The most liminal feeling in judaism is knowing history that's deeply shaped jewish communities and yet... nobody but jews talk about it. Obviously, this isn't unique to judaism, but it's a very specific reminder that jewish history matters more to you than it does anyone else

#jumblr #jewish history #personal thoughts tag #the most insane part is me learning about one such mile marker of jewish history meant i knew more than a good 40-60% of people #like it's almost horrifying how *little* people can know about jewish history. even when it's right in front of them #i always had an interest in jewish history even well before i decided to convert #but what's insane is while i didn't know shit about fuck back then... I still knew MORE than a good CHUNK of people #and like i said: this isn't unique to jewish history #hell you could look around in the u.s. and see how little people know about Black and native history #and i imagine there might be a similar liminal feeling for those communities but obviously... my scope is limited to judaism #antisemitism tw #just for the implication #though huge reminder that i STILL don't know shit about fuck about jewish history because... it is THOUSANDS of years old #my issue is definitely not with people who don't know Every Tiny Detail and i hope that goes without saying #if anyone reads these tag rants ever: feel free to share education about jewish history if you feel so inclined🩵#i'm grateful for everyone who has shared knowledge. it's a very very beautiful thing and very kind
