I have found my new quest.

Someone in a Facebook group I’m in posted this picture of a hanukkiah they saw in a thrift shop and did not purchase. Everyone in the group was telling them to go back and get it. They didn’t recognize what they were seeing.

It’s Yehudit brandishing her sword and the head of Holofernes.

She is being anointed with oil to honor her for her triumph.

On a hannukiah.

I need this so badly I can taste it.

Thank you, HaShem, for making this THE best birthday of my life.

Yehudit Shadur (Israeli, 1928 - 2011), Deft Hands That Devise Skillful Works, Papercut, 40 × 33 in.

Exodus 35:35

They have been given the wisdom of heart to work all manner of crafts, of the designer and the weaver and the embroiderers in colors, in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine twined linen, even of them of deft hands that do any workmanship and of those that devise skillful works

In an effort to gather works of beauty for the Tabernacle, the artisans, such as Bezalel, that G-d had endowed with “divine spirit of skill, ability, and knowledge of craft” were summoned to contribute their crafts in the presence of the Lord, as Moses had commanded.

This mural papercut was made for the former Fiber Art Center in Amherst, MA as a way to honor all manner of crafts. x

Alright Jumblr, I have decided it is time for me to make a Jewish sideblog cause I want to keep my SPN one a separate sanctuary for the blowjob brothers, but I am terrible at coming up with URLs so I am crowd sourcing for ideas/puns.

Petition: ALL of the coalition goes to either jail (99% of them) or home (that one minister who actually did his job can go home instead of to a cell) and we nominate Rachel from Ofaqim as the PM instead.

Turning 30 very soon and thinking about the future and transition and such and the tl;dr is avoid Brain Jail but mostly I am thinking about how dad (1951-2010)'s obituary says "He received a BA from Harvard in 1972, a master's from Yale and a JD from Cornell" as an opening salvo, is curt about his accomplishments and coy about his lack of relationships, and dad's brother, who was not given up for closed adoption at birth despite similarly difficult poverty/immigration circumstances and similar developmental disabilities that run very strongly in our family, lived from 1947-2019 and his obituary opens "Terry will be remembered as a happy person that everybody loved." My views on LEGAL family abolition are very strident and my views on the immediate post-WWII period and how the US exploited immigrants through the adoption system and how this was reduplicated in the 70s-90s in Korea, Vietnam, and VERY CRITICALLY, the uhhh Asian border regions of Russia in the 90s, and how I see it in almost everyone I grew up with make me so insane I don't know what to do

Like you cannot talk about family abolition without talking about international and critically TRANSRACIAL adoption without talking about Christian missionaries without talking about the criteria for diagnosing genetic disease without talking about CLOSED adoption without talking about the history of the birth certificate and the passport without talking about the eugenic history of the medical profession without talking about [I am Gong Show'd off the stage]

k this may be the withdrawal irritation talking, but literally I need to just channel my aggravation towards yehudit and her failings and just apply them to myself next time I need to do something
