A siddur from 1937, in accordance with the German & Polish tradition. Sold via Instagram.

Well, I got the same result as Clownie. The description is less than accurate about me - I'm more the Yekke of my friend group, worrying about things being on time - but I am descended from a direct line of Jewish Polish mothers (though my grandmother denies relation to the stereotype). Plus, I fulfill the regular Polish-Jewish stereotypes in my house - I kvetch regularly.

Do Yekkes get Hollywood representation? I feel like they should, maybe they do but it's never Orthodox ones...

i made a quiz for jumblr!

what jewish hollywood stereotype are you

please enjoy

[bellatrixdelrey]

While many posts about fundraisers talk about the physical suffering endured by Palestinians for over a year – which are very important to talk about – I rarely see any mention on the mental toll Palestinians face in these dire circumstances. The lack of protection from the cold not only makes you feel cold – it makes you feel impotent, lost, unable to move. Food insecurity makes you desperate to cling to any sort of nutrient. The fear of being killed will translate to PTSD for the rest of their lives for every Palestinian survivor. Now imagine all of that, but tenfold, if you need to care for a child and/or an elder.

Israa has confessed this to me in a private message. She's a mother of two children and daughter of a disabled man that has lost so much – from family members to protection for the weather to personal belongings. She has shared this to me:

[Image description: A screenshot of a tumblr message containing the following text. I am ashamed to ask for this, but I don't have anyone. I am lonely and helpless. My whole family is dead. Only my father and my two children remain, my father has cancer and has a seat (paralyzed) and my child has an epidemic liver. We are now on the street. There's nowhere to go, we're in trouble, yesterday we were displaced again, but not as before. It's the hardest time. It's shooting and firing a rocket. We barely ran away from the tent and we didn't take anything. Now we're on the street I'm a little girl. I don't know how we'll protect ourselves. If we don't die of bullets, we'll die from cold and winter. Please, help me! End image description]

I often think about how this genocide has impacted the mental health of the survivors, and this message above is one of the thousands of examples. People are afraid to lose the very little they have. People wish they could die to get out of this situation. People are clinging on to however little help they can get. And I hope we can provide Israa some help!

Oh my god so glad you asked!!! There are many different types of Expat in Korea:

FB Rant Woman is who I’d classify as “First Time Minority.” There are many of these. They’re white people that usually believe that they now understand systemic oppression because they’re now a minority group in Korea and xenophobia exists. Probably doesn’t believe that they have white privilege in Korea.

Will say anything seemingly negative that happens to them is racism. Korean person not interested in having a serious relationship with expats that will most likely leave the country in the next 1-2 years? Racism. Korean person doesn’t understand their accent when they speak Korean (their pronunciation sucks)? Racism. It’s all racism. They understand now. Don’t you see, American Person of Color? Here, we’re the same 🫶🏽

Other types of expats are:

The Koreaboo

They love KPop and K-dramas and moved to Korea to find their oppar. This expat either has a Korean boyfriend who is an ugly loser or is attractive and clearly not taking the relationship as seriously as she is, or a revolving cast of Korean boyfriends that changes so fast you never can actually learn their names. You would warn her that most men looking to date foreign women are only really looking for casual relationships, but she’s insufferable so you don’t bother.

If she sees you on the street when she’s with her boyfriend, she’s going to glare at you even though he looks like a foot and is chronically unemployed. In her mind, you want him. And that’s all that matters.

She’s an English teacher, but she really doesn’t care about her job. Has an annoying social media presence with titles like “My KOREAN BOYFRIEND tries NEW YORK PIZZA for the FIRST TIME!!”

She posts on the FB groups about how her boyfriend won’t introduce her to his family. People try to tell her that, culturally, people in Korea don’t introduce partners unless they’re engaged and about to get married. She doesn’t get it.

The Loser Back Home

This person is usually a white man who for some reason could not cash into his white male privilege in his country of origin, so he came to Korea expecting Korean women to throw coochie at him simply because he’s white. The LBH fetishizes Korean women, and loathes non-Korean woman. He’s also insufferable.

Also an English teacher, not good at his job. Has lived in Korea for 10+ years and speaks little to no Korean. Sometimes has a Korean wife that you pray divorces him eventually. He usually relies on her to do everything because he refuses to learn Korean.

The “Why are You Still Here?”

This person has also lived in Korea for 10+ years and they HATE the country. They don’t like the food, the people, their jobs, the culture, everything. Chronically miserable.

You ask them why they’re still here, and they never have a straight answer. It’s implicitly understood that they’ve been living in Korea for most of their adult life, and don’t know what they’d do if they left. If they do leave, they’re going to a nearby country (probably Japan or China) to start the process all over again.

The College Student

This person is studying abroad for a semester. Commonly seen in Hongdae clubs. They’re 19 and they can drink legally in Korea and it’s about to be everyone’s problem!

This group has overlap with the Koreaboo.

The Military Man

This person is a man in the US military. He’s either looking to get married to someone after knowing them for 5 business days, or is cheating on their wife with whom they share 3 children (with one on the way!) Swears he gets tested regularly, but will give you an STI. If he’s been in Korea for years, he probably ended up on The Black Book fb group to warn women to not interact with him. (TBB got shut down because other women started leaking the information to the men listed in it, and they threatened to sue the moderators. RIP TBB you saved many a life.)

This person is reviled by everyone in the country, expats included, because he is a menace. He and his friends terrorize the innocent citizens of whatever poor city their base is closest to. Avoid at all costs.

The Traveler

This person hasn’t lived in their country of origin for years, and has mostly been jumping from country to country for adventure! They live in Korea because 1. It’s a nice place to live., 2. Relatively low cost of living, and 3. Close to other countries. A holiday is coming up? They’re going to Thailand. They got vacation days? They’re spending it in Vietnam.

Either very chill and interesting, or insufferable.

And finally; The Running Away from Something. (That’s me!!)

This person is living in Korea because for some reason they do not want to be in their country of origin.

Shitty family? It’s hard to keep in contact with a 12 hour time difference. Don’t know what they’re gonna do with their life? English teaching in Korea is a good gap year job to let you save and figure your shit out. Mentally ill? Oh you stupid bitch. Go make that appointment at the Itaewon International Clinic. DO IT NOW.

Is either staying 1-2 years, or ends up living there forever. No in between.

Tuesday 29th October 2024

The days are getting hotter now with most having a top in the forties. They also seem to be pushing towards the wet season. No real rain yet since Saturday but there were spots yesterday late afternoon. We were having our Happy Hour Pale Ale and the wind suddenly whipped itself into a frenzy as though a storm was coming through, but then settled down again almost as quickly as it began. I suspect if we remain much longer in the tropics, we shall see real change. But that was yesterday. The indigenous people's have names for six seasons; Kudjewk Dec-Mar, Bangkerreng Apr, Yekke May-Jun, Wurrkeng Jun-Aug, Kurrung Aug-Oct, Kunumeleng Oct-Dec. So we are Kurrung Hot & Dry season.

We made an early start after an early breakfast because we were heading 24km north to Mirray Lookout which involved walking 2km up a steep rocky path to a lookout. They never put lookouts at sea level do they? The walk was graded Moderate to Difficult which is why an early start was thought best. Now I have no clue about Mirray. Was it a person and was he in need every once in a while to take a look to see if anything was coming? No one seems to know how high the lookout is either, other than pretty high. Be that as it may, and it is, we clambered up to the very top in the heat, where an enthusiastic National Park committee had placed a viewing platform just to make it a little bit higher. Now as a lookout there are a few places up there where you might miss Cromwells troups coming from below because due to an excess of tall trees the views are not by any stretch 360° There are blind spots. Mirray might do well to look into this. However, in the gaps, the views were dramatic and extensive. Well worth the climb.

Because we were so close, we decided to pop into the main (only) town of the area, Jabiru which of course gives its name to the black and white crane. Jabiru appeared like another committee had built a small town and then said does anyone want a small town and what do you want to use it for? It was empty of anything really. Fundamentally, these days, it is an Aboriginal township. Once, from 1982, there was uranium mining in the area, but that has now gone, closing in 2021. There were a number of Aborigine people wandering around. There was a supermarket, a shop equivalent to a WH Smiths, a library, and a Court House. All reasonably modern buildings but most miserable. Then, quite incongruously, there was a fairly new Mercure Hotel built in the shape of a crocodile, and besides all the usual hotel gubbings, there was a display of indigenous artwork. We meandered around this for a while, making appropriate oohs and ahhs, etc, and bade our farewells and went back to the Lodge. Glad we went, if only to say we'd done it.

Back at the Lodge, just settling down by the pool and a good book, when 1.21 gigawatts of lightening streaked to the ground in the direction of the Cultural Centre, followed shortly afterwards by the most humongous crack of thunder. I guess the wet season may soon be on us. The heavens then opened, and rain fell for 20 mins or so, but not in biblical proportions. I mean Noah would not have got his hammer and nails out! Then, with the heat, everything is dry again. The birds sing, all's right with the world.

With nothing saved in the fridge, we decided to eat in Mimi's restaurant along with the jolly campers. There seems to be a constant supply of these, in fact we observed a coach load arrive earlier to fill up the budget rooms across the site. It would probably be unseemly to use the term riff raff, they are probably very nice people.

ps. What looked like raw pickled baramundi at Mimi's. Well it was OK, but I think cod in batter somewhat preferable. Chips were nice though.

Anat was a Sabra The daughter of a Sephardic Kibbutznik nurse and a Yekke lawyer from Bonn She fell in love with Khais Born in a PLO refugee camp in southern Lebanon And they married in Cyprus He almost got arrested living with her family in Ramat Gan So she tried wrapping her hair and serving coffee with his family in Hebron But that didn't work either Then they thought about leaving to live with her cousin David in Brooklyn But he and his boyfriend Patrick wanted to get married And were maybe moving to Berlin So she went to the Jaffa beach and stared at the sea And thought about how someday all of this would pass If only she could find someone to help Khais pass

Should she make an inner emigration? Tell me what you think she should decide Considering the couple's situation She'd be better off as someone else's bride She and he comprise a kind of nation The kind we build inside when we're alone But if they just make inner emigrations Then they'll only have a home when they're at home

I want to bring your attention to Jana's (@janaabunaje) campaign because her family is falling apart due to the genocidal war in Gaza. The extremely high cost of basic necessities in Gaza is causing a huge financial strain on the family. This not only means a lack of food and water for the children, but it is also driving her parents apart. Jana's father wants to divorce her mother due to the lack of money. Jana is really worried about her family, she is really worried about how they are going to survive, and Jana is only 11 years old.

Jana also has 2 little brothers ages only 9 and 5. Their father was injured in a bombing and thus can no longer work. Now there are no jobs for both their mother and their father. There is no money for them to buy food, there is no money for them to buy clothes and blankets to protect them from the cold and the rain. They are now living in a shabby tent that does not shield them from the weather well.

Imagine living through a literal genocide, with bombs falling all around you, no food, no water, and now your parents are going through a divorce! Jana and her brothers are so young, I don't know how they are dealing with this. Please help them! Every little bit helps!

There have always been Jews ready and willing to sell the rest of us back into slavery in Egypt, to ignore the suffering of their brethren or even inflict that suffering in return for acceptance and praise from the dominant majority.

In the 1920s, there was a "Jewish Section", the Yevsektsiya, of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union. Its role was to drag the majority of Jews into the revolutionary future by suppressing worship, religious and cultural practices, the Hebrew language, and most of the markers of a distinct identity. They claimed it was in solidarity with the proletariat, for the cause of liberation, and that they were the "good Jews", in contrast to the "bad Jews", the particularists, the traditionalists, the Zionists, the rootless cosmopolitans, the argumentative dissenters. In the end, the Yevsektsiya was all purged.

In the '30s, over in Germany, there were the upstanding Verband nationaldeutscher Juden. Eminently and assiduously assimilated, they were horrified at the arrival of the shabby, impoverished, Yiddish-speaking, traditional Ostjuden who reminded those establishment Yekkes too painfully of their own roots. The VnJ was convinced that, if only it could demonstrate its loyalty to the German nationalist cause and exceed it in disdain for these un-German, uncivilized easterners, the Nazis might see that the "good Jews" might have a place in the reborn Reich. In the end, the VnJ were all sent to the camps.

Grant Miner is the same sort of Jew.
