The funny difference between protestantism (what I grew up with) and judaism is how both conceive of work

For many protestant-influenced scenarios, you must work - the sabbath day? That's just another weekend to spend as you please (work. chores, which is work, too). There's no real excuse to stop working, working is inherently G-dly and Good.

Judaism? Don't you even think about working on the hours of shabbos. (Certain) Holidays? Same deal. Actually, working is explicitly impermissible, g-d literally said so.

Anyway, I just think those small differences in how work and what constitutes work contributes to attitudes about working. I don't think protestantism or judaism are inherently like those examples, just that in my experience, the protestant attitude towards work is that it is what makes you worthy, good, and holy and non-work (laziness, sloth) is A Sin.

Here's a photo of an observant Yemenite Jew blowing a shofar. This photo was taken in the 1930s in the Land of Israel.

"Oh wow OP sounds like you weren't Their Good Jew™ enough to avoid experiencing antisemitism in antizionist spaces, I guess you'll change your mind about antizionism now!"

Actually this is so crazy, but my political activism isn't actually based on what will personally benefit me or if I'm rewarded for it, but is in fact a reflection of my moral compass and what I think is right. Way to tell on yourself that your political views and activism are 100% based on other people's approval and what you think will personally benefit you best, though! Couldn't be me.

My favorite part about the High Holy Days is that the Torot get to wear their holiday best 🥰

“We are all Zionists. In our services, in our prayers, three times a day we mention the name of Zion and we hope for the rebuilding of Zion.”

–Rav Meir Franco, the only Sephardic Rabbi to survive the 1929 Hevron pogrom

צֶ֥דֶק צֶ֖דֶק תִּרְדֹּ֑ף לְמַ֤עַן תִּֽחְיֶה֙ וְיָרַשְׁתָּ֣ אֶת־הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לָֽךְ׃

I tried to break my fast with a BLT but my goy husband burned the bacon and i took that as a sign from the big guy and kept fasting till dinner where I had very kosher fish and sake wine with my family.

I'm not usually kosher or superstitious but I'm not about to ignore a warning shot when it's clearly communicated. i took the hint.

Whether or not I was actually gonna end up going to services today was kind of a toss up (I don’t wake up early and it’s like an hour drive to the synagogue I go to for HHD), but basically I woke up this morning, took my meds, got some water, and pretty much promptly went back to bed and slept for like 3 more hours

Gut yontiff, g’mar chatima tova, Shana tova, Shabbat Shalom

If you’re fasting: may your fast be easy and meaningful. If you aren’t: may this day be holy and meaningful. May all of us be inscribed in the Book of Life, and may we all have a peaceful 5785.

dipping out on the porch and taking bong rips with your boyfriend, older brother and cousins from a menorah bong for Chanukkah late at night is good for the soul and is oh so healing.

When the grocery store knows something Jewish is happening but they don’t know what. Here, have some matzo-halvah-Dr Browns-yahrzeit candles. Hey, they don’t eat wheat at their holidays, right? Throw some rice cakes in there, too.

Shana Tovah! 🍎🍯 Happy Rosh Hashanah from your anti-Zionist Jew! 🍉🍉🍉 Gaza should be free and Palestine is its own country! Enjoy my apples that were on sale, frozen bread dough, Walmart honey, and pomegranate juice (bc who has the money for the fruit itself)

As we approach Jerusalem Day this Wednesday, let’s reflect on a verse that captures the essence of our connection to Jerusalem:

"If I forget you, Jerusalem..." is how this powerful declaration starts.

We say the complete verse in Jewish weddings just before the groom breaks the glass — a symbol of joy mingled with our historical sorrows;

A testament to the enduring bond between the Jewish people and their holy city;

A promise of remembrance and devotion that has echoed through the ages.

This Sunday’s email will be dedicated to Jerusalem, and as part of it - I will dive into the full verse, exploring its significance and teaching it in Hebrew.

Here's to you, Jerusalem! 🥂

Yeah yeah twitters the bad place but also if you comment on an nhl team’s tweet for Hanukkah with two Jewish players “please tell me they aren’t Zionist” that’s not like. Progressive. That’s literally just antisemitic and you should be embarrassed and go be sad in your basement bc no one invited you to their holiday party.

Material wealth is worthless

Riches profit not in the day of wrath; But righteousness delivereth from death. — Proverbs 11:4 | JPS Tanakh 1917 (JPST) The Holy Scriptures according to the Masoretic text; Jewish Publication Society 1917. Cross References: Genesis 7:1; Proverbs 6:34; Proverbs 10:2; Ezekiel 7:19; Zephaniah 1:18

Notes: Simply put, financial security means nothing to God when the calendar reads, “the day of wrath.” If a person is not forgiven in Christ Jesus, it won't matter what his net worth is. If a person dies in his sin the wrath of Almighty God abides upon him and no amount of money can pay God off.
