Any other Jews think this ad is like pretty offensive? Like, that is the holiest name of god. If that particular Hebrew name of god is written in a book, that book has to be buried in a special cemetery. We don't even say it out loud. So maybe don't put it on a t-shirt?
Do you really wanna risk spilling turmeric latte on the name of God? Is it really OK to throw the tetragrammaton into the wash with your dirty undies?
Yeah, I'm not OK with this.

jewish culture is your native language being english but living in israel and always speaking half english and half hebrew and saying random hebrew words with an american accent (especially on holidays or in classes that are more religious) and everyone is just looking at me like “why aren’t you saying it normally?” BECAUSE IT’S JUST NATURAL I CANT I LITERALLY CANT SAY IT ANYWAY ELSE
(sorry if it sounds aggressive i just needed to get it out there. i know there are probably some other people who understand this struggle. please tell me they exist. please.)

We say “gud yontif” in preparation for tomorrow /and my cousin wonders aloud “what language is that?” Because we obtain things from the shtetl without knowing it sometimes.
I say “Yiddish, no?” And my stepdad agrees.
“The yiddishkeit say it” my mom says and I look at her with a raised eyebrow
“Aren’t WE yiddishkeit??”
My mom turns to me, looks me straight in the eye, and says “I’m Israeli. I say yoM toV”
And I laughed, finding it funny in an endearing way.
But. Yeah. I know what she means, when she says yiddishkeit in her context. But I also know that we are yiddishkeit no matter what. We use Yiddish words daily. The way we observe our culture is very ashkenazi. Because we are ashkenazi.
Yet Yiddish hasn’t been the mother tongue of my family for three generations now. Not because of the (((evil Zionists)))) but because of the Holocaust. My great grandparents were the last Yiddish speakers in our family, and the last ones to grow up, surrounded by their large extended family in the shtetl. Then, their world was destroyed, and now our language survives in my grandparent’s memories of their parents speaking, and singing, and playing music in Yiddish, and through sprinkles in our conversations had in English.
There was no one to teach me Yiddish but reconnecting has been very powerful for me and my family. I play a “new” Yiddish song I learned on my guitar for my grandparents - only to learn they already know it from their childhood.
I hope to take a class next year as well.
I am definitely yiddishkeit.
Gut Yontif AND good Yom Tov to all.

I'd like to introduce you to LJS 57, a compendium of Astronomical text in Hebrew, written in Spain around 1391. It's an interesting combination of astronomy and astrology, and illustrates how the division between "science" and "not science" was not nearly so clear in the past as it is today. It has some fantastic illustrations of constellations!

Alright I'll bite. I live in Israel, yes. I served in the army, yeah. Does Israel mistreat Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank? Absolutely. My friends who are still enlisted tell me about the shit show that goes in there every day. I get it, there are a million reasons to hate the government and the IDF and whoever else you point fingers to. No side is innocent.
But assholes on motorcycles and in pickup trucks broke through the fence, entered civilian towns and military outposts alike, and just started MASACARING EVERYONE. THIS SHIT IS UNPRECEDENTED. And some MIGHT tiptoe around the point, and say that taking over outposts is fair because it's an occupation force and colonialism and what have you, but for fucks sake
They entered civilian homes. They shot everyone who moved. In locked houses, they set the home on fire and shot the families as they fled. I heard the phone calls - people screaming and begging for their lives as terrorists are walking around their home, stealing possessions, massacring everyone.
They didn't just murder colonialists, militants, occupying forces. They murdered kids who should've gone to school today. Parents working local agriculture, teachers, normal guys with an office job. They murdered dozens of elderly people who couldn't run away.
Not only murdered. Kidnapped. Living and dead, put on pickup trucks and herded back to Gaza. Stripped naked, desecrated and paraded around Gaza. I dare you to tell me the party goers, who were at a rave near one of the Kibbutzim near the fence, deserved to be shot at as they ran to safety. Hundreds of people missing. My Instagram stories filled with their faces, and a phone number attached - "help us find our loved ones. Contact lost. If anyone knows anything-" and at this point I skip them because there's nothing I can do.
My friends are enlisted down there. We're just a bunch of 20 year olds. My best friend is defending one of the villages who were infiltrated, she's trading shots with gunmen who already murdered half the place, she's messaging me once in a while to let me know she's alive. She should've been home for the weekend, we were supposed to watch Chicago now that it's on Netflix. Now neither of us sleeps, she's putting her life on the line and I'm wide awake terrified of the moment they call me and tell me she's gone.
This is mostly a rant. If you read all of it, thanks. I live up north, no need to worry for my safety for now. I don't have a good ending for this. Just, stay safe, I guess.
