Shanah Tovah!!! May 5785 Be Filled With Sweet Wishes, Everlasting Hope, And Peaceful Blessings. 🍎🍯✡️

Can I say I think it's insane how "xenophobia is fine if their government is bad enough" is like a mainstream liberal opinion to have. Also just deeply funny to think that way as an american. You think random people should be hated for where they're from except for you? War crimes capital of the world? Please be serious. Or is it like a guilt thing. Idk

Fighting a new chronic condition during the entire high holiday season has got me feeling real down. I keep having dreams about dwelling in a sukkah because I haven’t felt well enough to do so irl. I’m praying for enough wellness and energy to enjoy Simchat Torah in person, rather than on my synagogue’s livestream.

I know logically that there’s no shame in taking care of my body. But it’s so hard to feel fulfilled this time of year when I’m stuck on my sofa.

I made Gary (my gecko) a tiny Tallis and yarmulke for Rosh Hashanah and he wished u all happy new year

Yes, today is Simchat Torah Outside Israel, today is Simchat Torah, the end and beginning of the Torah reading cycle! Please note the timing and observances of these holidays may vary by congregation. Shabbat begins at sundown.

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.
