in these months, it is not passive. this is a part of making those blessed memories reality and keeping their spirits alive with us.
People hate Jewish resilience. They hate us in general, but they *especially* hate our resilience.
my little cousin called my kippah a helmet and i said “yeah it’s to protect me from the ayin hara” and he said “what?” and i said “the evil eye” and he said “oh like the death star” so we’ve established the following:
the death star is the ayin hara
we wear kippot to protect us from the ayin hara, i.e. the death star
Shabbat shalom
opening the comments on any art depicting an israeli ever
Also, I really wish I didn't have to say this, but antisemitism against Zionists isn't okay either. The problem with being antisemitic isn't that you might be harassing a "good" Jew, it's that antisemitism is wrong no matter who it's aimed at.
You cannot justify bigotry as long as it's aimed at "bad" people. The fact that many of the people I see arguing against this simple statement are the same ones who call out transphobes for misgendering "bad" trans people just shows how little society as a whole actually sees Jews as people.
you have to be normal about religious jews you have to be normal about religious jews you have to be normal about religious jews you have to be normal about religious jews
"you should be at the club" incorrect "you should be at pirate weekend at the renn fair" well this we cannot refute.
What can I do to help stop the war?
Anon, if I knew how to stop the war, do you honestly think I’d be sitting around posting on Tumblr?
im not an orthodox jew (im conservative/masorti) nor am I a woman, but it is wild to me how often ill see an orthodox woman explain why she chooses to do something and why it brings her joy/comfort/empowerment, and literally every goy is like "ummm that sounds sooo horrible i could never do that you must be suffering so much". no she literally just said she liked it why are you convinced that every woman who is willingly part of a religion must be trapped.
like yall claim to be feminists but dont actually support women making their own choices, especially when those choices can impact men. so what if that orthodox woman isn't gonna have sex with her husband for a bit? so what if she likes to cover her hair a wig instead of a tichel? is it your place to judge her at all? the answer is no!! leave her the fuck alone. if you truly care about autonomy then learn to support it even when it's not a choice you'd personally made. do it without snarky comments about how you can't imagine how she does it, and actually try to respect the real person that she is
also please listen to actual orthodox women on this more than you listen to me. they are the ones with front row seats to this antisemitic misogyny, and they should be taken seriously when they talk about their issues
the L and K should not be so close on the keyboard the amount of times I've accidentally typed a very antisemitic slur while trying to type "like" is absurd. the only thing saving me from this is autocorrect and that feels like a flimsy barrier at best

Yes, today is Tu B’Av. Tu B’Av (the 15th of Av) is celebrated as a holiday of love. It does not have many associated customs. In more modern times it has become similar to Valentine’s Day, a day for weddings or vows of love.
Pre-chopped fruits and veggies make it possible for so many people with various disabilities to prepare healthy meals and maintain their energy.
The complete and utter lack of self awareness exhibited by the goyim who continuously reblog "antisemitism is bad!" posts in between their regularly scheduled blood libel is truly impressive to witness
