A Chabad synagogue in Pomona, New York, burned to the ground on April 17th, along with its three Torah scrolls.
Torah scrolls are hand-written, hand-made, and kept in elaborately decorated cases or wrappings.
Many of them have long histories; my synagogue has two, I think, that were smuggled out of villages being destroyed in pogroms or in Nazi attacks. One of them is the only remaining piece of that village on earth.
Sometimes, the Torah scroll doesn't even belong to the synagogue, but is on loan from a place like the Memorial Scrolls Trust:
There's an entire Jewish holiday just for taking them out and dancing with them: Simchat Torah, "The Joy of Torah."
In fact, that was the holiday on which Hamas's invasion took place.
instagram
So it's a particular tragedy when a Torah is destroyed.
Chabad itself has a page about what goes into making just one Torah scroll:
"An authentic Torah scroll is a mind-boggling masterpiece of labor and skill. Comprising between 62 and 84 sheets of parchment -- cured, tanned, scraped and prepared according to exacting Torah law specifications -- and containing exactly 304,805 letters, the resulting handwritten scroll takes many months to complete.
"An expert pious scribe carefully inks each letter with a feather quill, under the intricate calligraphic guidelines of Ktav Ashurit (Ashurite Script). The sheets of parchment are then sewn together with sinews to form one long scroll. While most Torah scrolls stand around two feet in height and weigh 20-25 pounds, some are huge and quite heavy, while others are doll-sized and lightweight."
I learned all of this on Tumblr.
Once upon time, in people's "punch Nazis" days, I would've been able to find some mention on Tumblr of this synagogue burning.
There is none, so I'm posting about it.
And I'm going to quote Daniel Weiner, Rabbi of Temple de Hirsch Sinai in Bellevue, Washington, when his own synagogue was vandalized last November:
"It’s horrific and heartbreaking.... [Taking out your feelings about] what's going on in the Middle East by defacing a sacred space of a synagogue -- that’s the very definition of antisemitism."
I'm also posting about the Kehillat Shaarei Torah Synagogue in Toronto, whose windows were broken on Friday, April 19th, by someone who also tried to break the front door down.
And the April 15 graffiti outside a Bangor, Maine synagogue that said, "Nazi Israel 30K murdered," next to a crossed-out Star of David. The same synagogue faced pro-Hamas flyers plastered around it in November.
I was going to include all the synagogues vandalized over the past six months. But there are way too many. Several every week. Lots are swastikas.
I'll go back to just doing attacks on and near synagogues.
Someone has to talk about the 1-year-old who was stabbed outside Temple Beth Zion-Beth Israel (BZBI) synagogue, in Philadelphia, on April 13th.
The foiled terrorist attack on a Moscow synagogue on April 11th.
The man who, on April 9th, screamed at the rabbi at Moldova's Great Synagogue, "What are you doing here? How come no one has finished you off for everything you are doing to the Palestinians?" Just one week after people had vandalized a Holocaust memorial in nearby Soroka, and sprayed "Free Palestine" on it.
The Oldenburg, Germany synagogue that was firebombed on April 5th.
The Florida Las Olas Chabad Jewish Center, which on March 16 burned, but not to the ground. The Torah scrolls were safe, and no one was hurt, but the back of the building was severely damaged.
The planned-but-thwarted-on-March-7th ISIS massacre in a Moscow synagogue.
The stabbing of an Orthodox Jew in Switzerland on March 5th. (He was badly injured, but expected to survive.)
A man leaving a synagogue in Paris was beaten on March 3rd.
People set the courtyard of a synagogue in Sfax, Tunisia on fire on February 27th. Firefighters managed to put the fire out before it consumed the inside of the building.
The synagogue is no longer used; there are no Jews left in its area, and fewer than 1,000 Jews left in Tunisia overall.
(Thousands of Tunisian Jews were sent to work camps during the Holocaust. Antisemitism across the Middle East continued to increase rapidly for decades. By the 1970s, 90% of Tunisian Jews had fled to France or Israel.)
On February 18, an Orthodox Jew leaving Synagogue of Inverrary-Chabad in Lauderhill, Florida, was beaten by an attacker yelling racial slurs.
Someone deliberately chose International Holocaust Remembrance Day, January 27, to smash all the windows in the front of Sgoolai Israel Synagogue in downtown Fredericton, New Brunswick.
On December 29, Turkey arrested 32 people linked to ISIS who were planning attacks on synagogues and churches.
On December 17, a man drove a U-Haul truck up onto the sidewalk between a barrier and the front door of the Kesher Israel Congregation in Washington D.C., got out, and started yelling "Gas the Jews." He also sprayed a foul-smelling substance on two people leaving the synagogue.
December 17 also saw 400 synagogues across the United States receive bomb threats.
On December 11, a man attacked an elderly couple on their way into a synagogue in Los Angeles, screaming, "Give me your earrings, Jew!!" and beating one of them bloody with a belt. (Happily, he chased the guy down the street, and caught him when his pants fell down.)
On December 10, a 16-year-old was arrested in Vienna for planning an attack on a synagogue.
On December 8, on the first night of Hanukkah, 15 synagogues in New York State received bomb threats. And someone screamed, "Free Palestine," and fired shots outside of Temple Israel in Albany, NY. Which has a preschool that was in session.
Meanwhile, the five Jews left in Egypt were canceling public Hanukkah candle-lighting at their synagogue out of fear of reprisals. Particularly after two Israelis in Alexandria had been gunned down by terrorists on October 8. (While Israel was still fighting Hamas in Israel.)
On November 15, a terrorist group set the only synagogue in Armenia on fire.
Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA) has a history of working with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
(PFLP is part of Hamas's network of groups. Samidoun is their nonprofit arm - which is why Germany banned Samidoun last year, although it's still active in many other countries.
PFLP is also actively supported by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), a diaspora nonprofit group, and Within Our Lifetime (WOL), an SJP spinoff in NYC.)
On November 11, halfway through Shabbat services, police asked Central Shul in Melbourne, Australia to evacuate "as a precaution" due to a "pro-Palestinian" protest that had chosen the neighboring park as its gathering place. Australia has seen some very outspoken antisemitism at protests, including the march shortly after October 7 that chanted "Gas the Jews."
Also on November 11, protesters targeted a synagogue along a march route. They sat in their cars, spraying green smoke and shouting at people leaving the synagogue. The march itself featured a record number of horrifying signs and chants.
On November 7th, Congregation Beth Tikvah in Montreal was firebombed, and the back door of the Jewish organization across the street (Federation CJA) was set on fire.
On November 4, protesters chanted "Bomb Israel," and burned an Israeli flag outside the only synagogue in Malmo, Sweden.
During October, there were 501 antisemitic acts under investigation in France in just three weeks, including groups gathering in front of synagogues shouting threats, and graffiti such as the words “killing Jews is a duty” sprayed outside a stadium.
On October 18, people firebombed a synagogue in Berlin after homes all over the neighborhood were graffitied with stars of David.
And also on October 18, hundreds of "pro-Palestine" rioters attacked the Or Zaruah Synagogue, in the Spanish enclave of Melilla in North Africa, while worshippers were inside.
Based on the video, they seem to have blocked the synagogue entrance completely, while screaming "Murderous Israel" and waving Palestinian flags. (Melilla is an autonomous zone belonging to Spain. It borders Morocco.)
On October 17, during pro-Palestinian protests, hundreds of rioters set fire to Al Hammah synagogue, an abandoned house of prayer in central Tunisia. They hammered down the building’s walls and raised a Palestinian flag on the building. Police did not intervene.
The Facebook page "Tunigate", which has around 88 thousand followers, published a video of the assault. So did "Radio Bousalem”, with 83 thousand users. The vast majority of comments on these videos welcome these acts. The building was severely damaged and almost completely razed to the ground.
On October 15, bomb threats were sent to many East Coast synagogues. Attleboro synagogue Congregation Agudas-Achim received one of the emails, which read, "The bombs will blow up in a few hours. A lot of people will die. You all deserve to die."
On October 8 -- again, while Hamas was still in Israel -- Madrid’s main synagogue was defaced with graffiti that read “Free Palestine” next to a crossed-out Star of David.
And on October 7, an assailant in Rockland, NY fired a BB gun at two women entering a synagogue. Later in the month, a banner at the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue in the area was vandalized with the words, “Fuckin kikes."
#if you have used “Free Palestine” as if it's a sort of verbal assault you can shout in comments or scribble over flyers#if you are unwilling to hear what the Jewish term Zionism means to the people who use it#if you cannot name one Palestinian human rights activist#and most of all if you don't know how Hamas abuses Palestinians and you still think it's The Resistance#then you. are. the. problem.#if you don't know people in gaza have been protesting Hamas and blaming it for deliberately instigating a war they don't want#if you don't know how often they've spoken out about Hamas stealing aid and selling it to them#and especially if you don't want to believe me much less find Palestinians in Gaza to listen to#also if you didn't know about any of the stuff in this post BUT you have taken it upon yourself to tell Jews that “it's not antisemitism”#like seriously everyone deal with your learned distrust of Jews challenge#wall of words#fire tw#guns tw#violence tw#Instagram

Autistic Visual Thinking
Have to adapt to predominantly verbal communication culture in society
Convert verbal language into imagery to understand communication
May find it more difficult to organize visual thoughts when under pressure
Verbal language processing requires effort
May struggle with long sequences of verbal information
Need processing time to conceptualize visually what is being said verbally, then actively creating a verbal response
Visual thinking has a component-see things that others miss
Minds that are like oceans of images
Make rapid fire associations
Numbers and algebra can be abstract
Word based thinking can be a second language too
Details jump forward-notice things that seem off kilter immediately on entering a space
Can be late talkers
Deconstructing to learn
See images in their eyes mind
Struggle with traditional teaching method
Problem solvers
Photorealistic images - Cinematic - Short Films
Often doesn't require directions when traveling
May thrive in practical based activities
Look at the world from another persons point of view
Society not created for Visual thinkers

Fuyuhiko only lets people he trusts stay in his blind spot, and if he trusts someone, well he likes them a whole lot! 🤗
#Fuyuhiko kuzuryu#kazuichi souda#Dr2#Danganronpa#Danganronpa 2#Super danganronpa 2#Sdr2#super danganronpa goodbye despair#kuzusouda#The headcanon is that Souda shows affection by being physical and needs a looooooooot of verbal confirmation and affection bc hes insecure#And Fuyuhiko cannot bear to show affection like a normal person might unless he or the other person is dying#BUT if he trusts you it's like a cat choosing to lay on your lap. Its basically love#They will all learn to understand each other and their quirks soon. Friendshiplove languages included#An art#Fuyuhiko#Kazuichi

When Keith was a kid he made a lot of weird noises. (Galra shit) Like just straight up why is this human child growling right now. He quickly learned to mask it (one of the reasons he doesn’t like interacting with people very much) ,and only really does it around people he’s comfortable with.
Shiro and Adam kinda just got used to it and assumed it was some kinda vocal stim, Matt on the other hand was convinced he was some kind of Cryptid.
When he realized he was part Galra and started working with the blades he began learning what they meant
Like if he’s scared and out of it enough to not care, he’ll kinda whine or let out a high pitched keen.
If he’s sleepy or content he might basically purr, and if he’s annoyed at something he might hiss
He’ll start growling if he’s mad (it really freaks people out when he does it)
He also just hums and grumbles at stuff a lot instead of using words, partly because he’s not always super verbal, and partly because Galra often communicate general feelings and needs like that. Like instead of saying he’s hungry, he’ll just grumble at Shiro and Shiro has known him long enough to understand.
And if he’s trying to comfort someone he can make a kinda deeper purring noise that Galra tend to use to calm each other down, and say they’re safe.
I don’t know I’ve just always liked this headcannon.

we talk a lot about how current kids, teenagers, and parents never learned internet safety in this age of social media, but i think we also gotta be honest with ourselves that most of us, adults on the internet who participate in fandom, never really learned how to engage with young people without setting them up for disaster.
might be weird to say it like this, but it's important to leave people how you met them or better. like hiking or going to a nature reserve. if you are regularly talking to people on the internet, especially teenagers, you need to consider whether your behavior with them is how another, shittier person would take advantage of them, because you have no real way of protecting them if that happens. like if you're going into discords and saying 'hey i'm mom! let me help you with your homework and irl issues. also please feel free to vent to me if you have any mental health issues or problems at home" you have to understand that the next person who says that to them may be leaving out the end of their plan; "that would make you easier to abuse."
sometimes you have to say "you seem fun and have a lot of great ideas but you are also 15, so if you wanna talk fandom, here are the boundaries we're going to follow, because these are the boundaries other adults should be following with you." or just refuse to talk to kids.
you decide what your responsibility, is but what you can't do is build an illegal fire pit on the hiking trail, if you catch my drift.
#the last post i reblogged reminded me of my longstanding vendetta against fandom parents#and while i've held this opinion for years i think i can finally verbalize it in a way that makes sense?#dont get people used to red flags!!!! do not be the reason someone things red flags are normal!!!#this is not to say you can never be friends intergenerationally. just that like...#a lot of friendships i was in as a kid were like lightening. fast and strong and over quickly#and what i learned was that it was fine to progress to very personal details quickly.#dont be lightening. be a hiker. keep a reasonable speed and dont be afraid to say 'you're walking very quickly on an unknown path. slow dow#also just. to be clear. i dont think this is a personal failing i see this as a consequence of all of US having INSANE relationships too#like many of us are still struggling to figure out boundaries with IRL people after that.#and trying to do right by the young people we see in the same shoes now is a daunting and confusing task with which we can only do our best

fully supportive of cass learning sign language and the fanon that she uses it more than spoken language but also. so many of you act as if its a lesser version of communication and she'll automatically be a pro/not struggle with it. its still a complex language that has structure, grammar, vocabulary and syntax. theres so many different factors for it, even within just one region - different signing styles, dialects, slang, as well as actual variations (asl, pse, see)
just because you rely on verbal communication doesnt mean nonverbal or alternative versions of communication is a lesser version than your normal
sign language, writing, variant types of aac devices and resources. its all methods of communication. it all deserves to be treated with the respect and regard that vocal languages are treated with
#if i see one more person thinking asl is just baby sign language#yes you can use gestures to convey a thought ! it doesn't mean you're speaking a language!#you wouldn't say youre fluent in fucking french because you know how to ask for the restroom. you wouldn't say you know german because you#know ich liebe dich. you wouldn't say you know spanish because you said gracias instead of thank you#cass gesturing with her hand that someone was a blabbermouth or pointing to jasons heart isnt evidence she knows a complex#and rich language. its treating people that use it as a lesser version of your normality and its ableist.#absolutely make her learn it ! but its a language that takes time to learn and be effective for communication. body language#is her first language. not english. not eventually asl. she'll struggle with sign just as much as a verbal language.#the d in dcu is for disabled#cassandra cain#posts from the crypt

feel free to explain in the tags
#like im an artist but i think im a verbal thinker#its very interesting — im doing some reading for my class#about how autistic minds process information and what we can learn from the way people on the spectrum interpret the world#and how teachers often fail autstic and ND students because they aren’t able to recognize the way in which they think#everyone learns differently and we dont extend that courtesy to everyone and thats so so so unfair#polls

I have never seen anyone talk about how in Larry's trial, when Phoenix gives him the signal to either lie or tell the truth, Larry understands the gestures Phoenix is doing.
I feel like we should talk about this more. They really are best friends.
#i can imagine Mia next to him confused as to wtf her protege's doing‚ and gets even more baffled when Larry seemingly understands#either that or both of them know sign language#i think that'd also be neat#like maybe Edgeworth went non-verbal sometimes as a kid and they wanted to learn for him#then when Edgeworth moved away‚ they kept learning both incase he came back and bc it was fun to talk to each other like that#it was sort of a secret way of communicating for them#what sucked was when some adults would accuse them of doing 'gang signs'#anyways just my thoughts#ace attorney#ace attorney trilogy#phoenix wright#larry butz#phoenix wright ace attorney#aa#aa trilogy

Put in the tags whether your FE3H OC would thrive outside of their "main" route or not!
#fe3h oc#fe3hoc#fodlansona#fire emblem three houses oc#hillevi lore#as for hillevi her main route is CF#SS would be interesting because in this route (for canon compliance reasons) she'll say that edelgard's methods are too extreme#even if she agrees with the reasoning behind them#AM would definitely not be that good for her#because Hillevi has a lot of expectations on what kind of nation Faerghus would be#but the more she learns about it the more she's like... disappointed? unhappy?#especially with how faerghus' culture chivalry and crest advantages affecting her peers and classmates#also the whole thing with Faerghus being too connected with the church wouldnt sit too well with her#VW she would thrive though#claude is there to teach her about almyran stuff a lot once she learns about his heritage#and also claude does stand up against rhea at some point verbally

re-reading Mal’s Spellbook
Evie should be meaner, actually??? But also, a) Jay has totally fine handwriting in the spellbook, the font they chose for his writing is way more legible than the one they chose for Mal, and b) is this what the kids are mean about these days???
#me writing a silly little fic where Jay has genuinely awful handwriting due to like. undiagnosed dyslexia.#which is important for his school character arc because he genuinely believes that he’s bad at school#and also relies almost completely on his verbal memory of whatever they went over in class#he can debate just fine!! His logic is sound#he’s just#really slow at reading and his handwriting is genuinely atrocious#he dictates essays to the school laptop they ‘stole’ from the library#the others read assignments out loud for their shared classes#and like. He’s not stupid. He can cover for it. But the thing about being in school full time and covering for a learning disability#is that it’s exhausting and unsustainable#and going to lead to a breakdown eventually#even if that’s just failing a test#and being found out#anyway if anybody is still reading my older fic this is why Jay’s in the offset testing blocks in my ongoing cinderellaverse#he gets extra time on tests because of the dyslexia#he probably also uses a red filter over the page when he reads because that’s the breakthrough that helped my irl dyslexic sister#anyway someday I’ll actually write all of my school thoughts into a real fic

So I had a fix-it idea for TBOSAS a while back that’s just… I don’t know what I was smoking because I don’t actually smoke but I need another hit.
Essentially, there’s a virtual reality headset thing and as always the games are postponed because of the arena’s state, so to keep the populous entertained the tributes do virtual reality stuff. It’s not very fun for them because it’s horror. Eventually it’s Treech’s turn, and everything goes as the others have until he gets to the remake of a castle of some very influential capitol family and Treech sees the unthinkable…
Pine furniture
For those of you who don’t know, pine is a very easy wood to work with so it would most definitely be one of the district 7 workers’ favorites. However, it’s also one of the most common woods out there, meaning it’s cheap. Very cheap. And the richer people get, the more they care about the label and price. So Treech is like “nu uh” and rips off the headset to properly look Dr Gaul in the eye while explaining to her all the ways in which this is not a proper simulation of the real thing. She tries to argue (because being told off by a district kid has got to be a big blow to her ego) only to be shushed and for Treech to go on a full on rant. Lamina joins in too. They reveal some of the realities of the horror that is life in the districts and their little show of having big opinions on (to the capitol) minor things shows their humanity. This dominoes to a fix-it, but what I’m more focused on is stuff like this:
“the furniture in a big ass caste worth more than my entire district was made of pine? PINE?! WHAT?!?!” He screeches, voice cracking with slowly growing hysteria.
“No!” Lamina exclaims. “I fucking wish! Do you know how much easier my life would be if filthy rich assholes cared even a little less about wasting money?!”
One of the mentors: “What’s the issue? It’s just wood…”
“Just wood? Just wood?! IT’S PINE! PINE!!”
#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#the hunger games#10th hunger games#tbosas#hunger games#treech tbosas#treech#tbosas treech#fix it au#treech thg#lamina#thg lamina#tbosas lamina#lamina thg#lamina tbosas#district 7 kids are passionate about their wood types#do not try them#you will be verbally torn to shreds#Dr Gaul learned this the hard way
