A Few Days Ago A Coworker Asked Me To Explain Hanukkah And I Asked Her If She Knew What A Menorah Was.

5 August 2024 - 1 Av 5784

Today is Rosh Chodesh Av- the first of the month of Av!

Today begins the Nine Days of Av, a period of mourning, repentance, and reflection which culminates in Tisha B’Av, commemorating the destruction of the first and second temples.

Observances vary but may involve refraining from activities such as shopping or getting a haircut.

Holidays to anticipate in Av:

Major Holidays:  Tishah B'Av on 9 Av (August 12-13)

Minor Holidays: The Nine Days from 1-9 Av (August 5-12)  Tu B'Av on 15 Av (August 18-19)

Special Shabbatot:  Chazon on 6 Av (August 9-10)  Nachamu on 13 Av (August 16-17)

Shana Tovah to all my Jewish and Jewish-adjacent folks out there!

May this year be better than the last.

The days leading into the HHDs are the worst for me. It's always the time of year I never feel "Jewish Enough." I have been wrestling with this thought all day and thought I might come here and remind you, kind reader:

You are Jewish Enough just as you are.

No, today is not a Jewish holiday. Shabbat begins at sundown.

Friendly reminder for any Jewish folks to request off for the holidays. We are a little less than 2 months out now!

Here's 2024's dates in case you need them!

Erev Rosh Hashanah starts on October 2nd (Wednesday) running through October 4th (Friday)

Erev Yom Kippur starts October 11th (Friday)

Simchat Torah is October 24th into October 25th (Thursday into Friday)

*Sukkot starts October 16th (Wednesday) but most people don't take off for it to my knowledge

When people ask me why I’m converting to Judaism, a year into the entire process of it all, I just mumble “I dunno, just feels like I’ve always been here, been home.”

Then I pause and consider for a minute-

“But mostly because of the challah.”

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

Vampires when they sip on your blood and catch extra strength Tylenol, at least two psychiatric meds, two cups of coffee, weed, and microplastics 

You can't be antizionist and pro-indigenous. You have to pick one.

Or are you only pro-indigenous when it isn't The Jews™️?
