I’ve somehow never made Hamantaschen in my life, and I decided to change that yesterday. Cue spending hours of trying to make them perfect and still ending up with some burnt bottoms, some filling spilling out, and some of the triangles coming undone 😅 BUT I did it! They may not be the prettiest, but they are sooo good.

(oh, and I am bringing some to the friend I mentioned a few posts ago that really loves Hamantaschen!)

They're laying so much blacktop nearby you can smell it all the way at home and it always reminds me of skipping lunch with the road crew to pick this up at yet another defunct record store.

*puts on my nerd hat* Okay so! There's this one theory that the tenth plague was caused by bread in ancient Egypt being contaminated by this fungus called ergot. It was a cultural norm for firstborn sons to get prioritized within the family so they would have been the ones to eat the most of the bread. (Or if Egypt was suffering from, say, nine other plagues, it's possible there was little enough bread that only the firstborn sons ate it.) If there was enough of a pattern of Egyptian firstborn sons dying it's entirely possible that people would try to explain this using religion. (a bit more about it here)

It's also super possible that the story of the ten plagues had some different basis in reality or even that it wasn't inspired by any particular event, I just find this very interesting

Atheist here asking questions about the Moses story, could g*d have found a better way of punishing the pharaoh then killing their children? I feel like there could have been better options?

Mostly I’m curious as to what the interpretation of that is.

well I'm an atheist as well so keep that in mind, but I have no idea.

the story is from thousands of years ago, and many stories from that era include bloodshed (in ways we in the modern world may consider unnecessary).

you have to keep in mind that this punishment was the last one of 10, after 9 other plagues to pressure the pharaoh to release the Israelites. those were: turning the river to blood, a bunch of fucking frogs everywhere (or a giant frog, jumblr had a debate about it), lice, invasion of wild animals, a disease on their livestock, scabies, hail, locusts, and total darkness for three days.

Moses went to Pharaoh after every plague, but he didn't budge until the last one, the death of the firstborns in eygypt. and even after he agreed, he changed his mind and sent his army after the escaping Israelites (which lead to the miracle of the parted sea).

that was not Moses's decision to kill the firstborns, the Israelites didn't cheer for their deaths, and we don't celebrate it. I'd like to remind the audience at home of the start of the story, where the Israelites where slaves to the Egyptians, and the (previous) Pharaoh passed a law to throw every male baby to the nile river, that was a human decision enforced by humans.

many other cultures have their fair share stories of bloodshed being presented as good or even heroic, Judaism shouldn't be expected to be an outlier when it's one of the more ancient religions. not to mention the 10 plagues were never really presented as positive in my opinion, they were a necessary evil to free them from slavery.

thanks for the ask! i hope my answer makes sense. again I'm not religious so I may have gotten some things wrong.

[id: tags reading #jews on tumblr responding to the second guy: hey maybe don't say that because it's antisemetic

#the second guy: i'm not antisemetic! i just think the world would be a better place if jews didn't exist]

Jews on Tumblr: Hey a lot of formerly Christian atheists are guilty of continuing to uphold harmful Christian Supremacist beliefs and behaviors and that needs to be addressed

Formerly Christian atheists: Hello! It looks like you’ve made a post about Me! Allow me to respond with multiple paragraphs detailing what I Personally think about religion, making several insidiously antisemitic comments along the way. My absolute favorite pastime is simultaneously ignoring and proving your point, with an infuriating lack of self-awareness :)

New York, like most people, knew and believed that Hanukkah started at night. Unfortunately for him, almost no other Jewish personification in the United States agreed with him.

No one, especially me, can believe it but I finally managed to get my Hannukah fic done before Hanukkah ended. 

Jewish characters of The Table both canon and headcanon hanging out with each other my beloved. Recommend to be read while listening to your fave Hanukkah song and eating guava pastelitos.

So the mob was looking for israeli's at an airport. HM. They were demanding "jews" in general and not only israelis. HM. Almost like jewish people would NOT be welcomed with open arms if they left israel in droves. HM. Almost like "every jewish person just needs to leave, you will be fine" isn't a viable solution.

Yeah it seems there was a plane from Tel Aviv and a rumor flew around that it was full of Israeli refugees so a mob showed up to Lynch them.

video of the mob shows them pretty clearly saying "Jews" "give us the Jews!" "where are the Jews?!" "kill the Jews" etc, they rampaged through the airport "looking for the Jews" ripped the place apart it'll be closed till next week because of the damage, the Russian national guard landed military helicopters on the runway to break them up. They went to local hotels and run around the halls screaming for Jews

any ways the plane was not full of Israelis, in fact it doesn't seem like it had any Israelis. It was full of.... sick children and their families returning from Israel where they were getting advanced medical care. There's video of them on a bus begging and trying to tell the mob they weren't Jews and please don't hurt us.

It seems there were a few Jews or Israelis or both at the airport unclear if they were the flight crew or just locals or what, but they were locked up in a safe room in the airport while the riot went on, thankfully no one was murdered

it seems this kind of thing is happening all over the Russian controlled Caucuses, a Jewish cultural center in Kabardino-Balkaria was burned out and defaced with "death to the Yahudam." in Karachay-Cherkessia and Kabardino-Balkaria there have been protests demanding the authorities expel Jews or hand over the names of Jews so they can be hunted down

Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate!

I would love to see religious Jews in Star Trek. I would love to see a bridge officer commanding while wearing a long skirt and a mitpachat. I would love to see another bridge officer wearing tzitzit under his uniform and a kippah. I would love to see him wrap tefilin before going to his post. I would love to hear someone offhand mention how those officers both can’t operate their replicators on Saturdays. I would love to see them search for the chabad house on every planet or starbase they visit. I would love to see them say Kaddish for fallen comrades. I would love to see them davening on the Holodeck (except for shabbos). I would love hearing them sing “Gesher Tzar Me’od” while their crew mates look on joyfully confused.

I would love to see at least a few of those things some day
