Shanah tovah!!! May 5785 be filled with sweet wishes, everlasting hope, and peaceful blessings. 🍎🍯✡️
One thing I’ve realized I love about Judaism is how there is less of a stress on the gender of G-d vs the feeling of G-d. When I think of the divine, I can’t picture a man or a woman but I do know the feeling of wind before a tornado, or seeing a shooting star for the first time, or feeling the first breeze of summer kiss your cheeks or-
opening the comments on any art depicting an israeli ever
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.
i use the terms alas and i fear far too much i fear. but alas

Yes, today is Rosh Hashana 5785 Rosh Hashanah is the first day of the Jewish year. Observances include the sounding of the shofar, a ram’s horn, baking the challah into a circular loaf to signify the cyclical nature of the year, and using the greeting “L’shanah tovah”, which means “To a good year”. Rosh Hashanah begins the High Holidays, which culminates in Yom Kippur, the day of atonement.
I made Gary (my gecko) a tiny Tallis and yarmulke for Rosh Hashanah and he wished u all happy new year
