So true queen

[indecisiveavocado]

so about rashi

there are three things worth noting about rashi:

it's thought his daughters were fairly educated to the point that there's an urban legend about someone saying the reason it's ok to wear tefillin is that rashi's daughters wore tefillin

at the time of course it was not socially acceptable for women to put their names on things

rashi got an INSANE (like, physically impossible, someone's done the calculations) amount done

so we have a guy who does a ridiculous amount and his daughters who were allegedly very smart but couldn't have published at the time.

conclusion: maybe rashi's stuff was actually a joint rashi + daughters project he couldn't put their names on?

In honor of Leonard Nimoy’s 93rd birthday, I’d like to shine a light on a couple of his lesser known roles: those of Rashi and Maimonides, two great Rabbis in Jewish history.

Nimoy hugely influenced me not only by his portrayal of Spock, but through the ways he showed the world his Judaism without fear, and with nothing but love and pride.

Happy heavenly birthday, Mr. Nimoy. May your memory be a blessing. 🖖🏻

me bleeding on the floor while my friend, 13th century spanish/egyptian rabbi and prolific scriptural commentator Moshe "Rambam" ben Maimon (ZTzVKLLH"H) stands nearby: help i'm bleeding get me ibuprofen rambam

Moshe "Rambam" ben Maimon (ZTzVKLLH"H): here, "i'm bleeding" is to say: a dark red fluid has left my body, and is now outside of it, causing ritual impurity. "help" once followed by "get me ibuprofen": the first [help] refers specifically to how the author praises the Holy One, blessed be He, and therefore wants to avoid ritual impurity, associated with idolatry. the second plea for help, "get me ibuprofen", is more specific and refers to a request for an action to alleviate his suffering. because the author's prayer follows a similar ratio of words to the shemoneh esrei (1:5:1) in its three sections, the meaning of "rambam" is: i thank you, for it is you who must save me.

@snissel613 I asked a teacher of mine why Hashem is sometimes referred to in plural as Elohim and she said “let me check what Rashi says” *queue page rustling* “ok he said it’s so stupid people people will ask why it’s plural and be forced to think about g*d”

I just thought from your posts that you might find that funny

[ai-higurashi]

Oh, to be loved so deeply that you could be killed and torn into pieces, reduced to nothing else than an indiscernible mass of hair and bone, yet you'd still be put together, lovingly and patiently, and resurrected by people who'd come get you from death's grasp again and again.

What determines luck?

According to the Talmudic Mishna, it's is a result of tiny beings in our cells called "Mazel-chrolrians" that secrete a force that determines luck. The earliest Amoraim of the Gemara have no comments, but later generations including Rabbi Abbahu felt this was an unnecessary addition to the Hebrew Canon, stating that the mysteries of Hashem are not for us to know and that this only weakened the Torah by attempting to make it "Hard Sci-Fi" at the cost of the Jewish fandom.

Rashi expands on this to state, "Always two there are, a Schlemiel and a Schlimazel. But which is the Schlemiel... And which is the Schlimazel?"

Whenever a goy says something dumb about Judaism or Tanach i mentally picture them saying that same thing to rambam and than getting torn to absolute shreds verbally.

Hinamizawa Forever!

I had fun with last week's drawing, but it made me realize how rusty I've gotten while focusing on other projects.

This week I wanted to get back into it with something fun. And since cartoons is the most fun to draw, I decided to draw the Hinamizawa kids together in their wonderful village where nothing ever goes wrong. 💛

It's probably clear by looking at it, but I did spend more than an hour working on this one.

Two days left for the introductory sale of The Ghost and the Golem, my 480,000-word Jewish historical fantasy game!

(I've been saying 450,000 words, but I just went & recounted. It's now a full novella-length longer than the Lord of the Rings trilogy.)

Is it Too Late?

It was the monthly movie night as a break from the usual routine.

The softshell turtle would usually expect your arrival, looking over his shoulder, on whatever work in progress invention he was working on.

However, by the time you and the others were waiting for the pizza to arrive.

You didn't sit near him. Mostly across from him as you listened to one of his brothers. Talking about something that happened earlier in the day.

And most of the interactions you gave to him were just a smile. A different one he wasn't used to.

You might have been true to your word with giving him space.

Since he was surprised that you wanted to ask him out on a date last Saturday.

It might have been that same smile that appeared when he rejected your feelings.

.

..

...

Saying how you weren't his type but, still appreciated your company nonetheless.

It almost felt insulting that he got to eat his favorite pizza. While you try to eat a fresh slice despite your broken heart hiding those crushed feelings.

The Jupiter Jim movie playing in the background just felt like a white noise as you tried to seem interested in the movie. But after the first movie was done, Donnie overheard a conversation between you and Leo.

"Hey Leo, can you portal me home?"

"Something came up so I can't really stick around for the rest of the movie night."

"Sure but, kind of missing out on Donnie fanboying on the next movie because."

"We would have sneaked away to let you two lovebirds have that special moment."

"Those words from Mikey and Raph because you saw how they panicked. Trying not to spoil their plan out in the open."

Donnie felt horrible seeing you lightly tug the shoulder straps of your backpack, that was intended for the movie night sleepover.

You still kept up the facade as you politely smiled back at Leo. Slowly heading towards the light blue portal.

"You usually avoid these sort of plans. What changed your mind about it?"

Leo pretended to stretch his arms but, still grinned at you.

"With someone like Kendra being his type, its not gonna last long."

"You're the exact opposite and I mean that in a good way."

"You're like a personal cheerleader for him."

You were inches away from the portal. Stopping your steps close to tears in your eyes. But, held back trying not to crack under pressure.

"Guess I have to be careful with any of your matchmaking ideas."

After hearing you two go your separate ways for the night, Donnie's shell lightly hit the wall as he sat down. Horrified at the thought of his brothers eventually finding out that he broke your heart. Or attempting to rebuilt that friendship you had with him.
