“OP’s Been Real Quiet Since…” It Was Shabbat. If You’re Going To Pretend You’re Anti-Zionist

the wait time for trevor project's chat is 40 minutes, in case anybody was curious

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.

Words cannot express how much I hate the people that run JVP.

There is no universe in which calling to “reject the ADL” is anything other than horrifically antisemitic.

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

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

Everybody shut up and look at the Cincinnati zoo Hanukkah otter

Every day I think about how I opened up to a friend about a threat that was sent to my synagogue, and her initial response was confusion, followed by a statement that whoever sent the threat should know that “Judaism is not the same as zionism.”

I’ve never felt more scared realizing that people I know and work with could rationalize threats of attacks at local American synagogues if the synagogue was ✨Zionist✨

And I think about it all the time, because that was supposed to be a statement of comfort in her mind. With the implication was that I was a good, non Zionist conversion student and had nothing to worry about.

It’s not that people can be grossly antisemitic. Their intention and values were just aimed at the wrong place?? 🤨🙄

I know this isn’t a new line of thinking. But it was jarring to hear it said to my face.

Without going into too many personal details, my chronic illness has prevented me from attending my shul for over a month now. I miss my community so bad. It’s so hard to feel engaged while watching service livestreams. I just want to be in the building again, with my friends.

I love love love being religious but you have to admit there's something a little bit funny about it all. Like sorry boss I can't come in tomorrow, me and all my Jewish friends are going down to the river to throw bread and look at fish and feel sad about our sins. Yeah it's gonna be all day.

Work pressure 😿🐈
