I'm gonna be 100% real with you in that this is an entirely earnest question and not meant to be me throwing shade or being obtuse in any way.

Osiris is Jewish? I missed this in lore somewhere probably?

Yep! In the opening cutscene to Curse of Osiris, Osiris briefly curses in a non-English language when trying to arrange the cubes. The language spoken is Hebrew! This is due to his voice actor, Oded Fehr, who is Jewish and from Israel and naturally speaks Hebrew. Here's my other post about it!

If it had been just his VA being Jewish, we could speculate about it, but Osiris speaking Hebrew is canon due to this cutscene; they let Oded say this and also kept the line in. This makes him Egyptian Jewish and canonically speaking at least three languages: English, Hebrew (cutscene) and Arabic (the word "sagira" is Arabic for "little one"). Here's also a link to the old Curse of Osiris reveal stream where the devs said that "really early on we made a commitment, we wanted to make sure he was Middle Eastern and he's actually even voiced by Oded Fehr." This shows that his heritage and little details surrounding him are very much relevant.

A lot of Destiny storytelling about heritage is told through names and languages as little details to pick up on. For example, Elsie Bray is very much heavily implied to be Muslim. Back with Beyond Light lore, we got a lot of details about the Bray family, including Sylvie Bray, the mother of Elsie, Willa and Alton. She was shown speaking English and French (+ a single Italian word), and Elsie was shown replying to her using French and the specifically Muslim term "inshallah" which is Arabic. This is repeated in Lightfall's Collector's Edition in Elsie's booklet, showing that Elsie followed the same faith as her mother, or at least honored it:

"Oh daughter," Mom squeezes me tight "You can't make them love you, inshallah. You have to let go."— The horror consumed her as easily as the Stasis. She felt like a frightened child cast loose in the wind. Alone. Every assertion of control met by a temper tantrum in the face of a hurricane…. "Inshallah." She half-remembered her mother's words, and let go.

Words hadn't saved her, or her mother's faith.

Adding this mostly to show how details about names and languages are used to tell us information without having to spell it out directly, but rather to add to the storytelling. This means that these details about Osiris aren't just random, or at least their outcome isn't, now that it's been allowed to become canon through one of the most important cutscenes.

Burdick Legacy 1898 | PART 2

The Burdick kids all made friends with the neighboring children. Frederick, to Tabitha’s disapproval, spent a good chunk of time with Anna Thomas and Juliette Dupont. She was troubled that he’d turn into a scoundrel just like his uncle. Bridget and Rudy didn’t seem to take issue with it. Their generation was doomed.

Elsie had a harder time clicking with Anna and Juliette. Arthur Norwood, who’s sister Bertha had grown close with Henrietta, was always nice to her. They were shy around each other, but enjoyed sitting together sometimes.

Henrietta and Bertha spent their time talking about the animals on their farms and watching the clouds. 

Henrietta had much more fun messing with the more serious Arthur and trying to make him laugh. He began to give into her silliness and found himself enjoying goofing off a bit.

Rites of Passage page 2! Oh boy. Elsie is so clearly beyond traumatised in a way that really can't be helped in this situation. It's understandable for sure. I also love how Ikora stands by Eris here and defends her, even as she has doubts herself.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Beauty and the Beast trope where both members are like, competing and one-upping each other on beastliness??? It’s rad as hell man, somebody tell the modern fantasy authors to get on Noshir and Ashly’s level

The Season of the Seraph's finale was as touching and moving as any scene in Destiny thus far. The tying off of multiple storylines, characters reaching their apex, and events setting up the final confrontation. Ugh, this is why I play this game!
