Forgive me if this is a stupid question or flat-out incorrect, but isn’t divination/tarot forbidden in Judaism?
Not a silly question at all, but no: divination is not forbidden in Judaism (sanctioned uses for it are debated).
We have a blog post dedicated to Jewish Divination, which you can read here.

Twice mended socks. I think I’ve had these for like 10 years. I can remember wearing them in high school.

Oh, beloved pomegranate, how wondrous you are 🌿
We are quickly approaching pomegranate season in our part of the world; perfectly coinciding with the New Year which is approaching just as quickly.
Do you plan on ladening your Rosh Hashanah table with pomegranates? If you’re not Jewish, what is your cultural connection to the delightful pom? Share with us in the comments!
Side note: can you believe that there isn’t a pomegranate emoji? We need to do something about that!
This post doesn’t focus too much herbalism, but if you are interested in learning about pomegranates in that regard [particularly SWANA & Jewish connections], @rowanandsage offers that education over on Herbaria—And they currently have a discount for 20% off your first month with “RIMON”!* You can find it on rowanandsage.com
*We are not affiliated with Herbaria, nor is this an affiliate code! Just sharing the resource.

Most Christian Zionists are Evangelical & Fundamentalist Christians; however, the ideology has adherents within all Christian denominations [including Mormonism]. 
They exist globally; this is not solely an American phenomenon. 
The largest Zionist organization in America is a Christian organization. 
The largest Zionist organization has more Christian members than there are Jewish Americans alive.
As of 2021, there are roughly 7.5 million American Jews. Christians United for Israel alone has over 10 million Christian members.
 There more than 30 million Christian Zionists in the United States alone. That’s double the population of Jews worldwide.
Antisemitism is the lifeblood of the Christian Zionist. Substituting care for Jews with nationalism [based in belief in the coming Rapture], Christian Zionists wield antisemitism as a tool.T
They use antisemitism in the Diaspora to entice Jews to move under the guise of ‘safety’, propelling & furthering their agenda of gathering all Jews in the Holy Land.
Christian Zionists are happy to promote antisemitic propaganda, misinformation, & legislation in order to achieve this goal.

Did you know that Judaism has a New Year of the Trees?
I see the ancient groves of olive trees and my heart breaks, it twists in my chests to see our community say it’s worth it to flood the land with sea water, to salt the earth, and destroy one another, somehow claiming this in the name of Judaism.
Judaism teaches magic in the trees; teaches that the roots ground us, that the branches bring us to HaShem and HaShem to Us. There is a famous Jewish idea that we are not in the business of going to heaven but in bringing Heaven to us.
Tu B’Shevat is this week 🕯️🌱 how will you be celebrating?
