Palestinian And Israeli Singers Raise Their Voices Together In A Moving Rendition Of “Home” By Phillip

I don't think people on this website understand what "you should love jewish people more than you hate nazis" means

do you hate nazis because they're fun to hate on and easy to ratio? or because of the material harm they have caused, are causing, and will continue to cause? when you see a nazi, do you see an acceptable target? or do you see an active threat? what do you do to help jewish people outside of these situations? anything at all? do you have positive views on judaism? do you try to better yourself by listening to jewish voices on topics of bigotry?

I'm not going to complain about a nazi getting punched for being a nazi, but the issue isn't as simple as just punching nazis. you need to love jewish people more than you hate nazis if you want to address the root causes of antisemitism

Everybody shut up and look at the Cincinnati zoo Hanukkah otter

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.

The whole "israhell" and "isnotreal" shit is just blatantly anti jew at this point.

Like Israel has been a word used by jews to describe jews for centuries, far before Israel, the country existed. For example, am yisrael chai means the Jewish people live.

"Oh but I'm talking about the country not jews"

Cool yeah sure that may be your intention, but the other month a synagogue in the US as Israel crossed out and replaced with Palestine by antizionists who thought that the passage on the outside of the synagogue was referring to the country of Israel, when in reality it was referring to jewish people. Essentially the word jewish/jewish people was crossed out and replaced with Palestine.

Hopefully most people can look at that and go "damn that's fucked up and antisemitic".

And I get that there is the very likely that they did not know that Israel also means jewish people, however it takes 2 minutes to Google search + vandalizing a synagogue bad full stop. And the whole not knowing that it has multiple meanings in of itself causes antisemitism.

And ignoring the fact that people aren't pulling this shit with other countries they don't support, as a jew I feel unsafe when i hear people saying that shit as I A) have no clue if it's has or will result in them pulling similar shit at synagogues or even with posts using Israel meaning the Jewish people and B) I also have no clue if they genuinely mean Israel the country or Israel as in the Jewish people.

It's super simple to not use israhell or isnotreal. Using those words does not at all do anything to actively help Palestinians, it is slang created by those in the west so they can refuse to say Israel. And if you believe that not saying Israel is more important than not making jews, not zionists, jews around you uncomfortable, than unfortunately you are not normal about jews.

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

Baa baa backstreets, have you any boys

Another delightful shul moment I wish I could capture. A dad rushing in last second to make sure his baby’s little hand touches the Torah and then kissed his baby’s little fingers instead of his tzitzit.

inside of you there are two intestines.

one of them is large, and the other is small.
