due to a certain asshole spewing bullshit in spacelazarwolf's notes, I wanna emphasize something:

YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW HEBREW TO BE JEWISH

YOU DON'T HAVE TO LEARN HEBREW TO BE JEWISH

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WANT TO LEARN HEBREW TO BE JEWISH

the only thing you need to be Jewish is to be Jewish. a Jew is a Jew.

(this message does not include messianic jews)

Closet antisemites/racists love bringing up that the swastika is a Buddhist peace symbol (as if they give a shit about buddhism) like yeah it is but the skinhead white guy with a swastika tattoo isn't a Buddhist and the edgy teenagers who painted a swastika on a wall aren't Buddhists and you need to use the tiniest dash of critical thinking and common sense.

In a Buddhist temple its a peace symbol, scratched on some guys house its a hate symbol . And stop telling Jews they are being dramatic or chronically online for being upset/disturbed/scared or annoyed by swastikas!!

The Edinburgh Hebrew Congregation Orthodox Synagogue houses six stained windows by the distinguished Scottish stained glass artist William Wilson, RSA. These richly coloured works combine Jewish religious symbols with abstract and floral motifs with one depicting the act of Creation.

A YouTube video just dropped explaining the evolution of Jewish "denominations" (movements) from the Bible times until now. It's fairly American-centric once you get to modern time but still useful.

One of the funniest forms of religion-focused antisemitism to me is when people take issue with Jewish observance for being "archaic" or "stuck in the past" — and then most of the examples they cite are things that set us apart but have absolutely nothing to do with time period.

Like... guys, I'm pretty sure people who lived centuries ago thought keeping kosher was just as weird as you think it is now. This is not the innovative modern take that you think it is.

Sometimes cultural practices in the same era are just different. That's okay.

Anyway this might not sound like much, but this is a huge step for LGBTQ inclusion in Orthodox spaces, especially education.

Judaism is definitely not a cult, but I gotta say, it’s pretty hard to explain “we celebrate the new moon by blowing a ram’s horn on week one, swing a live chicken around our head while chanting in a biblical language the next week, and then we live in a hut for 7 days” without sounding a tad unhinged

if you're orthodox jewish and queer, how have your experiences been?

i guess it depends on where you live and the congregation, but i'm quite curious because i've heard about super open minded and accepting communities, and the total opposite.

Cover reveal!!

Hi tumblr, sorry I forgot you existed for like a year or something lol... 😅

So yeah, FYI for anyone who's read my comic about growing up gay and Orthodox Jewish here or somewhere else online, it's coming out as a physical book Feb 6!!!

You can preorder it here, or at plenty of other websites, or you can of course ask for it at your local comic shop / bookstore, and/or request it at your local library! Any of those would be amazing!!

Here are some really nice things some other cartoonists who've read it have said about it:

“I'm so glad this beautiful, thoughtful book exists for readers who need it; for anyone fighting their way out or searching for a clear path. I can't wait to share it with kids who need it!” —Lucy Knisley, author of Kid Gloves and Relish

“I loved this book! It is for any of us who have been othered by our upbringing. This book lets you know that the journey out is worth it.” —Shelby Criswell, author of Queer As All Get Out

“While the circumstances of growing up in a strict orthodox household are highly individual, the feelings of loneliness and confusion mixed with hope are universal. Read it and remember.” —Rob Kirby, author of Marry Me a Little

“This tenderly-drawn journey of self-definition gave me a peek into a very different world. I loved it.” —Hazel Newlevant, author of No Ivy League

I hope you like it!!! 💖

July 2023: Jerusalem Orthodox Jews pray as they read from Eicha, the Book of Lamentations, to mark Tisha B’av at the Western Wall in the Old City. In Judaism, Tisha B’Av is an annual fast day to mark the destruction of the first and the second temple by the Babylonian and Roman empires in Jerusalem

Jews who work within the Orthodox movement to improve equality and progress are so important and valuable.

I see you, LGBTQ Orthodox Jews who work to combat homophobia and transphobia.

I see you Orthodox Jewish women and allies who work to combat the Agunah crisis.

I see you Black Orthodox Jews who work to combat antiblackness.

I see you Orthodox Jewish Yoetzot Halacha and Rabbaniyot combatting sexism.

I see you Orthodox Jews-by-choice who work to combat conversion stigma.

You are all so incredible and courageous and loved and you are truly doing great Mitzvot. Hashem should bless you all.

[Goyim this is very much an intra-community post and I'm not really comfortable with non-Jews reblogging or commenting on this one. Sorry. I just can't risk it.]

Honestly how DARE the Barbie movie come out during the Nine Days.

I propose an early screening on Tuesday afternoon strictly for the frum Jews. I don’t want to wallow in self-pity for a week.

"Everything that the Holy One, Blessed be He, created in His world, He did not create anything for naught. He created a snail as a remedy for a sore; He created a fly to be crushed and spread as a remedy on a wasp sting; He created a mosquito as a remedy for a snake bite; and He created the snake itself as a remedy for a skin rash; and He created a gecko as a remedy for a scorpion bite.

The Gemara explains: How does one implement the remedy?

He brings two geckos, one black and one white, cooks them, and spreads the resulting ointment on the affected area.

With regard to these creatures, the Gemara cites that which our Sages taught: There are five dreads:

Dread that the weak cast over the mighty: The dread of the mafgia, a small creature, over the lion; the dread of the mosquito over the elephant; the dread of the gecko over the scorpion; the dread of the swallow over the eagle; the dread of the kilbit, a small fish, over a whale. Rav Yehuda said that Rav said: What is the verse that alludes to these matters? As it is written: “He that causes destruction [shod] to flash upon the mighty, so that destruction comes upon the fortress” (Amos 5:9), which is interpreted as: He who lifts the downtrodden [shadud] over the mighty."

-Babylonian Talmud, Shabbat 77b 6-7.
