Everyone queue up this meme I made for next week

Shana Tova!!! May your enemies, haters, and those who wish evil upon you be cut off. The blessing for the leek has always felt resonant but this year it's been on my mind a lot. For me at least, 5785 is a year of practicing healthy boundaries and taking care of myself - even if I have to run on spite. I hope everyone has a safe Rosh Hashanah ❤️

Dick: So Rosh Hashanah is a time for new beginnings and I want to get something off my chest. I'm the one who broke the porch light.

Damian: I knew it.

Bruce: You broke the light?

Jason: I got blamed for that!

Tim: I still have glass in my foot from that light.

Dick: This is what happens when you try to do the right thing, which is why I came prepared.

Bruce: Prepared for what?

Dick: Jason has a tattoo he's been hiding from Bruce for over a year.

Bruce: Jason!

Jason: No I don't! He's lying!

Dick: Tim dropped out of college two months ago and hasn't told anyone.

Selina: Tim, what?!?

Dick: Bruce has been cheating on the diet you guys started.

Selina: Are you kidding me?

Dick: He took me to Batburger last night.

Selina: You told me you were sticking to that!

Dick: Damian actually isn't allergic to Selina's spaghetti sauce, he just doesn't wanna eat it. He likes Alfred's better.

Selina: Damian!

Dick: Selina set up monthly payments from Bruce's bank account to pay for her spa treatments.

Selina, to Damian: You don't like my sauce?!

Bruce, gesturing to Jason: You're worried about the sauce? This one over here's got a tattoo.

Selina: You haven't stuck to your diet.

Bruce, gesturing to Tim: This one over here quit school. You're worried about me eating a burger?

Selina: Tim, that's a joke right?

Everyone: *arguing*

Dick: Shanah tovah. I feel a lot better.

Happy Rosh Hashanah, and shana tova to everyone celebrating! 🍯🍎✨

(extra sweet version)

This one is a complete re-imagining of my first Rosh Hashanah pic from back in 2020! I really wanted to rebuild it from the ground up and do a "how would I execute this idea differently if I were making it now". It was a lot of fun!

Okay, this is my third time trying to put this into words. I am very upset, hurt, and honestly terrified. I’m about to share a lot about myself, my family, and a very scary situation happening right now, so for my own safety, I won’t provide too many details.

I live in a secondary city in a South American country. The Jewish community here is very small—around 5,000 people total out of over 50 million. In my city, which has over 3 million people, there are only about 300 Jews. We’re literally on the other side of the world from Israel.

We own a family business, a small clothing factory where we make knitted garments. It was founded by my grandmother 48 years ago. My father is the current manager, and both my sister and I work there. We employ around 80 people. We pay fair and legal wages (not the industry standard in my country), and although times are really hard, we’ve never missed a payment, not once in our 48 years in business. My father paused his own salary and hasn’t received a cent since January, and my sister and I both stopped getting paid for three months. But the people who work with us have always received their salaries as they should.

Now, today, September 30th, (just a couple of days before the start of our high holidays and exactly one week before the first anniversary of October 7th) the biggest and most important public university in my city, in conjunction with the syndicate council, invited the Palestinian ambassador to give a conference about the current situation and the war. Well, apparently, it derailed into open antisemitism and ended up as a conference about how Jews are all thieves and scammers. Because, I kid you not, back in the '90s, a huge group of my country’s biggest companies went bankrupt and couldn’t pay their employees what they owed. One out of about 30 of those companies was owned by Jewish people. So, of course, "we Jews are all liars, scammers, and thieves, just like the Israelis—always trying to take what doesn’t belong to us"

So, what conclusion did they reach at this conference about Palestine and the current war happening on the other side of the world? Well, naturally, they decided to target Jewish-owned businesses in my city (which means our factory and two other small businesses in our area) to protest and vandalize, because we’re all thieves and scammers, and Israel is bad and horrible, and everyone in my city needs to be made aware of that. When are they planning to come? October 7th, of course, when else?

The only reason I even know about this is that one of my Jewish friends decided to attend the conference to hear from the Palestinian ambassador and, risking their own safety, stayed to hear the names of the businesses that are going to be targeted.

I'm hurt and scared and I've been trying not to cry since I found out. These are the people on the left, these we were supposed to be my people, I've marched with them, I've worked and voted with them. I don't know what to do? Please, please tell me how are they different from actual Nazis? How is this situation different from any other jew living in Europe in the 1930's? I guess shannah fucking tovah to me, as if last year wasn't a wake up call. I am fucking awake.

שנה טובה Shanah Tovah, 5784 begins ✨

So I’m in a health care major in college, and I’m having my first season of high holy days as a Jew-ish person. So, being a busy student along with having many days I need to take off in October, I’ve gotten very used to talking to professors.

I’m in a class for cultural advocacy and bias in the medical setting. We’ve spent hours reviewing case studies, talking about social determinants and education, and general cross cultural acceptance. We talked at length about different and equitable approaches for religious minorities- in terms of dietary needs, holidays, and lifestyle.

I didn’t expect any trouble with taking this class off. So I approached my professor and told her that because of Rosh Hashanah next week, I wouldn’t be able to attend class next Thursday.

She turned to me, very sweetly and said “okay! Just make sure to use your golden pass!”

The one time golden pass is provided to every student in the course- specifically for menial situations. You could use this just because you’re hung over, a little sick or just don’t feel like it.

Religious holidays are not- and as noted in my university’s policy on this very matter - “an optional day off.” I should not have to use my one “fun pass” for a genuine cultural obligation. And this isn’t me just saying that. This is the college’s policy.

If this happened in an anatomy class with a STEM driven professor, I’d be a little annoyed but ultimately understanding. But this is a class where we’ve discussed social policy at length and the importance of diversity. The least I could expect was for the fine bullet points on our own school standards to be read.

So as I write an email to her, gently explaining this and having my request in writing, I have to channel my frustration somewhere.

What can I say? I’m very much getting the Jewish experience.
