#I don't know what the Jewish convert tag is

[shalom-iamcominghome]

This isn't, like, the biggest deal, but I do find it funny when people are almost... surprised or shocked that converts unironically believe in judaism and also unironically align themselves with jewishness. It's just something I've seen a small handful of times and it's like... of course I (and others!) unironically believe in this stuff. I'm not putting in this work because I don't have enough going on in my life

[medicinemane]

also a legit favor to ask

please don't pray for me. it honestly makes me uncomfortable

i try not to bring it up cause i don't want to be an ass but... like i'm nothing, i don't believe in shit cause i just kinda don't care what comes after, too much going on here and now to deal with (too many people in trouble that need help and that's... that's the question that interests me... how to help, i just don't think about stuff after death enough to have an opinion and it's not like i'll know)

like understand, i don't like bringing this up cause i see too many of those asshole atheists that shit on prayer when it's like... buddy, i ain't gonna tell other people how to live their lives

but you gotta understand the context that stuff exists in, of very much a vocal portion of us christians wanting to do exactly that, tell me how to live my life based on things they believe but i don't... that's it, that's why i prefer not to be prayed for

cause i don't believe and just... lotta times where my views aren't respected on faith, at least on the big scale by certain groups, so for me... if there's a god (which i got no opinion on in either direction) i'd rather not have my name in their ear... i ain't part of nothin, i ain't asking for help or salvation, pray for all the people really suffering in this world instead cause they're the ones who need help

so listen, i'm not gonna get mad if you pray for me, i'm just tossing it out there that it's not my thing and it kinda makes me uncomfortable

just in a mood where i feel like saying this is all. not about anything or anyone, just a thought i forget why i even had it... it's just not for me, and if it's real important to you that's fine, but it's not for me

(clarification: anyway; i hope the take away from this post is what i want it to be; that if praying for me really makes you feel better that's fine, but it's not what i care for, though my opinions aren't solid enough that it's like hurtful or something)

Someone from Jewish tumblr please translate for the rest of us??

mishegascleo Follow 11h ago

So it's a TikTok (from the official Moon Girl account, don't think she and the Moon Knights are actually affiliated, but I guess they team up sometimes?) of a Moon Knight saying a long paragraph that basically boils down to "don't be a jerk on the internet."

The reason Jewish Tumblr is flipping out about it is, this 1-minute video is packed with bits of Yiddish and Hebrew. Some highlights:

mishegas = insanity, craziness, wackiness

geneivat da'at = lying or misrepresenting something, literally "stealing knowledge"

kvetching = complaining

mitzvah = a commandment, specifically a good deed that Jewish people are commanded to do

schmuck = a dick, in both the literal and figurative senses

lashon hara = callout culture (no seriously, it's when you spread bad news about people that's factually accurate, but you're not doing it to help anyone or improve a situation, you're just reveling in the drama)

mishpocheh = family, including chosen family

And he uses them all right! And he's talking so fast, but the pronunciation is spot-on. There's no acCENT on the wrong sylLABle. Even if someone else wrote it for him, he wouldn't be that casually fluid if this wasn't a mode he was already used to talking in.

ORTHODOX MOON KNIGHT IS JEWISH, Y'ALL. And not a new convert (this is not a dig at converts, you are loved and valid!), but someone who grew up in a community that talked like this. My heart.

#superhero stuff tag #Moon Knights #the others aren't in the video but he implies they're Jewish too #this is the least important thing about all this but-- #it is officially kosher to call them Orthodox and Reform now #see what I did there

mishegascleo Follow 6h ago

Seeing a whole lot of schmucks in the replies going "no ACTUALLY he pronounced such-and-such wrong."

Well, I am here to tell you that Jewish people are found in all different regions and cultures! What you are hearing is a specific accent, not "pronouncing things wrong." Hope that helps!

#not gonna try to pin down the exact accent #that feels uncomfortably close to doxxing #let's just say I know a few people who pronounce stuff EXACTLY the same way #and leave it at that

I'm feeling really frustrated. My mom identifies as Jewish, but she grew up in Poland during communism in the '70s, and told me that it was really unsafe to be Jewish at the time (I think she also implied that her mom/my grandmother converted away from Judaism to Catholicism?) And like, my mom tells me I'm Jewish, too, but ... I'm not really observant and don't keep kosher. I want to go to synagogue, but the nearest ones from me are far away. It might change when I go away to college, but I just want to be a "true" Jew, y'know? Like the kind that posts about going to synagogue and having fun with my friends on Purim and examines the Torah even though I don't really believe in the events (what attracted me to Judaism was the community aspect and what my family members were killed for. I also really like learning, and debating different aspects of things. But I present as female so I might not be able to find that at a more conservative shul?)

I know that there's an easy fix to this (being just doing more research), but as a lonely person ... I feel like being in an environment with other people who hold the same faith and understand the same struggles might help.

Sorry if this is a jumbled mess. I've been feeling really worn down by the antisemitism and anti-Israeli propaganda I've seen lately. Thanks for having this blog open, venting has really helped. You're awesome <3

Hi anon, it can be really hard for descendants of Jewish people who had to hide or convert for their safety to find their way back. But just know you are a real Jew. I hope you can learn and find a community and joy in Judaism. It really helps to make more Jewish friends, either here on jumblr, in a synagogue you might attend in the future, a discord server, wherever.

In fact I'll tag this with the jumblr tag, jumblr people do your thing. Reblog or comment with encouragement and advice if you want, or just let anon know if you're free to be messaged to make a new friend!!

Best of luck and welcome back home.

[transmascpetewentz]

Hi ! so I’ve asked this question to a few other blogs just to get different opinions from other Jews and I think your blog is another great place to ask this. I'm a transman who wants to convert to Judaism. Morespecifically I want to fully transition and be a typical orthodox Jewish man who prays at shul, wears tzitzit, puts on tefillin ect but I'm so scared/ nervous and honestly don't know how to go about it. Cause I'm aware that you have to get the ritual circumcision and I obviously as a trans man don't have a natural p*nis so I'm just really looking for advice on what do and what not to do. And also if there are any examples of any trans orthodox men in history at all. Sorry if this is such a loaded ask but I just feel like this is a very safe space. Thank you !

well trans orthodox men do exist, but 99% of the time they were born jewish or at least didn't convert whilst already being trans. i would also advise against lying. while some modox shuls i've heard are good, i'm not going to sugarcoat it, you're going to have an extremely difficult time and experience a lot of transphobia while trying. however, i am not an expert, nor do i have as much experience with orthodox judaism, so I'll tag jumblr for more opinions

[fictionkinfessions]

Anonymous asked: i asked this some place else but ima ask her too so maybe i'll get more ot a response

im a fictionkin (fictive? idk both fit really) and i am super attatched to my source but in my source i was jewish, and i know u can just. convert to a religion you believe in but im the only one in the system who has this belief system and i feel so horrible about it. i don't wanna seem like i'm using a belief system as a quirky silly thing and i don't wanna mislead other jewish folk so i don't talk about it online anymore and i feel guilty practicing it in private irl

any jewish folk out there got any advice? what do i do? i don't always front and i know these folk wont keep up with it (some said they would try for me but its not really any garuntee yk?) while i'm away and I can cope with that I suppose (can't really not haha) but . how do i go about this in the least offensive way possible. i am in no way ethnically jewish (tho i have some jewish family menbers , shoutout to them) and will never claim to be this is more about the religious side of things!

. is it worth embracing this part of myself if people may be harmed by our situation? idk:(

(also, its not like snyone irl wuld know. as it is not safe for us to express any religion really outside of what our family believs:/. but if i had my way i WOULD go thru the entire process of converting and have looked into it)

( again, i am not claiming any jewish his heritage nor the culture or anything. this is about the faith. ethnic jewish folk doesnt always equal religiously jewish folk and vice versa. i just wanna know how to express my faith in the most best way possible. if thats even possible!:( )

-zara anon (u dont have to tag this if u dont want i just wanna be able to search for it)

party note everything is fine I'm just posting this as a text post because you accidentally used the f slur as a typo [omg?! lollerskates?!]

[krazykennyshow-season2]

Jewish people,namely south park fans I'm sick of the debate goyim keep having over this one, Goy speaking over you and saying Kyle is bad rep. This debate its not ours to have , its yours.

Please ONLY jews vote on this. id especially like the opinion of ethnic jews if possible. Converts are of course welcome and eveeyone is encouraged to speak in the tags.

However, this is not a debate about south park as a whole. For any anti- SPers that know next to nothing about the show- Matt Stone is ethnically jewish.

Please let me know if any of this is worded strangely! I have a hard time with what im trying to say a lot. (The tism)

[hindahoney]

Hey, I hope you have a nice day :)

I am considering converting but I'll take some more time to overthink that. What do you think are some, or many, questions I should ask myself, before deciding?

I saw some people recommend to just go to a rabbi, even if you are not 100% sure, but since there are very little jewish people in my country, and only a handful of conversions a year, I assume it'll be something new for a rabbi too and I don't want to bother anyone.

So, I think this is a good time to address this. This is absolutely not because of this specific anon, but it's something that I get sent asks about on a daily basis.

I am no longer going to be answering questions about conversions. I will answer any other questions or concerns about Judaism, but I'm not giving advice about converting anymore. There's a few reasons for this. Namely because it's too close to proselytizing for me. Even though anons are coming to me to ask questions, I never want to come off like I am advocating for or influencing people to become Jewish.

I have answered the same questions multiple times, and still to this day get the same ones. I tag all of my stuff, so if someone really wanted to know something about conversions they should do the work to just search through my blog for what I have already said. It's not just me, either. Essentially any Jewish blogger has, at one point, had gentiles sending them questions about conversion unprompted. I strongly believe that if you really wanted to learn about Judaism, that if you were sincere and serious about converting, you should at least read up a little online before going to ask basic questions to random Jews online. Not every Jewish person is comfortable with this, not every Jewish person should be expected to be the spokesperson for the tribe.

Every question about conversion can be answered with "Ask your Rabbi." If you have too much anxiety or other obstacles in your way that prevent you from speaking to a Rabbi, you cannot convert, and that's your answer.

By no means does this mean that I don't like or appreciate converts. I've made a lot of posts in support and admiration for those who have completed the process. But at this point almost all of the asks I get are from people asking me basic questions about conversion that 1. I have answered multiple times, and 2. That would take a quick Google search to find the answer for. If you're not willing to put in the work for a Google search, or for a search through my or other bloggers tags about conversion, you do not have the drive to get through the conversion process. Which is fine, it isn't meant for everyone! But expecting a random Jew online to do the legwork for you isn't fair. I've taken many hours (weeks, if you include reading through all of them) compiling sources of books, podcasts, websites, etc all dedicated to learning about Judaism and have posted links to all of them. There are a million books out there for really any question you might have, even free articles from places like Chabad, Sefaria, or myjewishlearning.

If you have specific questions, other than just "advice about converting?" I will gladly answer those, but I will no longer be answering question about conversion resources, how to convert, should I convert, etc.

[shalom-iamcominghome]

What led you to decide conversion to Judaism was "for you"?

I'll preface this post by saying that you are, essentially, asking to open a Pandora's box - this is an inherently huge question to ask, and I only request that you keep this in mind when I talk about this. I'm completely open to this discussion, though! I am absolutely happy to talk about my journey because it is so deeply personal and fulfilling,

I was raised in a Lutheran family - I was baptized, but I was never really... required to go to church. We'd gone before, my dad and I, but I don't remember this because I was young. However, what I do remember is just not believing in any of it. I never truly believed in Jesus, I'd only said I did. Despite having little pressure put on me in a religious aspect, I'd always just assumed that I should please my family. I went to Jesus camp (a moniker for the religious camp I'd gone to a few times), and I went to a handful of confirmation classes. As I understand it, Lutherans practice confirmation in order to educate young adults about the religion, and by the end, the person decides if this is right for them. I dropped out completely, and honestly, it was simply due to "I believe none of this besides g-d."

Once I had consciously admitted to myself that I really could not reconcile my disbelief, I decided to disconnect completely from all forms of xtianity. I mostly kept to myself and didn't even interrogate my feelings about g-d or religion at all.

After a while, I realized that I truly knew nothing else besides xtianity. I always thought it was my duty as a person to learn about others to accept them. I started throwing myself into education about other religions. Now that I think about it, I think part of myself really did want to connect with something that felt right in my soul. For a while, I didn't find that. Once I started learning about what were the true basics of Judaism, I felt a strange and indescribable feeling, really for the first time ever.

My journey into Judaism really began on an intellectual level. I truly jived with what I was learning - I remember one of my big issues with xtianity was the idea of "spreading the Good News," or proselytizing. I think learning that about judaism was what made me realize that there was something out there that I could logically understand. I loved the cultural understanding of disagreement - that you can even disagree with g-d and not be sent to Hell For All Eternity. I loved that observing mitzvot wasn't really a strict dogma. It was a process we all undertake on some level. I'd say that the common attitude held in the xtain spaces I was exposed to all my life (that is - "all of this is strict dogma, and no questions are deemed acceptable.") really made me appreciate the intellectualism that judaism often fulfills. By nature, I want to disagree with others, explain, agree, and ultimately learn, and I loved the culture of education.

I'd say much of the emotional attachment I now have to judaism came later. There is only so much you can appreciate about judaism from the sidelines, and once I got involved in my community, I truly learned this. Much of my love for judaism is simple - it's everyday life, really.

I think what made me decide so soon that judaism was right is because I am trans. I am no stranger to this feeling, I just had never felt it about religion. It's a deep, soul-level understanding of belonging. It's a feeling you can never do justice to through word alone. I've felt this before, and I know this is a feeling that I cannot simply ignore. It's something you can only grab hold of and never let go. It is a primal understanding within your entire being - at least it is for me.

Because of this, there is so much that I have not touched upon here, but I think I've been rambling for long enough. Again, I welcome any and (almost) all questions that may be remaining. So much of my decision about judaism came down to exposing myself to conversion stories and thoughts about judaism from jews, and if there is a chance I might be even a little like that, I will always welcome it!

They can't get enough of you lol. It's not like you're purposefully tagging the Zionist posts with anti ts posts, they saw a jew and went actually ❤️ they don't know what they're talking about, i know better than them. JVP is good because it aligns with what I want to believe In.

Sad for the "many jewish friends that stand against Israel" though.

ah yes, another goy mad that a jew disagrees with them about what is and isn’t antisemitic like they have any leg to stand on. mentioning their token jewish friends is pretty typical.

JVP believes all you have to do to be jewish is just start saying you’re jewish. AS A JEWISH PERSON, that is fucking wrong and antisemitic. ask any jewish person who was born jewish or actually converted and they will tell you the same fucking thing. has this bitch heard that they also don’t know the difference between arabs and egyptians? that’s pretty racist, no?

if some random goy wants to bitch and whine and label me a zionist (derogatory) because they don’t know what they’re talking about and want to seem like they have the moral high ground to all their other goy antisemite friends, i do not give a single flying fuck. I’m gonna keep doing what I’m doing. if anyone wants to actually learn about what’s going on, they can listen to actual jews and the palestinian people of gaza whose majority voted in favor of a two state solution. so, if you’re advocating for the destruction of israel bc “from the river to the sea”, you’re going against the wishes of the people in gaza who actually have to deal with the consequences of whatever america leftists decide to meddle with. if they can sleep at night knowing they’re not only fucking it up for jews, but also the palestinians they claim they love so much, then they’re no one i care about. palestine deserves freedom from hamas to make its own decisions. if you disagree, you’re not for a free palestine.

You don't know me from a hole in the wall, but I follow the jumblr tag. May I say:

SIMCHA TOV! MAZEL TOV!

Welcome to the tribe! Welcome to the family! Congratulations on finding your way home to us, and we are so much better as a worldwide Jewish family and nation for it. Rosh HaShanah is almost upon us, and it is so lucky that you finalized your journey to your soul's home in time to celebrate 5784 with us.

Enjoy the simply ridiculous amounts of apples and honey. 🍎🍯

Thank you so much! @niqaeli, who was one my my witnesses, has told me a few times that random internet strangers say mazel tov, but what she means is she told her discord servers why she was out visiting me and people she knows there that I don't sent their congratulations. This is a whole new level of random internet stranger!

I love how much I've been welcomed. A place to belong was a huge part of what I was looking for when I reached out to my local shul, and I've been made welcome by the people here, by jewish community online through classes I've attended, and by a whole host of internet strangers who only know about me that I chose to convert! You all make me feel so loved. I am so glad to count myself among you.

Shalom! Shanah tovah for the coming year!

[springstarfangirl]

Hiya! I'm trying to write a Jewish character, can I have some help please? I really want to make her good positive representation

Sure thing! Though do keep in mind that I am only one girl from one stream of a religion that has itself a history of over three millennia, so I can only speak for what I know, that being Orthodox Judaism.

(also this is getting quite long, but I don't know what I expected- the rest is going under the cut.)

So one thing to keep in mind is that Judaism is more than just a religion. It's also a culture, and even just being raised around it- even if your character is secular (doesn't perform the commandments) or atheist/agnostic (doesn't believe God exists/doesn't know if God exists)- it will very much affect your character's mindset and possibly show up in their life in other ways.

In fact, the reason why I separated secular from atheist/agnostic is part of that- Judaism, due to putting more emphasis on the doing than the believing, doesn't really care if you actually believe in God. There are people who very much perform Judaism as a cultural ritual more than as a religion, and they are just as valid as the people who believe that God is there in every corner.

Okay, so what kind of cultural mentalities can you add?

For instance, the idea of proselytizing is forbidden in Judaism. So the way charity differs from tzedaka can be huge. Tzedaka comes from the root word tzedek, justice, and is seen as a way to help someone who's down on their luck to get back on their feet. Not an opportunity to convince them to join your religion. *stares angrily at American charity orgs*

This has a massive effect on how Jewish people see the world. Giving to and helping other people makes us happy, and that in itself is reward enough.

On the more cultural aspect, the menorahs you always see on TV shows? Inaccurate. Those are specific to one holiday, Chanukkah, which is not only a rather minor holiday but is also sometimes viewed as the "Jewish Christmas" when it really isn't. Instead, what any Jewish household would really have is books, and lots of them. The way we view the Tanach is very different from how a lot of Christians view the Bible- it's rarely literal- and so often you'll find a lot of books about Jewish law hanging around. Also, prayer books and candlesticks. Adult Jewish men are supposed to pray three times a day, so someone is bound to leave their prayer book lying around. And the candlesticks are from the "ceremony" (I say, struggling to find a better word) where we welcome Shabbat on Friday just before sunset. A lot of families keep them out all week.

Food is also massively important. Do your research on what's kosher and what's not (though if your character is Reform this may not apply as much- again, I speak from my own experience only) and try to stick to that. That might involve a Jewish character avoiding eating outside the house unless it's a packaged item (which they might check for kashrut symbols), or whispering a blessing before they eat. Kosher meat and cheese are both very hard to find outside of places with a lot of Jews, so they might be vegetarian.

I can't think of anything else right now, so I'll tag @unbidden-yidden because as a convert, they have much more experience with the mindset distinctions between Christianity and Judaism.

Jumblr, feel free to throw all your additions at this post- I need all the help I can get.

I hope this helped at least a little!

* Unapologetically queer, accepting of complex identities I don't understand, all pronouns, microlabels, macrolabels, objectum, orientation, etc. Asexual/Aromantic spectrum inclusionist, kink/fetish friendly. Pro-RACK (Risk Aware Consentual Kink), not liking the term "sane" in SSC (Safe, Sane, Consentual). This is not a kink blog by any means, tho.

* Calling traumatised sex work survivors SWERFS/bigots for being critical of sex work or hating people who benefit from it (customers, pimps) is NOT radical. Sex Work that traumatises, exploits poverty, oppression or addiction needs to be abolished asap. I don't give a shit about Johns or their opinions.

Wow, you know so much about Lucy, but what about the other YB characters? (Don, TK)

[I've info dumped Don lore plenty. It can be found in the tags under Don and YB Lore or just Lore. But I think I haven't given TK's info so enjoy this nugget of lore.]

TK has had a rather proper upbringing. Granted, they grew up in a foster home because they didn't have parents. But the foster home TK was settled in basically adopted them. It was a Christian home, but they firmly believed that God's flock is made up of more than one type of sheep. So they simply adored and supported TK in every way. Laid back, responsible, caring. TK hardly ever thinks of themselves, focusing more on those they care about. They can seem like a pushover, but TK knows full well when to stand their ground and push back if tested. They are on the instinctual side when it comes to people, easily reading their body language. In general, TK is a sweetheart who will fight anyone who tries to harm you. Upon turning 18, TK took up a job as a Teacher's aid at a preschool. They did enjoy it, however, the salary was anything but desirable. So TK took on other odd jobs. From cashier, janitor, housekeeping, and security. On their days off, TK loved to practice their drum skills, though it had to be the electrical kind so they didn't bother the neighbors. If Y/N were a single parent, TK would gladly be a parent with them. TK's means of self-defense is a handgun. TK is easy to fluster since they already have a big crush on you. A little kiss on the cheek will leave them bright red. But once they're able to shake that off, expect gentle and tender kisses to come from them. TK's biological parents still stay in contact. They even try to visit TK once a month. The character's sex drive...TK: Low. TK is not much for wanting to rush things to bed. If anything, a good cuddle will leave them fully satisfied. But when things do get heated, TK is very gentle and takes things slowly. How would each character feel about a supportive significant other? (example: jogging together, working out together, both on the same diet, etc.) TK: All for it. TK grew up in a home where everyone does everything together, so they don't mind if their SO is happy to do the same. Though TK was never converted into the faith, they do love celebrating it with their older brother who is Jewish. They will celebrate Christmas, though they feel that the Christmas holiday is a little too artificial for their taste. TK dyed their hair green only because they lost a bet with the Boss. But TK loves the look so much, they kept it ever since. No, the Boss wasn't trying to be an ass. He's pretty chill most days. TK seems straight-up vanilla but secretly loves some furry porn. TK's ideal date is just snuggling on the sofa with you, wrapped in blankets and pillows, watching your favorite show or playing your favorite game. The two of you turn your phones off so that there are no sudden calls to work, no one asking favors or even scam callers. When the two of you get hungry, you both make something together, something simple that doesn't require much effort like opening a can of soup or snacking on whatever is in the pantry. Eventually, the two of you drift off to sleep, curled up against one another. TK will happily make you breakfast in the morning, maybe call in sick so the two of you can repeat the day. TK is a wholesome tender lover. TK's favorite game, which isn't a video game, is Uno. You know how Peter is cat-like and can purr? Well, the other characters also have traits that mimic their animal counterparts. Don/bear can growl. Lucy/cougar can hiss. And TK/wolf can howl.

after much ethnographic immersion, i have determined that as of 2022, there's actually a roughly equal number of erik stans & charles stans in the current cherik fandom. they just happen to exist in entirely separate spheres & seem to be unaware that the other group exists. if you are suffering from fandom fatigue as a result of feeling that everyone else woobifies your unfavorite, i recommend some kind of cultural exchange that would expose you to a different circle of cherik shippers, because the one thing we can all agree on is that anons whining that everyone else in fandom is so stupid & wrong & annoying is possibly the most annoying thing of all.

My #1 post of 2022

but ALSO ON THE OTHER HAND the failure of telepathy. erik who is like "ah so he knows i am a monster" and just goes on like that glumly but also doesn't bother telling charles anything about himself because he already knows, surely he already knows. erik who makes charles his arbitrator of what is good and moral and thinks A Good Person Would Be Against Me Killing Shaw even knowing that he killed my mom, experimented on me, that his death is the only thing that has allowed me to keep putting one foot in front of the other instead of just lying down and dying, this man who knows everything about me and therefore gives me exactly what i am worth and it is the tenderness of friendship but no more, it is sitting three feet away from me in his study. and meanwhile charles is like :) can't wait to get to know him as a real person more than just what my telepathy can tell me because charles knows better than anyone that it doesn't matter what you think and that who you are is defined by what you choose to do (which is why he should convert and not just to give edie the satisfaction of marrying her child off to a nice jewish boy)
