Reblog to hug your Jewish mutuals

someone else has probably said this, but im realizing with each passing day that one can either be a safe jew or a proud jew. and right now there are no safe jews, so that leaves me with one choice.

I love being Jewish. I love the way a bracha rolls off my tongue, half whisper, half inheritance, and suddenly I'm not alone.

I'm stitched to something older than exile, older than fear.

There are generations behind me, candlelit and stubborn, who prayed with the same words, who wept and danced and buried their dead with the same rhythms.

Through halacha, through ritual, through the ache of tradition, I belong.

עם ישראל חי

OP you need to say this so much louder for the people in the back!

If you’re not Jewish, you can kindly shut the fuck up about the following:

The Talmud

Zionism

What is or is not antisemitism

The word “goy/goyim”

Jumblr: Feel free to add more.

[sillyjewishbug]

dont forget!!

If you’re Jewish, 18 or older, and live in the United States, vote tonight or tomorrow in the World Zionist Congress.

After tomorrow, there won’t be another election for 5 years, so do the voting now.

[sillyjewishbug]

Goyim who think that you can tell whether someone is Sephardi/Ashkenazi/Mizrachi/other based on skin tone shut the fuck up about jewish culture and community dynamics challenge

[sillyjewishbug]

i’m going to israel in a couple months and i really wanna learn more hebrew (i only know the basics) and i was wondering wondering if anyone had good recommendations for good apps/sites (not duolingo pls) id love to hear them! also preferably free or free for students!

[sillyjewishbug]

this one. this one right here.

I hate you "Abrahamic", I hate you "Judeo-Christian", I hate you Protestant interpretations being the academic standard, I hate you "BC/AD", I hate you "X amount of years before Chr*st", I hate you academic supercessionism, I hate you ignoring Jewish translations and interpretations, I hate you "The Bible", I hate you making sweeping statements about Judaism even though you have no authority to, I hate you "expert in religion", I hate you casual academic antisemitism.

i didnt forget to update earlier, what are you talking about-

SUCCESS idk how i pulled that off but my first ever pesakh with two seders has indeed happened!! nothing caught fire either b"h

i am gonna *try* to do a solo seder for the first night of pesakh, since i go to my family's on the second night. . . wish me luck!! i definitely procrastinated too close to the sun and am panicking but i think that is a fairly common jewish experience lmao

hopefully i dont burn the house down trying to figure out a pre-existing flame for chag pesakh candles!
