Humansofjudaism Via Instagram: This Torah Was Completed And Dedicated On The One-year Anniversary Of

Chronic illness vibes refusing to stop for the high holidays shouldn’t surprise me, but I’m still upset about it

2020.06.20

I don't know how to explain the feeling of hearing the shofar, something my ancestors heard millenia ago and a tradition which has persevered despite uncountable attempts to end us. I hear the sound in my bones. This is our tradition and we will never let it go

Another delightful shul moment I wish I could capture. A dad rushing in last second to make sure his baby’s little hand touches the Torah and then kissed his baby’s little fingers instead of his tzitzit.

I wasn’t going to post anything else today with all that has happened in Israel but evil will not win.

While my heart and prayers are with all the victims and my people, here is a simple lesson on Jewish traditions during Rosh Hashanah.

Traditional Rosh Hashanah foods are symbolic, reflecting hope, renewal, and blessings for the new year. Key examples:

Apples in honey – Wishing for a sweet new year.

Round challah – Symbolizes life’s cycle and continuity, often sweetened with raisins.

Pomegranates – Represent abundance and the 613 commandments

Fish head – Symbolizes the hope to lead and make progress.

These foods are part of the Rosh Hashanah seder, accompanied by prayers and blessings for a fruitful and positive year.

Hi! This is literally not what Kamala Harris said at all.

Here is what she DID say:

On Oct. 7, Hamas, a terrorist organization, slaughtered 1,200 Israelis. Many of them young people who were simply attending a concert. Women were horribly raped. And so absolutely, I said then, I say now, Israel has a right to defend itself. We would. And how it does so matters. Because it is also true far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed. Children, mothers. What we know is that this war must end. It must when, end immediately, and the way it will end is we need a cease-fire deal and we need the hostages out. And so we will continue to work around the clock on that. Work around the clock also understanding that we must chart a course for a two-state solution. And in that solution, there must be security for the Israeli people and Israel and in equal measure for the Palestinians. But the one thing I will assure you always, I will always give Israel the ability to defend itself, in particular as it relates to Iran and any threat that Iran and its proxies pose to Israel. But we must have a two-state solution where we can rebuild Gaza, where the Palestinians have security, self-determination and the dignity they so rightly deserve.
