What Can I Do To Help Stop The War?

LMAO I just found out that it’s Stress Awareness week.

The reading comprehension and overall common sense on this website is piss poor.

If your first reaction to learning a Jew is a zionist is to start being antisemitic, you were antisemitic in the first place.

i’m actually pretty cool just give me like 5 tries to get it right

Jewishly anthropomorphizing and pitying the final candle on the chanukiah. It's not one of those that goes over and over, that lights up the songs every night, that sees every present and hears every giggle, kids taking turns on alternating nights, its base caked with islands of melted wax. It is left for the very very end and only goes once per year. And maybe by then, people are a bit worn out on dreidels and latkes and gelt and so the last candle never even meets some of its seasonal friends. It's okay, baby, you finally get your turn, we wouldn't forget you. Next year it will be different. Next year you'll meet them too.

It's the exact opposite of Tekiah Gedolah - which also only happens once but is unambiguously the star, the main attraction, all the oodles of Tekiahs seen as warm-ups by comparison for their gigantic grand finale elder brother, everybody's favorite and no one even pretends to hide it. I admire the Tekiahs for sticking to their role without one note of resentment or envy - which they totally absolutely feel, but their devotion to their job is greater.

Notes:

If you can't be normal about Jewish people without scanning their entire internet presence to see if they're an ~Evil Zionist~, I can promise you, this isn't the blog for you. I also encourage you to research more about Jewish history, the history of Zionism, and the weaponization of Jewish terms and concepts by antisemites.

This is my blog to be open about my Jewish journey, and explore conversations + connections with other Jewish bloggers. I block people without apology if they make me feel unsafe or unhappy during my time here.

Other intersections of my life might come up, especially in relationship to Judaism. Examples include my experiences as a trans and disabled person.

Might add more as I make more posts lmfao

I was just thinking about the term "two Jews three opinions" (as I frequently do, I love that phrase).

There is frequent division and debate within our community. We are by no means homogeneous in our views, but we still hurt and cry and care for each other.

And that's just so beautiful and amazing.

Our views expand far beyond the binary of black and white, unlike the frosting on a halfmoon cookie!

So enjoy this little doodle appreciating our diversity of views, hopefully it brings a little joy into your day.
