I'm working at a Jewish summer camp right now for ages 8-16, and a couple weeks ago we let kids aged 13-14 do tish with the staff, because they were the oldest age group at that time. Then the older kids got here and they wanted to do that too, so last night we let them have a turn. They had a great time and are excited for tish next week.

So, fast forward to today at dinner. We're about halfway done, and the kids, being very excited for havdalah, are high energy and kind of just everywhere. One of the oldest kids picks up a banana, stands on his chair, and starts swinging it in circles above his head while singing just the yai-dai-dai portion of Mah Yedidut.

A nearby table for the second oldest age group doesn't have a banana, but they do have spoons and want to join in. This devolves into two different tables running in circles with objects and chaotically singing just the yai-dai-dai portion of Mah Yedidut at very different times.

Someone has a great idea: the kitchen has ladles, and ladles are much more exciting to swing around than bananas or spoons. At this point, most of camp is running around the dining hall doing this, so the younger campers who have absolutely no idea what is going on join in. They don't have bananas or ladles, but they do have plenty of utensils from dinner that they can shake in the air.

The problem is, now, that it's still Shabbos. And on Shabbos we don't use microphones. And there are about 100 campers excitedly running around the dining hall and singing loudly.

We finally did get them to quiet down by yelling Shabbat Shalom enough times, and because they knew havdalah was after. But I was worried for a minute about the possibility of only doing that all night long.

I’m curious about something. And I’m tagging jumblr because it’s obviously a largely Jewish tag but I’m not asking jumblr specifically I’m asking any converts, post conversion:

Please don’t vote if you’re not a convert, just say you aren’t and share in the tags if you have something to say

Someone tried to burn down a synagogue in Melbourne over shabbat. People were inside when it happened, but thankfully no one was hurt.

Two alleged attacks on Melbourne's Jewish community have unfolded overnight, with one targeting a synagogue.

An unknown man entered the grounds of the synagogue on Albert Street in East Melbourne at 8pm yesterday.

He poured flammable liquid on the front door of the religious building and set it alight before fleeing, Victoria Police said.

There were 20 people inside the synagogue at the time, however, everyone was able to evacuate from the back.

Fire crews were able to extinguish the blaze, which was contained to the front entrance.

Melbourne's Lord Mayor Nicholas Reece called the arson attack "shocking."

"These are absolutely shocking, unspeakable acts of cowards," Reece told Today.

"I cannot condemn this sort of behaviour in stronger terms... this is a city of peace and tolerance, and we will not stand for this.

"This goes against everything that we stand for."

The Lord Mayor also said the group were sharing a meal inside the religious building for Shabbat, the day of rest, when a young boy inside the synagogue alerted everyone to the fire.

Reece said police are gathering CCTV footage of the area and he is "confident" that they will catch the offender.

"I hope that we throw the absolute book at them... this is racism, this is anti-Semitic racism," he said.

"To target a Jewish place of faith on the Sabbath, there's people inside having a meal, to try to burn it to the ground...is there a more despicable act that you can think of in a busy city?"

Investigators are working to find a motive for the attack.

In a separate incident, a group of 20 protestors allegedly stormed and trashed an Israeli restaurant on Hardware Street in Melbourne's CBD.

Witnesses say the group was chanting "death to the IDF" before they arrived at the restaurant called Miznon.

Diners were fearful as the group threw food and chairs at windows and knocked over tables.

It's understood the incident took place about the same time as the fire.

Police have not linked the two.

Someone asked if it was ok for them to make a Jewish OC who used a Magen David necklace filled with knives like a throwing star in r/Judaism and all the comments are just like “yeah dude that’s rad as fuck”

I love my people

see your argument that israel doesn't need to exist for jewish safety would be a lot more valid if you would stop actively making the diaspora more unsafe for us
