Shabbat shalom from our Sylvanian Family

The Shabbat set was made out of air dry clay, mostly by my wonderful girlfriend.

walking into erev rosh hashanah services tomorrow like "what a fucking year, my man"

Every day I think about how I opened up to a friend about a threat that was sent to my synagogue, and her initial response was confusion, followed by a statement that whoever sent the threat should know that “Judaism is not the same as zionism.”

I’ve never felt more scared realizing that people I know and work with could rationalize threats of attacks at local American synagogues if the synagogue was ✨Zionist✨

And I think about it all the time, because that was supposed to be a statement of comfort in her mind. With the implication was that I was a good, non Zionist conversion student and had nothing to worry about.

It’s not that people can be grossly antisemitic. Their intention and values were just aimed at the wrong place?? 🤨🙄

I know this isn’t a new line of thinking. But it was jarring to hear it said to my face.

What are your thoughts on hairy men wearing crop tops? Personally I believe it would fix a lot of problems in society, especially if accompanied by much shorter shorts

my thoughts are that the mashiach will be a hairy man in a crop top and booty shorts.
