#magen am

[fuckyeahmarxismleninism]

Over 20 organizations including Jewish, Palestinian, human rights and anti-racist organizations will demand that LA City Council members vote against a resolution that has been introduced by Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky that would provide $1 million of public funds to racist Zionist vigilante groups such as Magen Am that are composed of former IDF and US military soldiers.

My menorah is finally home! I asked if my aunt could get it from the second hand store and it was still there, waiting for me. She also helped me make a necklace of my Magen David, I was originally on a bracelet but it broke :(

But i'm so happy to have my first menorah! ✡️

I like getting old judaica because it makes me think of their story. The holidays they have seen, the story you don't know and you get to continue the story with them💜

The Sukkah blesses us with a gateway to step out of our daily comfort zone and strengthen grounding with Earth and divinity. It calls us to elevate the joy of life and praise sacred qualities of God. This special time opens and welcomes the beautiful Holy Days of Sukkot into our hearts and invites us to bring more love and share our gifts and light with each other. So may it be. אָמֵן

Things I saw on my way to shul this Shabbat:

A house with tons of pro-Hamas signs in the window right next to a house with one huge sign that said "You Need Jesus"

A series of telephone poles covered in pro-Hamas posters, but one was torn one down and in the white residue it left behind, someone wrote Bring Them Home Now

Pieces left behind of stickers about antisemitism that had been torn down, with just a few words left readable, pleas for recognition that Israelis and Jews are human

The poster that's been up since October on a public electrical box that says "The world stands with Palestine" (which always makes me roll my eyes and think, yes, Jews know the world stands with whoever would like to eliminate us, this isn't news) was updated to also say Fuck Israel

The "Viva Palestina" sign depicting a terrorist with a gun that's been in the window of one house since October was updated to add more names of murderous terrorists that the homeowner wished to honor with a special shout-out

The huge banner outside of a church saying "Love demands a permanent ceasefire now!" with an image of a dove carrying an olive branch apparently offended the local bird population who didn't want their image associated with this message so they pooped all over it

Many, many signs campaigning for a candidate for city council who says she is a "recovering Zionist" who did "ancestral healing" so that she no longer feels a stake in the ancestral homeland full of refugees and can now be a Good Jew (her campaign slogan is about her compassion and integrity which is rich when you consider she's part of the mob screaming at Shoah survivors in city council meetings that they're lying and works with a white supremacist guy who literally calls Jews "zios" and pigs)

The most gorgeously lush and varied flower gardens that you could ever imagine gracing every sidewalk

Flowering trees everywhere

Birds, bees, butterflies, well fed squirrels, and prosperous housecats of all kinds

Gorgeous period architecture, much of it beautifully preserved

A homeless person under a freeway overpass, trying to snuggle into a comfortable position on the cement, in the exact place that another homeless person was recently found dead

Multimillion dollar houses in one of the wealthiest areas of a country that never gets bombed, covered in signs advocating their support for Israel to keep being bombed and terrorized

On a street full of houses with pro-Hamas placards, one solitary house with a mezuzah and a sign on its door saying שלום

Someone pointed out my Magen David in public today and commented on how much they loved it. How wonderful is that?

[challahfairy]

I SECRETLY MADE MY BAGEL KOSHER!!! CALL THAT A KOSHHHHHHER 💥💥💥

[ace-hell]

Antisemite antizionists PP freaks: "GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!"

my honest reaction:

[jellybeanium124]

I have work later today. I have to go to work. I have to go to work and deal with customers. idk man... maybe that's better than staying home and ruminating. but this just feels like a day of mourning. how am I supposed to have normal conversations with my coworkers? how am I supposed to pretend that this isn't the first anniversary of a tragedy that changed my life

[jewishbarbies]

“but jews benefit from white privilege because they’re white too” yeah as long as we abandon all that we are in any public space. as long as no one perceives us as jewish. some jewish people can’t hide their jewishness. some people aren’t even jewish but are accused of it because of their features or hair. it’s not black and white and acting like it is shows you’re speaking on issues you know nothing about.

[sugarspunfaerie]

I really feel for all the Jewish folks I know that have had to go into hiding online & offline due to antisemitism spiking. It's honestly been depressing how we're getting pushed out of spaces.

I, however, am going to be even more open about my Jewishness out of spite. I am going to be the most obnoxious Jew & take pride in it.

[my-jewish-life]

We'll see how this goes, but it's worth a try!^^

Any swedish jews here, or jewish converts in sweden? I'm looking to get more friends in Sweden, bonus points if you are in the Linköping area!^^

Finding a jewish community is so here, especially when you live so far away from a synagogue:(

Dm me if you wanna be friends^^
