I think when you apply to be the guy that designs university websites you have to verify that you have never studied web design

People hate Jewish resilience. They hate us in general, but they *especially* hate our resilience.

I love that despite the saying "two Jews three opinions" the audacity of a teacup mikvah still brings us together

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

Someone shared this in my conversion groupchat and I thought y'all would appreciate it too.

this quote from the mandolorian spoke to me for jumblr-adjacent reasons so i decided to experiment with adobe illustrator lol

probably going to turn it into... something (idk yet maybe a screenprint for my class or a necklace)

I wasn’t going to post anything else today with all that has happened in Israel but evil will not win.

While my heart and prayers are with all the victims and my people, here is a simple lesson on Jewish traditions during Rosh Hashanah.

Traditional Rosh Hashanah foods are symbolic, reflecting hope, renewal, and blessings for the new year. Key examples:

Apples in honey – Wishing for a sweet new year.

Round challah – Symbolizes life’s cycle and continuity, often sweetened with raisins.

Pomegranates – Represent abundance and the 613 commandments

Fish head – Symbolizes the hope to lead and make progress.

These foods are part of the Rosh Hashanah seder, accompanied by prayers and blessings for a fruitful and positive year.

Hi! This is literally not what Kamala Harris said at all.

Here is what she DID say:

On Oct. 7, Hamas, a terrorist organization, slaughtered 1,200 Israelis. Many of them young people who were simply attending a concert. Women were horribly raped. And so absolutely, I said then, I say now, Israel has a right to defend itself. We would. And how it does so matters. Because it is also true far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. Children, mothers. What we know is that this war must end. It must when, end immediately, and the way it will end is we need a cease-fire deal and we need the hostages out. And so we will continue to work around the clock on that. Work around the clock also understanding that we must chart a course for a two-state solution. And in that solution, there must be security for the Israeli people and Israel and in equal measure for the Palestinians. But the one thing I will assure you always, I will always give Israel the ability to defend itself, in particular as it relates to Iran and any threat that Iran and its proxies pose to Israel. But we must have a two-state solution where we can rebuild Gaza, where the Palestinians have security, self-determination and the dignity they so rightly deserve.
