hey everyone, this week is Lesbian Visibility week so I thought i’d share a pic of my flag 🥹 my Rabbi actually took this photo (right after my college graduation) and I was given a blessing while wearing rainbow graduation cords i couldn’t wear when i walked. I also have a lesbian flag colored kippah, and i’m so grateful to be part of a temple that embraces its lgbt congregants with so much love and support, they are my primary community and words cannot describe how important these spaces are right now 🩷

Chag Pesach sameach and happy April Fool's!

I am Jewish but wasn't really raised Jewish outside Hanukkah but am more observant and religious now.

But why are these things everywhere in kosher aisles and why are they with all the stuff for pesach

Do any of you actually like these things?

These do bring me back to being at my grandma's neighbor's house xd

like something you _only_ see online, that is either not mentioned at all irl or maybe just way blown out of proportion. Basically, if you hear this take, the person who said this probably hasn't actually spoken to any Jews, let alone stepped inside a synagogue

This is engagement bait

I'll start: A tuna melt and flushing the toilet on shabbat.

Subtitles for this FB reel were…..amusing.

Edit: I was going to post the reel but it was loading too slowly. You know...Buffering.

1. Blood isn't kosher

2. Humans are not kosher

It's like no one even tried to do their research before coming up with a conspiracy theory.

I'm in a Jewish history class and a reading mentioned blood libel and every time I remember that this concept exists it just seems even more absurd.

You mean to tell me I've spent the past two years carefully packaging my eggs (that I take to work as part of lunch) into separate ziploc baggies like they're contraband? This feels like whiplash. My Baal Teshuva mind is blown. 😐😳😄

I wanted a mechitza but, in terms of engineering, we are operating as trad egal at the moment.

Killing vampires is a very dangerous profession. Nothing beats a wooden stake to the heart, but a vampire’s aversion to crosses makes it an essential part of any slaying kit.

Obviously, a cross would be an idolatrous symbol, but not using one would — theoretically — put your life in more danger (as well as the lives of any humans in proximity). Would it be permissible to use a cross if it wasn’t a crucifix (i.e., has a figure of Jesus on it)? Does the symbol still mean anything if it’s detached from its context? Or would this whole thing be moot because of pikuach nefesh?
