Mistook gefilte fish for chicken and heated it up for 3 minutes in the microwave. This is reverse aromatherapy.

I’ve seen a lot of posts from fellow Jews about how hard it feels to observe Pesach this year, how it even feels wrong while there are Jews being held in captivity right now.

I would argue that’s the very point of Pesach, and observing it has never been more appropriate than it is now.

The first Seder was not a celebration of a victory already won. The first Seder was held by the Jews while we were still in Egypt, while we were all still enslaved, huddled inside with lambs blood on our doorposts. We were anticipating imminent departure from Egypt, but it hadn’t happened yet and we had no way of knowing if it would.

Pesach is not an after-the-fact celebration of finally being out of danger. The origin of the Seder is a deliberately premature celebration, a demonstration that we have so much faith in G-d saving us that we act as if it’s already happened.

We don’t have the Seder because we are finally free. We have the Seder as a show of faith that we will be, no matter how unlikely it seems.

Update: we had jello.

Chocolate fondue is the perfect Passover dessert actually I don't know why more people don't have it. Matzah cakes are terrible and we've suffered enough this year.

#passover #i unironically love fluorescent green jello so i'm a happy girl #my aunt also hates macaroons but my mom brought because she loves them

Useful idiots in the West: Israel is an apartheid state!

Me, an Israeli Jew, working under an Israeli Arab, joking with her during breaks, sharing snacks during today's long shift: 🤔

#politics #i'd argue that a lot of the current “activists” are doing more harm than good #because they're opposed to understanding and supporting the policies that would improve people's actual lives #palestine is an idea for them not a place with living breathing human beings #and jews are demons to them #someone to hate to give them purpose in life #the true enemy is radicalization more than anything

I still can't get over the fact that my social media safe space...is the Christian Facebook group I'm a part of. There's drama but it goes over my head and no one wants me dead because of my ethnic background unlike a lot of online spaces. The social media algorithms think I'm an evangelical which is...honestly not terrible.

#such is life #with all the vitriol the bible quotes are nice #i'm half a Christian anyways #some people are crazy but its its not my problem

They're edible but mediocre. A placeholder dessert. The Hallmark movie equivalent of after dinner sweets.

Chocolate fondue is the perfect Passover dessert actually I don't know why more people don't have it. Matzah cakes are terrible and we've suffered enough this year.

#passover #they're just...mounds of coconut and condensed milk and maybe chocolate with the density of neutron star which will go on to sit like a lum #in your stomach #I don't mind them but I've never actually looked forward to macaroons #except that one time I made my own with dried fruit mixed with the coconut #it could be I usually get store-bought tho #and heavy lumps after a rich meal #my mom likes them so now we have a huge box
