In honor of Pesach, I thought I'd ask Tumblr's Frog Guy: which frogs were possible contenders for the Frog Plague?

Ptychadena nilotica or Pelophylax saharicus; see this previous ask on precisely this topic :)

My soul is calling out for Hashem and noodles. I truly understand the angst of the Israelites as they left Egypt.

Yooo jumblr! If you’re eating bread tonight/tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’re gonna have?

I’m gonna have a bagel sandwich tomorrow. I’m so excited.

i think an important part of pesach is making horrible matzoh creations that would make moshe himself ask what the fuck you’re doing

Page of the Ashkenazi Haggadah, published in the 15th. Century in what would become modern day south Germany. This page contains the recitation “Ha Lachma Anya”, translated in full here: “This is the bread of affliction that our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. Anyone who is hungry should come and eat, anyone who is in need should come and partake of the Pesach sacrifice. Now we are here, next year we will be in the land of Israel; this year we are slaves, next year we will be free people”.

"Kill them with kindness" wrong. 10 PLAGUES OF EGYPT!🩸🩸🩸🐸🐸🐸🪰🪰🪰🐅🐅🐅🐂🐂🐂🥵🥵🥵⛈️⛈️⛈️ 🦗🦗🦗 🌑🌑🌑🪦🪦🪦

I’m not sure I agree that the prince of Egypt never casts doubt on the existence of other gods,

Whenever the pharo’s magicians perform their own attempted miracles like conjuring snakes it’s alway’s done in shadow or behind a curtain, thus making it entirely plausible they’re just doing magic tricks, slight of hand and whatnot.

This is not a religious discussion simply a movie analyst’s lol.

this is true, and it's a point I kind of dislike about the movie, but what I've meant to say is that the movie never outright says that the Egyptian g-ds aren't real. (and if I did say "the movie never casts doubt" then my bad oopsie uwu)

this is 100% a display of "the Egyptian g-ds are doing nothing and the magicians are using tricks", but at no point does a character say "your g-ds are false! they're not doing anything! your magicians are a scam!" the most obvious interpretation is that the Egyptian g-ds are false, sure, but there's still room for other interpretations, such as:

the Egyptian g-ds can't perform the same type of miracles, and thus the magicians have to rely on tricks.

the magicians don't actually believe in the g-ds they worship and are abusing the role they're in.

the magicians assume they have to perform the same miracles because they've never seen their g-ds perform these types of miracles, so they're lacking faith (not tfhe same as having no faith).

meta argument: if the movie showed the magicians perform real miracles, that would mean that the Egyptian g-ds were 100% real in the story, and thus they're taking a stance. having it up for interpretation is much safer for a faithful interpretation of the story.

these are all potential interpretations that don't outright deny the existence of the Egyptian g-ds in the movie, but explain it as the them either not being as powerful or their followers lacking the same amount of faith the Hebrews have in their g-d.

and there's another g-d mentioned in the movie, I'm not sure from what religion, but it was the religion Moses's wife believed in, they've mentioned a g-d in their song or smth. that god's existence was never put into question and barely even mentioned. (she wasn't a Hebrew was she? I can't remember her outside of the movie)

and last thing, the g-d of the Hebrews was always presented AS the g-d of the Hebrews, and never just g-d, that's how he presented himself to Moses as well.

tldr: yeah, the movie isn't doing that much to present the Egyptian g-ds as real, but it's not outright dismissing them either, there's room for interpretation for both sides of the argument, and I believe that's intentional. again this is just looking at the movie and not the original story.

I'm a bit late, but anyways.

Happy Passover from Rudy Giuliani

My absolute favorite part about keeping kosher for Passover is scanning the list of ingredients for yeast extract or nuts if you keep kitniyot, and then being horrified by all the chemicals you're putting into your body.

"what the hell is carcinogens-are-us doing in my slushee!? What is toxic-radiation-fun-time in this cheese for??"

Then completely forgetting about that the second you figure out it doesn't have anything you're avoiding.

"I guess I can have I-am-poison-incarnate- no nuts, corn syrup, yeast extract or all that other problematic stuff. This concoction of synthetic chemical compounds might start the next pandemic, but a girl's gotta eat!"

PS- ofc get the kosher for passover certification if you can, but this is about a bunch of college students at 7/11 at 1 AM, STRUGGLING.
