last night I called King David my little bi redheaded king and a bisexual rampant slut so I guess I was feeling some type of way but honestly I stand behind it

To every Jewish person:

I hope you are remembering to take care of yourselves.

I hope you are eating well. Staying hydrated. Getting plenty of rest.

I hope you are remembering to take a break from everything. Turn off social media and the news and find some joy.

I hope you remember how strong your people are and how far they have come.

I hope that you remember that you are also strong. Being strong doesn't mean you have to face everything alone.

I hope you look at the sky once a day and find beauty there.

I hope you remember to sing.

I hope you remember how much you are loved. Every single one of us is a gift. We will do what we do best and continue on.

Yesterday in shul during the part of the Torah service when you say the shema, I saw a very tiny child in front of me cover his eyes very quickly when we started saying it and then his mother giggled and started to remove his hand. If you know anything about the shema and the Torah service you’ll know that when you say shema you cover your eyes, but you don’t when it’s part of the Torah service. I just thought it was so cute to see this tiny child obviously recognize what we were saying and go “oh! I know what to do here!” And then you could see the learning in real time! Absolutely adorable. Seeing little kids participating in and understanding Jewish rituals is so so special to me.

I see your “getting rid of the Christmas tree” and I raise you our “cleaning the wax out of the menorah.”

checking on a tumblr user's post history to see if they're normal about Jews before following or reblogging anything from them

And is my "major world religion" an even extent population in the city I'm moving to? No??? That's odd...

It's almost like it's an itty bitty portion of the population or something 🤔 how unusual for a major world religion!

I absolutely love talking about Judaism, Jewish history, and Jewish culture, but every time someone comes up to me and is like hey you’re Jewish, can I ask you something? I have micro panic attack while waiting for the follow up sentence.

"They're running towards the house on fire." -Rubin talking about all conversion students after Oct 7th.

A recent notion came to me about a month back. "I feel like a sleeper agent."

Something woke up my Jewish soul. It feels like it has always been there, waiting for me. Nothing has felt more like coming home than working on my conversion.

I've heard from a Rabbi in New York that Judaism's introduction courses have a seven month wait list and have doubled in size.

Hebrew classes have grown and the demand for them is growing still.

Hebrew reading comprehension courses are being introduced to learning apps that have long ignored Hebrew in the past. Prayer book study courses are increasing and attendance to the bigger services this year like Yom Kippur were quite massive compared to previous years.

Not only are we seeing more new faces in Synagogues of people looking to convert or who are curious, but OLD faces are starting to come back.

This past Friday the Rabbi stopped while looking out at the crowd and went, "I see some faces I have not seen in over ten years!!"

I spoke with a man that only appears at the holiday events and he admitted that it had been a while since he had done anything, but he was starting to hear a calling to come back.

Antisemitism is on the rise. Violence towards Israeli and Jews in the Diaspora is growing and there has been a lot of betrayal from former safe places and groups.

Yet there is a sold out Jewish Music concert happening downtown next week. Synagogue tours are still happening and Judaica decor is certainly on the rise. The Jewish Bakery near me today was having a special Hanukkah festival and the line was incredible.

The Jews are Tired. A saying that has been going around any time we read idiotic posts filled with Antisemitism. I think that table has turned. The Jews are Angry.

The Mountain is calling and it feels like so many more are coming home.

people I thought were my friends stop being antisemitic challenge

I wish I could find the clip because it sounds like I'm making shit up at this point but I stg I heard Jackson Publick say it- when the Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend go to her parents house her mom barely feeds him and won't let him finish a drink. She snatches his glass and starts passive aggressively washing it before he's finished. That's like the highest level of disrespect from a Jewish mom. She barely tolerates king butterfly man lol

Every day someone's like "please tell me if this Hebrew/Yiddish is correct before i get it tattooed on me" and people go "don't get it tattooed on you" and the asker is like "is this because of the prohibition on tattoos" and the responders are like "no it's about not getting something tattooed that you need an outside source to verify is correct"
