Shabbat Miku 🕯️🥐✨

Jewish culture is gently resting a kippah on your pet's head so they'll feel included

you can’t say that and not show us….

shabbat is for nervous system recovery it doesn’t matter if you’re not religious it still has so much meaning and importance!!! why do secular people not understand this!!! reducing it to ‘silly’ or ‘pedantic’ rules about not driving or shopping or using electricity is so patronising and ignorant. I don’t want to drive 3 hours on shabbat for a hike because it’s exhausting and this is a day about recovering from exhaustion. I don’t want to go shopping because the lights are bright and the crowds are noisy. I don’t want to cook or do laundry because it’s loud and/or messy and because this is one time in my week I allow myself to just Not Do Things!!!

I am literally sitting here on my phone. I was reading from my kindle earlier and I’m about to drive to a little hike about 25 minutes away. maybe my shabbat would be even more relaxing if I followed jewish law more closely, I don’t know. but this is something that works for me and so I’m strict about keeping it because it adds something positive to my life, not simply because it’s a religious law. why is it so hard for secular people, jewish or not, to consider judaism with even just the tiniest bit of nuance

I’m slowly realising that almost nobody thinks that antisemitism is a real problem. They only think nazis are a problem (if that even), because they were conditioned to hate them.

But they don’t consider their own antisemitism to be antisemitism - they just consider it to be common sense, or justified political activism!

No, today is not a Jewish holiday. Shabbat begins at sundown.

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.

I wish Jews in media were allowed to exist outside the realms of Hanukkah or the Holocaust
