Shanah Tova means “good year” in Hebrew and is a customary well wish shared during Rosh Hashanah.
Rosh Hashanah – the Jewish New Year – is signified by indulging in a sweet treat. Traditionally, apples and honey have been the go-to sweet indulgence served at dinner tables for generations as they symbolize hope for the sweet year ahead. Many dip apple slices into honey on Rosh Hashanah for extra sweetness.

I really could not care less about the Gregorian calendar or it's new year. Today is the 20th of Tevet, in the year 5784 in the Hebrew calender my people have used for thousands of years

Language learning January update:
Current priorities -
1) Mandarin (basic fluency, HSK 5)
2) ASL (work through Lingvano app)
3) Toki Pona (learn all 137 words)
4) Hebrew / Arabic (relearn/learn alphabet)
5) Gaelic (start learning again, if I have time)
6) French (work through Duolingo I guess)
Mandarin -
Previous info: Been slowly learning for the last few years (uhh I think it's been like 5 years or so). I know probably around 3000 characters, but I still feel like I don't even have basic fluency somehow.
Goal: Basic fluency by the end of the year, confidence with all HSK 4 and HSK 5 words and grammar structures. Even though my current reading level is closer to the 拼音 books I have, I want to slowly work through the novel I have.
Progress: Trying to read a few pages of a 拼音 book every day, and so far with the novel I'm about 5 sentences in, with 20 new words added to my vocabulary list.
ASL (sign language) -
Previous info: started learning around October last year, working through the Lingvano app. Had a pretty good streak going for awhile but broke the streak and lost motivation sometime in December. Trying to get back into it. I probably know around 300 signs.
Goal: Work through the Lingvano app by the end of the year.
Toki Pona -
Previous info: I know 10 words...
Goals: Learn all the 137 words by the end of the year.
Greek, Gaelic, Latin, French -
Previous info: Greek - tried learning a few years ago, maybe learned about 30 words. Gaelic - started learning 2 years ago, maybe had about 50 words or so. Latin - didn't get far at all, maybe a few words. French - learned it in school up till grade 12, but I've forgotten so much; don't really have the motivation to get back into it, but I really should.
Goals: I guess these are all on hold for now, unless I get my life more organized. Greek probably won't become a priority again for awhile, Latin certainly won't be a priority for a long while unfortunately, but I hope I can get into Gaelic again later in the year if I find some time. French is definitely something I should get back into, ASAP, but the motivation is just not there for it.
Hebrew -
Previous info: I'm a scholar and a weirdo so I wanna work through the original version of the bible and all its biblical hebrew. Learning the language seems "easier" than struggling with just looking the whole thing up word by word. I didn’t get very far, I guess I sort of know the alphabet and probably around 5 words.
Goal: uhhh idk, do better.
Arabic (Egyptian dialect) -
Previous info: just started learning, still trying to work on recognizing the alphabet.
Goal: I want to be able to learn the alphabet and pronunciation by the end of the year. Duolingo can't really help so it's gonna be an uphill battle for this.
Misc -
I guess my other priorities down the line would be Sanskrit and Italian. Sanskrit cause why not, and Italian cause I want to read through the original Dante's Inferno

Today is the first day of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, 5783. This prayer book is open to prayers for the holiday in Hebrew and English, ca. 1940.

Apparently tumblr hates my concert photos and keeps eating my posts with my tag essays so HERE U GET MY CONCERTPOSTING TAGS SEPARATE and I'll try the photos again after BC if I type this one more time on my phone to lose it I'll scream
#franposting#ANYWAY. 3rd times the charm. lets see how much of my stream of consciousness i can remember#made eye contact with JD and shared a smile and that is the closest i will ever come to expressing my gratitude#for his work has saved my life and my soul over and over and over again#a boon and a comfort. and knowing that someone else has gone before? had felt it? understood it? and learned to live again#i want to live again.#absolutely broke my voice on this year#smthn about a room full of ppl screaming there will be feasting and dancing in jerusalem next year#??? nothing will ever replicate that. nothing will fill my soul the same way ever again#they played a good mix of new stuff and old classic concert bangers#ans ALSO stuff not usually in concert rotation (it froze me)#AND some stuff that i rlly just love. like hebrews 1140 my beloved.and some new force galesburg#ugh. just. so good. i was worried about being a weirdo loner#but the atmosphere was generally chill. more than half the ppl looked like gays at brunch chronically on tumblr ppl#so at least i wasnt worried about being The Most Awkward or getting murdered#also the opener was a nb southerner ans i dont do country usually#but there were. some bops#and they were hilarious in conversation#and just! smthn about loving your culture even if it doesnt love you#and you can reclaim it and enjoy it and the bigots dont get a monopoly on it#it meant a lot even tho im not from Tennessee obvs.#also the religious dynamic. the judas references. the line about glimpsing god thru the curtain. the fervour hunger metaphor#ugh. soooo good. thank u adeem the artist#anyway. i will find a setlist tmrw#i am too fuckin tired rn. got home at nearly 1am. thank GOD i took tmrw off work#tmg

Been feeling lots of Big Emotions as Pesach gets closer. I finished my conversion just before Shavuot last year, and recently I’ve found myself getting struck by these totally random moments of memory. I remember my rabbi’s family invited me over for lunch the Shabbat during Pesach. On the walk over, my rabbi mentioned that in a way, the Omer served as a sort of countdown for becoming Jewish. Looking back, it feels like such a special liminal space that I can’t quite describe.

#the last two weeks have been mental#I passed in my last paper for this term on the 24th#which means I’m officially done with the first year of my PhD#and I got news yesterday that I got a high pass on my French translation exam#so I only have to take one more test (could be in Russian or Portuguese or Hebrew or Arabic. my choice based on what I already have) to#finish my language requirements#[which is one of those things that doesn’t seem like a big deal but you can’t go to prospectus defense without it done]#and to multiply the crazy#the Friday before last#I got news that a proposal is submitted to a call for chapters (which I 100% thought I would be turned down on) was accepted#so I’m going to have a whole 40-50 page research project brought out as a chapter in a book by a major U.S. university press#never mind that I’m leaving in 2 weeks#to travel around Europe and Asia for the next 3 months doing research work and visiting friends#I was at such a low point at the start of this term 2 or 3 months ago#burned out and not feeling good about my work and just generally having a time of it with everything#but it feels like everything has turned around so drastically in such a short amount of time#and pushing myself through the bad/hard parts was worth it to come out the other end#anyway I’m rambling#but it’s been amazing to get things to look forward to and move towards making real accomplishments#especially after not sleeping more than 5 hours a night for like 9 months#not the stones#me stuff

As the first page of 2024 turns, I find myself wrapped in the quiet hope that this year will unfold into a tapestry of tranquility and contentment.
My wish for ALL is simple yet profound: that peace may find a home in our hearts and in the world around us.
May this year be one where peace of mind is as natural as breathing, where relaxation isn't just a momentary pause but a constant rhythm in the melody of our daily lives.
Let's aspire for fulfillment not just in our accomplishments, but also in the small, often overlooked chapters of our personal stories.
I dream of unity, a thread that weaves through the fabric of humanity, drawing us closer despite our differences.
May understanding bridge the gaps, compassion wipe away the judgments, and empathy be the language we all speak fluently.
I wish for laughter that echoes through our corridors, for kindness that grows wild like summer flowers, and for courage that stands tall against the storms.
May we find strength in our togetherness, and may our spirits be lifted by the collective pursuit of a better world.
For every soul walking this earth, may 2024 bring health that blossoms, love that deepens, and adventures that await with open arms.
Let's walk into this year with open hearts, ready to be the architects of our own joy and peace.
Happy New Year, my friends. Here's to a 2024 that's as beautiful and boundless as the dreams we dare to dream.
