Oh my favorite boy band? The rabbis at my local Kollel when they all sing a Jewish song parody for purim shtick.
#jumblr#jewposting#THAT 60 YEAR OLD MAN IS SINGING HIS HEART OUT ABOUT LEARNING TORAH TO THE TUNE OF ALL STAR BY SMASH MOUTH#my dad actually used to be in charge of writing said jew parody songs for years#theres one rabbi who always gets way too into it and lateral jumps from the floor directly onto the nearest table

Admission time: I've always been obsessed with miniature things. I collect wee tea sets and food items and various other things. My dream is to build a doll house some day.
Since conversion, my new obsession is to one day build a miniature Jewish doll house for my little Jewish 1/12th scale doll family.
I currently have a 1/6th scale Shabbat table with little dolls around it and I'm working on putting together a Calico critters house. I already have them sitting around a Shabbat table and I have various items to change out for the different holidays! I've ordered a wee little Menorah, I have a plate of latkas, a Seder plate and little haggadahs, little Hamantashen, challah, apples and honey, and even little bottles of alcohol so they can get smashed on Purim.
I know a lot of people are creeped out by dolls, but if anyone wants to see things as they progress, I'm happy to post pictures.
At least the Calico critters are cute, right?
#just jewish things#Miniatures#I also have a mini Torah and plan to build a model Synagogue someday too#There are NOT enough Jewish miniature things#Someone with more talent than I should start putting out Jewish miniature items#Jumblr

“I have been to Gallifrey, by the way,” Fred said as they stood waiting for the Doctor to find the right setting on his screwdriver, “but only because I’m from there. I’m also a Time Lord.” “That’s fair enough, I suppose,” Sarah was still frowning at the Doctor’s back. “He still could have come back, though, instead of making me worry for 20 years! I didn’t mean to offend, it’s only that he made such a big deal about aliens not being allowed on Gallifrey when he left.” “Well, they’re not generally, no. But, Doctor, didn’t Leela—?” “Oh, look, the door’s open!” He said, way too quickly.
I don't think she's actually met Leela at this point, but she definitely knew of her as President, and worked with Andred.
#I took a break for lunch and laundry#and now I'm back#yes I have been working on the next chapter of THIS fic for a month and a half#but I think I'm nearly there#don't have too long though I promised myself I'd go to Torah study today#dw#my fic

modern usage of this phrase in the wild: in my online gay yeshiva, this is most often used when someone venerable/knowledgeable in the community is doing an activity that’s not typical jewish study and is horny, bizarre, scandalous, etc., but you want to show your slightly-unhinged appreciation, and affirm that the activity belongs as part of the community!
ex.
1. “are you going to Rabbi B’s drag show tonight?”
2. “this too is torah, and i must learn!”
Where's my Jewish phrase for when you people are being irrevocably horny?
#more fun facts:#this mishna is part of a series of weird toilet humor esque jokes with this same punchline!#but this one is the most famous one#also the bold text in the translation of the original text means that those words were more-or-less actually in the original text!#the un-bolded words are what the translator added as connective tissue to make it make sense#jumblr#this too is torah

2x04, Old Wounds
#yellowjackets#yellowjackets spoilers#yellowjackets meta#lottie matthews#shauna shipman#im too lazy to get a download of the new episodes or to gif this so this is what we get!!! but i feel CRAZY about it#bc also like. the implication of callie being equivalent to It#shauna begs to callie and lottie begs to Whatever She Begs To#callie as the emblem of shauna's future she is what she is pouring herself into but callie is also inextricably tied#to shauna's past. the daughter jackie should have had. another earthly presence that jackie is haunting#and lottie's whole thing being like. ive moved on from that now. im free now. im better now.#the past rising up to grab her in the place where she meant to make her future but which really is like.#a monument to her past in every possible way#also the idea of words and blood being equivalent sacrifices#shauna kills jackie with words.#also im thinking about like within the torah how when they transition from the temple days to the rabbinic era#how prayer genuinely takes the place of what would have before been animal sacrifices#liturgy as bloodspilling.... it wants blood.....#callie wants blood as in she wants the fullness of her parenst she wants them to see her and trust her...#im spiralling!!!#SHAUNALOTTIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m pretty sure you can’t use the candles for anything but the enjoyment of the light. Like you’re not even supposed to use the light to see or read by. So I think this would be a no no. But this too is Torah and I must learn.

I love that the women are taken seriously in this show and that the apostles' treatment of and respect for them reflects Jesus's regard and love for them
#also it's interesting that they also acknowledge illiteracy and the fact that only the boys were in hebrew school#and the girls want to LEARN. they want to know and understand torah and they want to express themselves through writing#love the friendship between mary mother mary eden tamar ramah too :')#the chosen

Had intended to spend all day at services today but instead was too emotionally weird without my meds (cried through almost the entirety of the morning service, not for any bad reason, like sometimes it was just because I read something moving in the machzor) so here's to strange and messy energies for 5784 I guess.
#also like. complicated (in a good way! good complicated!! just. the themes) holiday when you are in the middle of a moral ocd diagnosis#anyways i am fine genuinely but the human experience got to me a little too hard today#grateful to be part of a tradition where that's still like. healthy for me though. and where i can explore that#cried my eyes out directly in front of the torah scrolls for a bit. you know how it is#now i'm feeling weird being at home but maybe i'll catch the evening service online

as a jew ive always been really confused by easter but ive never been more confused than when I joined the tlt fandom. Wtf are the stations of the cross. Why would harrowhark like them. Why is friday good. What are those ash forehead things for. Is today leaves day? I know about the rock tomb thing connection that's about it. And obviously gid's resurrection is jesus. I get that. She has the wounds to prove it and the lil crown yeah I know. Also she was crucified. I get that! But the crucifixion. ... is that an easter thing? Do yall have a sad day? Like i dunno like. Depression tuesday? When did this man die? Is it the same day every year? If tlt is the bible if the bible snorted homestuck wtf happens next?
#genuinely help#all the religious stuff i get in tlt is bc it's torah too like sefer rut#tlt#lessons of the hand and the mouth

it turns out we were all the gay cousin
#melonposting#the 'gay cousin' thing is very funny to me considering how many of us in the family are queer#i am... so are at least two of my siblings... and now one of my cousins is trans! wahoo#i'm reminded of something funny though#my synagogue holds a 'queer shabbat' every june. quite nice of them#among other things they try to have more queer people participating in services. so my brother read torah that day! yay!#but for getting someone to carry the torah around the synagogue they asked my other brother#...who is not queer#and he asks me in a hushed voice during the service if i can carry the torah instead of him#and i'm like um? i don't know how?? i've never done it before??? what if i drop it????#and he's like no it's fine it's not even that heavy#and i was like why do you want me to do it so badly anyway???#and he's like... it should be someone who's ACTUALLY QUEER#i almost cracked up. he said it so bald-facedly lol#i was too nervous so he ended up doing it. i bet he felt rather silly about it though

i think pike is a cohen but he never does the first aliyah. he always lets a bas kohen do it before him because he's a feminist ✨
#i bet his voice is so strong when he chants torah too. and he starts rocking the moment he starts chanting anything in hebrew it's#subconscious at this point and VERY endearing#jewish star trek#star trek snw#star trek tos#jewish pike#christopher pike#jumblr
