A fantastic video from Dr. Mike about the Jews who developed a vaccine for typhus during the Holocaust, and even prevented the nazis from using it on soldiers during the war. I didn't know about this before and it's absolutely amazing. Dr. Mike is the best.

In today’s video, I’ll show you not just one, but several ways to respond to “thank you” in Hebrew—so you can sound natural, confident!

who the fuck is @/strength4israel (on instagram), why is she so racist, and why are people seemingly ok with it? i think ive seen her posts once or twice but never read past the title page. today i read a few and so many of them are awful. her reportage isnt that bad, but her opinions are always the most blantantly bigoted shit that has nothing in common with jewish morals

אני לא מאמין שבשנת ה' אלפים תשפ"ה לפ"ג, ביום א' לסדר "ויקח את העגל אשר עשו וישרוף באש עד אשר דק" למניין שאנו מונים כאן ירושלים עיר הקודש תובב"א, נקראתי בעל תרבות דתית! סהדי במרומים, ה' ישים את נפשותיכם בכף הקלע ואינני ערב לכם.

The hazard of being on WhatsApp is that a Rabbi will somehow manage to find you on there and guilt you into coming to Shabbat dinner.

do you have any idea how to deal with finding out just how antisemitic your parents are after telling them you want to convert?

First of all, I want to send all my love and condolences to you. I cannot imagine how you feel.

This is not the same per se (though I do think this is somewhat analogous), but for many years after I came out as trans as a kid, my dad was incredibly transphobic. I'm talking transphobic to the degree that I was begging my healthcare providers to tell them nothing about me to him - transphobic to the degree where I thought I would have to cut him off.

What helped me in that time was remembering that I exist outside of him. I did not require him to live life, make friends, and explore who I am.

In this space, I think it is vital to have community. If you can, you might try finding a local jewish organization. It even helps to have online friends with whom you can talk, vent, or ask for support or guidance. However you can find connection is good - if you can help it, please seek it.

I don't want to make any assumptions about your situation, but I will say... My dad isn't transphobic anymore. He's actually grown to a point that he's quite literally unrecognizable in the best way possible. I truly hope that your folks are able to grow from this, and while it won't change that they were antisemitic, it does help being able to say they were so.

Project Esther

Okay, Jumblr, we all know about Project 2025, the roadmap the Heritage Foundation wrote for destroying the United States that Operative Krasnov and Mr. Apartheid are using to dismantle the United States.

Well, the Heritage Foundation has another roadmap, Project Esther. Their plan to "help us" by "combatting antisemitism". It even successfully identifies the nightmares going on on college campus "protests" as a problem that needs addressing. Unfortunately, that one sentence elevator pitch is the only sanity it has.

I know we don't trust Wikipedia, and for good reasons, but it's still unfortunately the best resource for summaries on things like this, and to quote the relevant article,

"The effort has received the support of a number of evangelical Christian but no major Jewish organizations. It has been criticized by journalist Steve Rabey for incorporating antisemitic tropes into its rhetoric, and by Slate and Haaretz for not addressing right-wing antisemitism.[1][2][3]"

and

"The project reportedly struggled to find Jewish organizations with which to partner, while sidelining those that do partner with it.[8][9]

The group has targeted eight "masterminds"—George Soros, Alex Soros, JB Pritzker, Angela Davis, Manolo de los Santos, Vijay Prashad, Neville Singham, and Jodie Evans—who it believes are at the center of progressive politics. The Soros family is the subject of a number of longstanding antisemitic conspiracy theories that match the language used by Project Esther.[10]"

To that I would add that not only are the Soros family a popular target of antisemitic conspiracy theory, but JB Pritzker is a popular and prominent Jewish governor who occasionally gets 2028 presidential speculation - and this is a sign that he will get the same antisemitic conspiracy theory as he becomes more prominent outside of Illinois.

So, its pretty easy to see where this is going. They're going to try to perpetuate antisemitism to take out prominent and/or powerful Jews, using opposition to a common enemy (actual antisemites) as a trojan horse to get us on-side.

Two important notes for this, one for each of the major Jewish populations.

1.

My fellow American Jews, we need to be very, very, very careful about this sort of divide and conquer, and choose our allies wisely.

We cannot afford to ally with the pro-Hamas nuts who want to kill American Jews but oppose the fascists, but we absolutely cannot afford to ally with the fascists who have established intent to try to use our fear of the pro-Hamas nuts to get us to subjugate ourselves and destroy of our own voices speaking out for us in favor of the "Jews should all go to Israel to be good little human sacrifices for our summon Jesus ritual" philosemites.

It's already begun in some ways - Operative Krasnov has broken the long-standing tradition of naming a Jewish-American to be Ambassador to Israel, naming a prominent Evangelical instead.

Keep an eye out for what shape their "cracking down on Antisemitism" takes - it may start with punishing openly pro-Hamas folks, but will move on to punishing Jews who don't fit their philosemitic caricature soon enough and if we get caught unprepared, we may not make it. We cannot afford to be surprised, and we cannot afford to either try to make it out of this alone or make allies purely on an enemy-of-my-enemy basis. We need to be prepared, we need to make friends, and we need to be as careful as humanly possible

2.

Israeli Jews, I'm begging you. Watch out for this, we WILL need your help with this. Your current insane government is allying itself to the fascists running America. This is convenient for you geopolitically in the short term, but please, for the love of Hashem, do not let them trick you about us.

The time will come, and its not too far off, when the current American regime tries to move forward with Project Esther and start declaring prominent American Jews who dare not toe the Evangelical Christian definition of what Judaism is line of being "antisemitic" and persecute us to as much of an extent as they can force the law to accommodate, and for the sake of geopolitics I fear that your government is going to back them up instead of fulfilling its promise to be a safe place to flee to and a voice of advocacy and protection for Diaspora Judaism.

We, the Jews of America, are counting on you, the Jews of Israel, to be our voice in Israeli Politics. When America starts implementing Project Esther declaring publicly that prominent Jews are the "real source of antisemitism" and trying to "protect the Real Jews" by persecuting actual real Jews. When your government responds by telling you your kin across the ocean are enemies and to be happy open nazis are oppressing us. When, soon, that day comes, we are depending on you to protest and advocate for us to the Israeli government to make sure it speaks out in our defense as our ancestral home and heart, rather than speaking out against us as a geopolitical ally of our persecutor. If for no other reason, then to make it legal for us to flee to Israel when all other options have been denied to us, to prevent the Israeli government from telling us to get fucked because by voting for Democrats in American Elections we were deemed "antisemites" unworthy of making Aliyah or whatever

This all sounds like conspiracy mongering. So did Project 2025. The Heritage Foundation is very real, very powerful, and very prominent - we cannot afford to take anything they say less than deadly seriously, and so we cannot afford to ignore Project Esther.

Am Yisrael Chai, and Am Yisrael Michpacha.
