I'm the person who talked about Jewish NY.

My point was that they improved *between seasons* and got actual input after realizing their mistakes. My point was that if they had tried to depict Poland in season 1, they probably would have caught more in season 2.

Ymmv on whether they actually improved, but there was a difference between season 1 and season 2. As the other confessor pointed out, having one non-malicious golem isn't much. But in S2 they did have a rabbi consulting, Rabbi Shais Rishon. And "emet" is written on the roof of Willy's mouth, which differs from many sources but is still relevant. Kingston consulted with a rabbi in character. (They get more into golem lore and discuss how Willy isn't really a traditional golem). It was a plot point---they even had the truth/death thing tie into the greater themes of the villain.

There is a *lot* we can talk about wrt how Dimension 20 portrays Judaism and the general culturally Christian atheist vibe they fall into, but that wasn't the point of that post. It wasn't about achievement. It was about *improvement.* Recognizing failures and making an effort to be more mindful and consult stakeholders between seasons.

Hot take but I’m starting to think that the Talmud isn’t really written in Aramaic, or at least certainly not the same way the Targumim are. It’s more of a Hebrew-Aramaic pidgin, used specific for halakhic discourse.

My interview with Rosa DeVries

My interview with Rosa DeVries, Rosa is a Dutch Jewish lady and a daughter of Holocaust survivors. She lives in Rishon LeZion (Hebrew: רִאשׁוֹן לְצִיּוֹן a city in Israel, located along the central Israeli coastal plain eight kilometres (5 mi) south of Tel Aviv, and about 55 km away from Gaza.We talked about her experiences in Israel as a citizen in the current situation and about her son who is…

You're thinking of the absolutely wrong kind of ma‘asrot. I will offer you lemons, but my dad already has a Levi friend to whom he prefers giving his Ma‘aser Rishon.

The post is getting super long so ask time lol i wasnt talking about teruma. I was talking purely about ma'aser. And whilst at it, as far as I remember (i could be very wrong on that though lol) nowadays every ma'aser that's given by law to levi can be given to cohen as well, since cohanim are from levi and just specific families who did the bulk if the work at the temple. But pls correct me if i'm wrong it's been a hot mi ute since I leared all of these xD

For the protocol - this is the post in question.

It's been some time since I learned it as well, I need to go over it. However, it's important to note that unlike T(e)ruma, Ma‘aser can be eaten by everyone. That's why many people actually keep it and only get rid of the T(e)ruma - due to the supposed dubiousness of Levite descent nowadays, the Halacha requires the Levite to prove they're Levite before taking the Ma‘aser.

But in relation to Cohanim: there apparently was a decree of ‘Ezra the Scribe that I can't find the source to right now that the Ma‘aser will not go to the Levites anymore because they didn't come back to Israel in great numbers during his time. This was a temporary decree, most likely, but it does show that Ma‘asrot can be given to Cohanim. There's also apparently a portion in the Gemara (Yevamot 86A) that talks directly about this, but the person saying Ma‘aser Rishon can be given to Cohanim just happens to be a Cohen himself and a 10th generation descendant of ‘Ezra, so take it with a grain of salt. Or don't, since the Gemara clearly doesn't. So in essence, you are correct.

PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU CAN SO YOU CAN KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING TO TRANSGENDER PEOPLE, POOR PEOPLE AND LEFTISTS IN THE UK RIGHT NOW!

Don’t let Rishi Sunaks current agenda fool you. While he is blaming transgender people for things that aren’t even problems (fun fact: more MP’s have been reported assaulting people in the bathroom than transgender people) you need to be aware of what he is doing.

The price of oil has surged 30% since June,

They are trying to ban protest and free speech,

4.2 Million children (29% of children in the uk) are living in poverty,

The inflation rate is 6.7+.

While people are starving, while kids are going to school with broken shoes and empty bellies, this man is ignoring it and complaining about how he doesn’t like transgender people. He will continue to ignore real issues and harass transgender people so that you don’t notice all of the things going wrong.

He’s banned people from hospital wards that match their gender identity, meaning many trans people may avoid being hospitalised when they need to because they will be put on the wrong ward, which may mean people don’t get the healthcare they need and may even DIE.

In the past five years, hate crimes against transgender people have gone up 186%.

Over 300 transgender people have been murdered in the last year.

Trans people are 770% more likely to commit suicide, mostly because of this cruel persecution from the government and society.

Taking away the rights and ruthlessly persecuting and attacking a group of people who only make up 0.5% of the population is fucking ridiculous. Trans people have done nothing wrong.

Rishon Sunak is a fucking fascist, the whole Tory party are fucking fascists, and if you vote for them you’re also a fascist.

Oh, and by the way, because I’m a very intense leftist, this could be sent to my college and they can send me to a radicalisation/terrorism course for expressing my political views about you know… not wanting to be killed by the governments cruel policies. Yes, you heard that right. If you are communist, anarchist or even just too intensely left for their liking, they can shove you into a radicalisation programme and forcefully influence your views. This country is going to hell and we can’t keep ignoring it.

They are also freezing income and National insurance tax meaning most people will be getting pushed up into a higher tax bracket that they just cannot afford, the rise in tax will be unpredictable and most likely more than the current tax, on this monetary note, our knife crime has risen 80% no doubt because of inflation and cost of living creating a higher general crime rate and therefore increasing this crime alongside it.

This section is directed to the Americans: please help spread this word. Many of us in the UK are reblogging and raising the alarm for you. Please, do the same for us. We are quickly falling into parallel situations, and people seem to have no clue what’s happening in the UK despite the fact it’s no secret.

~ Thank you.

I came to the surprising conclusion that Israelis are bad at things thet germans are good at

Cars? terrible, awful, don't ever drive a Susita unless you wanna die.

trains? Very very bad. The fact there isn't a direct line from east rishon to TEL Aviv is enough. Also there's no subway. At all.

beer? actually I'm a minor so can't tell.

Being unemotional? hell no! actually the exact opposite.

Economy? have you seen the prices here?

LGBTQ rights? well, actually, we have the most rights here in more than every country in the middle east! which basically means we won't be put in jail or killed! marriage? no, not if you wanna go through the rabbinate.

losing at wars? no, for now.

dance music? I know it's more about individual tastes, but I'm gonna say no.

education? as someone who's currently in our education system, it's broken and terrible.

apologizing for our mistakes? what mistakes? we've made zero mistakes. there's no reason for us to apologize.

being united? If we have Berlin it will be cause we built it.

furniture? do we even make it?

order and cleanliness? ha! no.

I rest my case.
