im just really scared right now.

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….

I’ve been seeing a lot of people talking about accepting Orthodox Jews recently. And while I’m very happy that we’re getting some positive attention for once. I’ve noticed a lot of peoples arguments for why Orthodox (they really mean modern orthodox) Jews are cool is that they’re “not like ultra-orthodox Jews”. So here’s your reminder that if you don’t accept Jews you consider “too orthodox” then you don’t accept Orthodox Jews period.

Internalized antisemitism isn’t a cute look babes.

Well you should’ve named yourself something else then

5 August 2024 - 1 Av 5784

Today is Rosh Chodesh Av- the first of the month of Av!

Today begins the Nine Days of Av, a period of mourning, repentance, and reflection which culminates in Tisha B’Av, commemorating the destruction of the first and second temples.

Observances vary but may involve refraining from activities such as shopping or getting a haircut.

Holidays to anticipate in Av:

Major Holidays:  Tishah B'Av on 9 Av (August 12-13)

Minor Holidays: The Nine Days from 1-9 Av (August 5-12)  Tu B'Av on 15 Av (August 18-19)

Special Shabbatot:  Chazon on 6 Av (August 9-10)  Nachamu on 13 Av (August 16-17)

Jewish culture is being asked to take off your hat (as per school dress code) and taking it off to reveal another, smaller, hat

Notes:

If you can't be normal about Jewish people without scanning their entire internet presence to see if they're an ~Evil Zionist~, I can promise you, this isn't the blog for you. I also encourage you to research more about Jewish history, the history of Zionism, and the weaponization of Jewish terms and concepts by antisemites.

This is my blog to be open about my Jewish journey, and explore conversations + connections with other Jewish bloggers. I block people without apology if they make me feel unsafe or unhappy during my time here.

Other intersections of my life might come up, especially in relationship to Judaism. Examples include my experiences as a trans and disabled person.

Might add more as I make more posts lmfao

“OP’s been real quiet since…” It was Shabbat. If you’re going to pretend you’re anti-Zionist not antisemitic, at least let Jews observe their holidays in peace
