[is-the-thing-actually-jewish]

I don't think self-sacrifice and martyrdom are jewish values? especially the latter.

This guy was quoting Isaiah and something about rather sacrificing oneself rather than spilling blood

Answer: Not Jewish (except when it is, because we weren’t given much of a choice).

Without knowing what the quote from Isaiah was or what the guy’s actual point was, we cannot be certain, but in general, the Jewish attitude towards self-sacrifice and martyrdom is “we’d rather stay alive, please and thank you.” Unfortunately, because… gestures broadly at two millennia of violent antisemitism, enslavement, forced conversion, inquisition, pogroms, blood libels, genocide, etc. ... Jews have not been given that option.

Jewish law as far back as the Talmud has made it abundantly clear that the value of pikuach nefesh, the preserving of a human life, is so important that you are not merely allowed but actively required to break almost every other law if a life is at stake. The Talmud lists three exceptions to this rule:

You are not permitted to commit murder to save your own life. Note: This does NOT mean you cannot kill the person threatening you, which the Talmud would classify as killing but not murder. But if a sociopath says “I will kill you unless you kill that innocent dude over there,” Jewish law says you should let them kill you.

You are not permitted to commit sexual violence or otherwise break the laws of sexual morality (adultery, incest, bestiality, etc.)

You are not permitted to publicly renounce Judaism in such a way that it might a) encourage other Jews to convert and therefore b) encourage violent antisemites to continue threatening Jews to convert or die.

So, it is possible that the guy in question was referencing Point 1, but the particular phrasing does seem suspect. We do not valorize martyrdom, nor do we encourage self-sacrifice— overwhelmingly, throughout centuries where this was not remotely a theoretical question, Jews have come down on the side of “do what you must to live another day” (with some exceptions, such as at the Massacre of York). There have been far too many people eager to slaughter Jews that we do not feel any need to make it easier for them by not resisting. Given the prevalence of Christian missionaries misusing Isaiah in particular in their missionizing efforts combined with the stark contrast between Christian martyr-worship and Jewish life-preserving, it is reasonable to be highly suspicious of claims that guy was making about Jewish principles and values.

All that said, it doesn’t feel right to give an unqualified “martyrdom is not Jewish” answer because we do have martyrs (or, in the traditional Hebrew, those “murdered for the sake of the Holy Name,” those who chose death over renunciation as per point 3 above), and we would never dishonor their memories by disavowing them.

And so too do we have traditions about martyrs, since it has been a relevant topic throughout Jewish history as much as we would prefer things to be otherwise. Those traditions are about grief, anger, and memory, emphasizing the tragedy and horror of the events rather than presenting any kind of aspirational model. Arguably the clearest example of this is in the “Eleh Ezkerah” (“These I Remember”) section of the Yom Kippur liturgy, also known as “The Martyrology.” Traditionally, this text details the torture and death of ten rabbis at the hands of the Romans, interspersed with the refrain, “these I remember and my soul weeps in sorrow.” Over the centuries, this has also become a space on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, when the most Jews are gathered together in prayer, to memorialize and grieve for more recent events of Jews being murdered for being Jewish. Services I have attended have included references to or stories of the Inquisition, blood libel, pograms, and the Holocaust. The first Yom Kippur after the Tree of Life shooting, my synagogue read the names of all those murdered there with some information about their lives, which I found both devastating and powerful. Similarly, I am sure that as we approach the first Yom Kippur since October 7, many rabbis are preparing Eleh Ezkerah inserts in memory of the lives taken by Hamas. It is an intense part of an intense day.

Aside from Eleh Ezkerah, there are other ways in which martyrs are recognized and remembered in our liturgy and tradition. There is a version of the prayer for the dead (“E-l Maleh Rachamim/God Overflowing with Mercy”) recited at various points in the year, including at festivals, funerals, and on the anniversary of a death, specifically for remembering martyrs. (It’s actually more historically accurate to say that the E-l Maleh Rachamim for martyrs is the original, as it was written for the victims of the Crusades and the Chmielnicki massacres, and the more recognizable version used in Ashkenazi communities is derivative of that one, with the specific language about murder removed.) There is a long tradition of remembering all victims of antisemitic violence on Tisha b’Av, the anniversary of the destruction of the first and second temples as well as a date associated with many other devastating moments in Jewish history, including the defeat of the Jewish rebels against the Romans at Betar, the expulsion from Spain, and the start of the killing at the Treblinka death camp. We also have Yom HaShoa specifically for remembering and grieving those killed in the Holocaust. In the Middle Ages, there was a tradition of establishing a public fast following news of a blood libel or pogrom nearby as a ritual of communal grief. When we mention someone who has died, it’s traditional to add “may their memory be for a blessing” after their name, but when we’re mentioning a martyr, instead we say “may God avenge their blood.” In all these ways, we hold the memory of our martyrs close— not as a model or an ideal, but as an anchor for our most fervent prayer: Never again.

אֵֽלֶּה אֶזְכְּרָה וְנַפְשִׁי עָלַי אֶשְׁפְּכָה...

Each Yom Kippur we read Eleh Ezkarah, These I Remember, about the martyrs killed by the Romans for being Jews. But my shul always gives contemporary martyrs of antisemitism after the first verse, and I need you to know that I sobbed this year even more than normal because all of them, all of them were killed since I started going to shul six years ago. All of them except, of course, Rabbi Akiva.

That realization hit me like a landslide and stayed in my mind like a shadow until well after Ne'ilah.

For the victims of the Pittsburgh shooting, this year we read the poem "A Minyan Plus One."

At the end, we read a special Kaddish Yatom that interposes the names of the Holocaust death camps between the traditional words.

And I thought. Chaverim I thought, foolishly, that at least next year, I'd be ready.

"Fire Covenant" Rovina Cai

"Covenant of fire (Chamah חמה, Chokmah חכמה, Christ) created Eleh אלה (these archetypes) from ים Yam (Mi מי reversed, which is Mercury מרקורי) Ath HaShamayim (את השמים, the Akasha आकाश and the Prana प्राण, the Mercury) of the heavens and (Elah-Yam אלה-ים in the Vav, spinal medulla) Ath (the Akasha आकाश and the Prana प्राण, the Mercury of Secret Philosophy) of the earth (our male or female physicality). And (Vav-Hei וה) the earth (our male or female physicality) was formless and void; and darkness was upon the face of their abyss. And the Spirit (Brahma, Abraham) of Elohim (El-HaYam אל-הים and Elah-yam אלה-ים) hovered upon the face of (HaMayim המים) the waters (of Jah יה, which are, who - Mi מי, and what - Mah מה, the Mercury of Secret Philosophy)." - Genesis 1: 1

[hero-israel]

How many civilians should die in Gaza before it’s no longer worth it? Or is it always worth it? Is it worth it to keep pushing and killing and keep killing and keep killing and keep killing I. The hope that one day Hamas will be defeated? Do their lives just mean less inherently? Because they’re not Israeli?

I've been getting asks like this multiple times per week (and I'm not the only one). It gives the strong impression that a lot of kindly, goodthinking young people saw their political slogans and movements as purely therapeutic, substituting for the mental / communal reassurance of a God they don't believe in, instead of real statements on societal protection and the use of power.

Please think real hard about whether your political principles / orientation have ever involved any of the following:

"Magneto was right"

"Never again"

"Fuck that Confederate statue"

"Antifa / anti-fascist"

"Punch a Nazi"

anything involving guillotines

Then look into what had to be done to actually defeat slavery and fascism and Nazism - the latter in the "classical" sense, not the "chinless basement-dwelling blogger who never actually hurt anybody" sense. Have you been imagining all this time that there WEREN'T civilian casualties in Berlin? I realize this is not a great comparison, because what Israel is doing in Gaza is far more selective and merciful than what the Allies did. But you get the idea.

You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out...

You might as well appeal against the thunder storm as against these terrible hardships of war. They are inevitable, and the only way the people of Atlanta can hope once more to live in peace and quiet at home, is to stop the war, which can only be done by admitting that it began in error and is perpetuated in pride.

You have heretofor read public sentiment in your newspapers, that live by falsehood and excitement; and the quicker you seek for truth in other quarters, the better...  Now that the war comes home to you, you feel very different. You deprecate its horrors, but did not feel them when you sent car loads of soldiers and ammunition, and moulded shells and shot, to carry war into Kentucky and Tennessee, to desolate the homes of hundreds and thousands of good people who only asked to live in peace at their old homes...

Now you must go, and take with you the old and feeble, feed and nurse them, and build for them, in more quiet places, proper habitations to shield them against the weather until the mad passions of men cool down, and allow the Union and peace once more to settle over your old homes at Atlanta.

I decided to end my restriction today and eat something to see what my stomach does after restriction. With my partner coming over tomorrow afternoon I didn't want to have to eat around him and be violently sick so yeah this is what I've had

I hope to the gods that I don't wake up the 4lbs I lost back tomorrow.

I'll be doing some exercise later to work some of this off, I enjoy the Grow with Jo 10k steps video on YouTube I have just enough space in my micro apartment to do it.

Normally my eating habits are low calorie (under 1300)and low carb. I've been trying for a year and a half now to lose weight the "conventional" way of diet and exercise but no matter what I do outside of literally ⭐ING myself I don't lose the weight. I have pcos and now I'm in my 30s it's just difficult. I have bad joints with arthritis, elehers danlos syndrome and fibromyalgia so everything always hurts. I pushed myself and pushed myself into near burn out again over the last year trying to lose this weight, that I only have due to medication, pcos and an ex who had a feeder kink and would be abusive if I didn't eat what he gave me.

I don't want to be skinny for beauty I want to be skinny so I am repulsive to men like my ex.

I really enjoyed your drone album Task a whole lot! I have listened through it a dozen or so times and it was on my regular rotation for my bus ride to uni for quite a while.

I was wondering if you had any listening recommendations for albums or other musical works that inspired Task. I vaguely recall you mentioning some influences in a twitter thread a forever ago but I cannot seem to find it. I found Task's sound design and gradual development completely engrossing, and i would love to hear into some of the works that inspired it.

Task had a lot of influence from various experimental music I found as a teenager. Track 2 (the really annoying one) was inspired by Mika Vainio, particularly his weird ominous sound experiments from the 90s, with a little low rumbling inspired by Francisco Lopez's quiet pieces. Other parts of the album took from Eliane Radigue, ELEH, and CM Von Hausswolff in varying amounts.

I really loved making it, and its def my favorite album I released in 2022 in retrospect.

Otw tahun ketiga menjadi jomblo😌

Awal putus rasanya kehidupanku oleng banget. Ga ada sosok pertumpuan yg biasanya hal kecil aja aku minta tolong sama dia.

Eh sekarang apa apa mesti sendiri lagi, balik lagi menjadi roqfah si independent🥴

Jadi paham kenapa temenku dulu kalau putus susah move on. Bahkan banyak juga yang memilih cari pacar baru lagi karena ya memang sebergantung ituu😂

Punya pasangan membuatku sadar kalau ternyata rasa sayang ke orang tua, ke sahabat dekat, ke pasangan itu punya tempat masing-masing namun tetap sama letaknya di dalam hati. #ELEH

Jujurly, sebelumnya aku ga pernah pacaran. That was my first time fell in love & i hope it will be the last.

MAKSUDNYA BUKAN AKU NIKAH SAMA DIA

(( ...bbbaca ddddulu ya sampe akhiiiiiiiiir......))

Kenapa the last? Karena aku ga mau pacaran lagi. Alasanku putus pun karena alasan ini. Tiba-tiba Allah kasih rasa deg-degan kalau ini dosa besar. Kemaksiatan ini jangan dilanjutkan lagi😂

Kalau ditanya nyesel ga putus? Jawabannya enggaaa, jauh lebih tenang. Alhamdulillah. Dulu otakku isinya cowo terus perasaan. Bahkan selesai shalat, hal yang kulakuin adalah bales chat dia lagi wkwk.

Banyak banget teman-temanku yang menyayangkan kandasnya hubunganku sama dia. Bahkan waktu udah berlalu sejauh ini, dia dengan kehidupannya, aku juga dengan kehidupanku ada aja temen make sure wether if im okay or not.

Aku ngerti banget sih maksudnyaaa

Karena hubungan itu dulu sehat banget. Ga ada drama, kerjaannya belajar bareng wkwk. Eh tiba-tiba putussss ckckck🥲

Aku dan dia bahkan sampe mengakui salah satu alasan yang bisa bikin kuat menjalanin kuliah adalah hubungan ini🤣

Beneran terharu banget saat kelulusan bisa saling membersamai sejauh itu!

Tapiiiii life must go on~

Sama-sama ga nyangka akhirnya bakal putus. Ternyata fase aku sama dia udah cukup sampe di situ aja.

Aku udah move on beneran loh totally, tolong dipercaya ya friendssss😠👍🏻

Nulis kayak gini sbg bentuk apresiasiku atas hubungan yang pernah dijalani saat itu dan sebagai bukti kalau aku udah berdamai dengan masa lalu.

I remember him as a good friend, and i hope he does the same way too.

Dan kalau ditanya gimana sekarang rasanya jomblo? Jawabannya totally happy!😋

Sekarang aku malah menganggap fase kesendirian ini sebagai my golden single era🤣

Karena kalau nanti udah nikah, hopefully i will be forever taken right? Nah berarti ini masa-masa terakhirku dong menjadi diriku sendiri, bebas mau ngapain. Apalagi udah gede dan kerja, orang tua udah bisa lebih melepaskan aku maunya ngapain.

Jadi paham juga kenapa banyak orang bilang puas-puasin masa muda dulu. Biar nanti pas udah nikah dan punya anak, ga ada lagi penyesalan kenapa dulu ga begini dan begitu.

Sekarang aku cuma berprinsip apapun keputusan yg kuambil, aku harus berpikir dulu kira-kira keputusan ini akan membuatku menyesal ga di masa datang? Kira-kira yang aku lakukan ini bisa membuatku lebih baik apa engga?

Intinya mindful dan be present.

Kalaupun nanti ada keliru yaudah gpp, toh aku saat ngambil keputusan itu udah berpikir sebaik mungkin yang aku bisa lakukan saat itu kan?

Oh iya, jangan lupa untuk selalu libatkan Allah dalam setiap keputusan!!😗☝🏻

Ga bisa dipungkiri kalau lihat berita retaknya rumah tangga akhir-akhir ini suka bikin ketrigger.

Namun aku mau tetep percaya kalo nanti akan dipertemukan dengan sosok yg sekufu dengan aku, dia yang lebih baik daripada aku. Dia yang memiliki tujuan menikah untuk meraih ridho Allah juga.

Hihihi manifesting~
