[the-catboy-minyan]

due to a certain asshole spewing bullshit in spacelazarwolf's notes, I wanna emphasize something:

YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW HEBREW TO BE JEWISH

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LEARN HEBREW TO BE JEWISH

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WANT TO LEARN HEBREW TO BE JEWISH

the only thing you need to be Jewish is to be Jewish. a Jew is a Jew.

(this message does not include messianic jews)

Me and who!!!

A YouTube video just dropped explaining the evolution of Jewish "denominations" (movements) from the Bible times until now. It's fairly American-centric once you get to modern time but still useful.

shalom!! you can call me Eli (for Eliezer) if you need to put a name to my presence. this is my Judaism blog, for anything that relates, probably primarily books (i now have a stack of Jewish books and am slowly working my way through it TwT), art, fashion, cooking, meditation, anything!

i am:

༄.° 18 years old, been considering conversion since i was around 15

༄.° blessed to be genderqueer. my pronouns are she/her, he/him, xe/xem/xyr, fin/fins, gill/gills, cer/cers, in no particular order

༄.° a prospective convert - i currently am not in the best position to convert as i live out of town of the Conservative synagogue i am hoping to convert through, but i am trying (and really really hoping) to make it work

༄.° hoping to learn some amount of Hebrew, Yiddish, Spanish, Ladino, Arabic, and French in my lifetime

༄.° a Star Trek fan! are you surprised? /lh (admittedly ive not watched most of it, and im primarily a fan of The Next Generation - Data, my beloved!)

༄.° alterhuman/otherkin/other such similar terms. this wont come up most likely but it is important to me, and something i think one can be casual about online. im not gonna post my 'types but if youre interested in knowing them, shoot me a DM maybe :3

this blog is NOT antizionism friendly - i will probably block you. if you consider Zionists to be bad Jews or people, you should block me. i will not respond to asks about the conflict. my asks are open and the anon option is on for anyone that might want to chat but is shy, not for hate.

messianic 'Jews' will be blocked on sight. other Christians are on thin ice - i ask that yall dont reblog or reply my posts with any Christian commentary. this is Jewish-related blog, for Jewish people.

other people i dont really fuck with and will probably block:

༄.° transmeds

༄.° so-called misanthropes

༄.° Wiccans (specifically Wiccans, otherwise witches and folk magic practioners are alright)

༄.° TERFs, radfems

BOTH Israelis and Palestinians deserve a safe home without war, and no one side or people deserves damnation just because of their government. Hamas is a terrorist organization.

im trying to observe Shabbos more, in the ways that appeal to me and make me feel closer to HaShem, so i might not be online Friday evenings and Saturdays (Central Standad Time)

im gonna come up with a tags list, stay tuned!

buhbye!

i'm going to be attending high holiday services for the first time this year (!!!!) but i tend to need a break when there's a lot of people around me. When would be appropriate/inappropriate times to step away for a minute? (I'm a conversion student and i attend a very liberal conservative synagogue)

The bracha for dark chocolate is Borei Pri Ha’Etz which is fruit of the tree… logically I know they mean cocoa… but deep down it makes me wanna say chocolate is a fruit

Update: shehakol is used most often! But I’m still pretending it’s healthy shhhh 😂

I’m someone who tends to keeps kosher loosely, I follow all the dietary laws beside the mixing of meat and cheese (I love cheeseburgers 😞)

But as of lately I’m considering keeping my dairy and meat separate,

if anyone has any tips on easing my way into this or maybe just some alternative food products, please please pleaseeee recommend some!

“Many Jewish sources, however, speak of the commandments as meditative devices, which can bring a person to a high level of G'd consciousness. When the commandments are seen in this light, they assume great spiritual significance.”

-Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan in "Jewish Meditation:A Practical Guide"

Peace be with those who lost their lives on 10/7/23 and their families who miss them very much. G-d willing, the hostages will return home soon.🎗️

I've decided that in order to get a better understanding of the jewish religion, culture, and what I'm signing up for in general, I need to have at least a small amount of experience with each branch. I've already attended several reform erev shabbats, so next I'm going to a conservative synagogue, and they actually have a saturday morning shabbat service!!!!!

Before anybody asks no I'm not just barging into random synagogues, I've done a lot of googling about the ones in my area and then called or emailed both to make sure they'll be okay with my presence and dumb questions

Now it's finally up and live!

Welcome to my Jewish Discord Server, Tikkun Olam! Me and a friend wanted to create a safe space for Jewish people after October 7th. After a while we finally were able to create it. Some things are still being worked on but feel free to join^^
