Funny things about being in jewish culture™

You absolutely cannot expect jews to (1) stay on a topic topic or (2) be concise. The notion of "having a topic" to talk about is merely a suggestion (apparently, this includes me)

Jewish time means you're transported into a universe where time doesn't exist. Every shul has to have a portal to a different plane of oblivion - it's as important as having the scrolls in the ark

You might only know someone by their hebrew name and consider if they will look at you weird if you call them by it outside of shul

There is a latent jewish mother hiding in everyone and that mother will arise like a sleeper agent if someone has deduced that you aren't eating enough during any potential communal meals

Why so many puns

Why are all of you as sarcastic as me...

The one person who's actually fluent in hebrew flexing their superior language comprehension (diaspora)

Celebrating having a minyan

Singing prayers to popular children's songs

It's surprisingly normal to ask about someone's bris if it comes up

There are seven people in the building, yet I thought there were twenty

Hey major shout-out to my fellow trans Jews. This year has been hell and it's hard not to feel like we've been completely abandoned, betrayed, shut out, and made unsafe across the full political spectrum.

I'm so sorry; we deserved better. I hope you're okay and standing strong - we will get through this together 🕎 🏳️‍⚧️ ✡️

So there is this post, claiming that a Japanese hotel is being review bombed, because they refused a man service for being an IDF soldier.

People ate this up of course. At the time of the writing, it has over 12,000 reblogs. Lots of people praising the hotel staff for ~taking a brave stand~ and such.

But, you know, I thought it was a little weird, that the only source the post includes is... Nothing! OP just claims it was from "an israeli group".

So, of course, I decided to do some checking.

Turns out the hotel manager had no fucking idea whether the tourist had ties to the Israeli army or not.

[...] since the hotel did not inquire about the guest's military background at the time of booking, it appeared the reservation was canceled solely based on the guest's Jewish or Israeli name. [...]

So the OP of the above post is already intentionally misrepresenting the situation by claiming the hotel was only refusing to serve Israeli soldiers. (and we don't even know if the guy was a soldier...) But twelve thousand people thought that this was legit.

Great to know twelve thousand people on this website feel that xenophobia and racial profiling are justifiable and even praiseworthy!

Ok cool cool cool cool. Yep. Just another normal day.

Remember to love and support jewish people always too. I have seen jews missing from many support posts going around and I think it is important to say too<3

It’s been so disheartening hearing that there’s a member of my shul—a Jewish studies professor no less!—who’s been incredibly rude and disrespectful to my rabbi on social media because she thinks he’s being too “pro-Israel” and not “pro-Palestinian” enough (regardless of the fact that he has us pray for both Israeli and Gazan citizens as well as anyone else who’s been harmed by violence and disaster throughout the world, and regardless of the fact that our shul has hosted multiple peace organizations including one that had a Palestinian man and an Israeli settler rabbi talk about how they came together to work for a pro-peace organization in the West Bank). My shul, and my rabbi, is one of the most nuanced and balanced Jewish communities I’ve experienced while still acknowledging and affirming our connection to Israel (most of us have close friends, family, or are even from Israel), and yet that’s still not enough for this woman, to the point where she refuses to have a respectful conversation about it with community members and just rudely walks out whenever the rabbi talks (apparently that’s what’s been happening, though I wasn’t paying much attention to her since people often walk in and out of services). Like, whose opinion is she trying to change here? (In fact, if her goal is to get more people to agree with her, then she’s achieving quite the opposite lol wtf)

But then again she is just one person, and we had probably over a hundred people today respectfully hearing our rabbi talk about Rachel Goldberg-Polin and Hersh, whom some people in my community have a direct connection to, and when he started crying at the end, many of us were crying too.

will byers stans who “hc” jaeden mantell as will are bullshitters because they still use pictures of noah and some of them probably just want to see finn and jaeden kiss if they shipped bill and richie back in the IT days

So I learned the reason why my dad (and some other xtians) believes a rabbi has to bless things to make them kosher is because priests actually do bless things and those things become Super Special

Like, he said that the bread they get for communion is bought from a supermarket and then is blessed by the pastor, and the moment she blesses it, it cannot be tossed - it has to be used up. So somebody took the leftover Holy Bread and made a grilled cheese out of it, which is... actually, it's iconic. Imagine having Holy Grilled Cheese

I'm going to go lay in bed, scream in anxiety for a moment, and then watch TikTok.

Next Day ETA: Once again, I am not good enough. It would be nice if I'd at least been told why, though.

still thinking about rage!kyana like. the way that it didn't quite click with me unti halfway through the conversation that the rage is why she's acting like this. her rage comes out as COLD and TERRIFYING and it's just a deep sense of "i need to finish this" and the lines blurring between her doing this for her friends, and her doing it as personal catharsis for HERSELF because cressida has already been rescued. and on top of that!! the fact that this rage is what unlocked another layer of the mystery to kyana's origins? terrifying! AND LINKING THIS TO HER THREATS TO ENDELLION AT THE END OF S3???? i cant remember the specific phrasing but like "if my friends need me to be a weapon today, i'm okay with that" AAAARGH I AM CLAWING AT THE WALLS I LOVE THIS IT'S CAUSING ME IMMENSE PAIN WHAT THE FUCK. AAAAAAAAA

For the person who told me to be quiet in response to my post on the situation with Gaza, you know? I don't think I will.

THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT IS COMMITTING WAR CRIMES.

The Israeli people are not to blame, Jewish people are not to blame, the rank and file soldiers of the Israeli military are not to blame for the actions of the Israeli government. The Israeli government and other governments that support it shoulder 100% of the blame.

HAMAS IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION.

The Palestinian people, Arabs, Muslims, and any other group people might relate to them are, in fact, not to blame for Hamas' actions. Hamas and any government or organization that supports them shoulder 100% of the blame.

Just to put that into nice, small, concise chunks for you.
