Banning abortion is a violation of my First Amendment, it’s a violation of my religious freedom. I do not want Christian views imposed on me as a Jew.

This is a reminder that Americans absolutely knew about the treatment of Jews under Nazi rule. It seems that you’ve all been fed this lie that Americans first learned of the extent of the Jew-hatred when troops “liberated” concentration camps after the war. That’s false. Jew-hatred was reported in the papers. American Jews knew their families back in Europe were disappearing. They appealed to the government and the government did nothing. Then when the camps were discovered and that footage was released everyone acted shocked.

It’s kind of like how everyone suddenly seems to be opening their eyes to antisemitism after Kanye spouted off his antisemitic nonsense. We’ve been beating this drum forever and finally you’re all coming around to the idea of it almost as if it didn’t exist before. Kanye is merely a symbol of a larger problem. Kanye is merely the “liberated” camp. You all looked away and decided to ignore the problem until it was finally in your faces and you couldn’t ignore it anymore.

Antisemitism does not just exist when goyim acknowledge it. Antisemitism exists because goyim refuse to acknowledge it, often until it is too late. Now is not the time to act appalled. You’re late. Catch up. Do better.

I'm staying up tonight to go to rosh hashanah services at 1:30am o7

as a jew i love saying “jesus christ” like that’s just a curse to me

I am a Jew

I am a Jew. My ancestors are Lithuanian, Polish and Belarussian Jews. My dad's Biological mom is a Jew, likely orthodox. His adopted grandma was a Brooklyn born girl with a thick, Lithuanian accent. Ethnically, there is no denying that I am Jewish.

I spent most of my years in young childhood worshiping through Jusaism without even realizing. I knew all the stories of the holidays by heart. I could sing the Hebrew Alphabet. I prayed for bread and wine on the Sabbath. I loved my spiritual way of life. I love practicing Judaism, but the whole time I was a dedicated Jew, I thought I was a Christian. I believed in Santa, went on easter egg hunts, and attended my cousin's "communion". Yet I had no Idea what was going on. I didn't know who Jesus was, I'd never been in a church, I'd never even said a Christian prayer. Hell, I still can't spell Christian without autocorrect yelling at me. I ways today years old (fifteen, almost sixteen) when I realized, I WAS A JEW. I wasn't a Christian at all!

For some reason after my great aunt died, I was determined to start attending mass so that I could get into heaven. I was a child of god for years, and even got baptized at the age of nine. I grew to hate church, however, and completely lost my religion by the end of eight grade. I became a witch, and still am one. I always knew I was ethnically Jew, and could affirm that thought by looking in the mirror, but I never stopped to think about converting back to Judaism.

Today, I think I'm to far gone to worship Judaism again. I've spent so many years resisting God, that I don't know if I even want to follow that path again. I do however appreciate the Torah and Jewish teachings, and am so glad that I was able to embrace my Judaism.

Today, I am a Jew. I fit under every stereotype available (but will not be listing them because of all the Kanye stuff rn) and defend my people everyday, literally, because tenth grade history is crazy. I relate with my dad on the daily about our Jewishness through humor. I've had vivid dreams in which Hitler was coming for me. just the other night, In fact, I dreamt that I was being forced to board the train to Auschwitz, and was sobbing violently, clinging on to my Jewish friends. We have our old Menorah out in the house this holiday season. Everyday I'm trying to egg my sister on that we are a little more Jewish than she may think. I identify as a Jew. My spirituality is complicated, and so is my blood, considering my mom in a full Cristian. At the end of the day though, it doesn't matter what My qualifications are, because I AM JEW. and it feels so good to affirm that to myself after all these years of trying to suppress my culture and identity.

Joyous Adar, Fellow Jews of Tumblr!

weird q but how do we square the need for a ner tamid with the general fire code rule of thumb that exposed flames should probably not burn unsupervised???

they put a final on the 19th of December. its the first day of Hanukkah and Yule, fuckers. how am I supposed to do this???

I have had some really interesting conversations the past few weeks about where Jews should live and where we feel the safest. So I’m curious…

theres this specific brand of judaism thats """all-accepting""" (of women, lgbt ppl, mentaly ill/disabled ppl, etc) and 'fight with gd behind a dennys' and uwu cute and scrunkly and non-threatening that was bred in captivity by secular americans thats somehow treated as the "real", widespread version of judaism by people on social media and its so so funny and annoying at the same time. and often coexists in gentiles alongside antisemitic beliefs, talking points and ideas. anyways. it drives me insane.

i’m gonna say this once more, so maybeeeee someone finally gets it.

the only jews “living” in gaza currently are the jewish hostages out of the 134 hostages still in gaza. not one jew is permitted to live there since 2005 by law. yes, it’s against the law.

I don't think I can say this with enough emphasis--if you are not Jewish, you don't get to decide what is and is not antisemitic.

There's no ambiguity here. Zero. I am sick and tired of being lectured at by goyim about how, 'oh, ackhtually, your explanation of how my words are antisemitic is off! You're trying to stop the discussion by being inflammatory!'

Or to be told that I am cheapening the term antisemitism, and that people used to react to it before October 7th, but now they're numb to it, which is just what happens you start using serious accusations for political means!

It's... genuinely astonishing to me. I'm consistently amazed by the arrogance, audacity, and disrespect it takes for you guys to lecture Jews on what antisemitism is.

Have any of you goyim experienced antisemitism firsthand? Is it your people who's experienced antisemitism for 3000 years? Is it you who has family members rescued by Schindler? Was it your ancestors who fled from constant, unending pogroms in with nothing but the clothes on their backs? Have you ever had someone tell lies to your friend about you sexually harassing people because you're a Jew? Have you ever had to sit and think whether you should mark down that you're Jewish on a job application? Have you ever felt unsafe and compelled to take off your Star of David because you've been afraid you'd be attacked? Have you ever had to worry about a professor who constantly brings up the war in class marking your assignment down because it talks about Israel being a democracy? Have you ever had the feeling of acid being splashed on your soul when you see antisemitic comments? The ice water rushing down your spine when someone is antisemitic to your face, and you feel the weight of 3 millennia of oppression bearing down on you?

No? Not you?

Then sit your ass down, and frankly, shut the fuck up.
