Shana Tovah To All My Jewish And Jewish-adjacent Folks Out There!

When people ask me why I’m converting to Judaism, a year into the entire process of it all, I just mumble “I dunno, just feels like I’ve always been here, been home.”

Then I pause and consider for a minute-

“But mostly because of the challah.”

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

Palestinian and Israeli singers raise their voices together in a moving rendition of “Home” by Phillip Phillips. Despite the violence surrounding them, they sing out for peace, justice, inclusion, and equality.

We are the Jerusalem Youth Chorus: Palestinians and Israelis raising our voices to push back against the violence surrounding us—to reject war, occupation, and terror, and instead sing out for peace, justice, inclusion, and equality. We don’t all share the same opinions—and have hard conversations about them every week—but we do share the same future, no matter what the politicians say. In JYC we have a rare chance to truly hear each other, and that’s what makes the chorus a home for all of us. Every kid deserves to grow up with that same safety and dignity. We know we don’t have the power to single-handedly stop war, but we also know that the reason war continues is because people think there is no alternative. We are the alternative.

So, as a Jewish Club board member at my college , I was tasked with making a sukkot meal flyer but the details kept on changing.

At first we were getting bagels catered, then it was pizza, and now it’s completely unknown. Then the dates kept changing - from the 19th to the 20th to the 18th ETC .

So this is what I have so far.

I really don’t know how we made it out of the desert.
