Went to a really lovely second night seder this evening centered around collective liberation and antizionist action that was clearly very meaningful for everyone involved, but that did get extremely derailed at one point because a poem one of the hosts read lead to us looking up turtle sex noises.

Being online in 2024 is just: *unfollows someone for being antisemitic* *unfollows someone for being antisemitic* *unfollows someone for being antisemitic* *unfollows someone for b-

I shouldn’t have to block leftists for spreading blood libel in the year 5784.

What seems to continuously get lost in the news stories about Israel and Palestine is the innocent civilians who were murdered, raped, tortured, and captured — all for the mortal “sin” of existing.

It’s not resistance to parade the bodies of civilians who were at a fucking FESTIVAL FOR PEACE. To rape and murder the Israeli leftists who were advocating for a peaceful solution to the war. Who were *allies* to Palestine. There’s no nuance in the current discourse about Israel and Palestine. There’s no reasoning with people who scream “GENOCIDE” and argue that Israel is to blame for the actions of a group that regularly puts their own civilians up as human shields.

It’s all antisemitism. It’s virtue signaling, because collectively, white leftists have decided Palestinians are The Most Oppressed and that they are never wrong. Which is infantilizing and insulting, and one might even say… racist… but that doesn’t matter to these leftists, because it makes them feel better about hating Jews. Because they’re hating *zionists*, not Jews. The Good Jews that agree with the destruction of the last safe place for Jews definitely won’t be immediately thrown to the wolves after they outlive their usefulness.

If your Jewish friends invite you to join them for some Chanukah festivities, there's a few basic things you should keep in mind. When I say "basic," I mean really basic. If it's listed here, it unfortunately means I've seen/heard someone do or say it.

Don't make Holocaust jokes.

Don't make thinly veiled antisemitic comments. Antisemitic "jokes" aren't funny.

Dreidel is pretty much a game of chance. Losing isn't the end of the world. Everyone loses dreidel at least once a year (usually more than that).

Staying with friends doesn't mean your friends are supposed to fund your vacation (this honestly goes for staying with anyone, not just your Jewish friends). They're saving you the cost of a hotel already.

If you don't want to participate in a holiday tradition, don't make a big thing out of it. Respectfully decline and move on instead of calling Jewish traditions "weird" or something along those lines.

Have fun! Chanukah is a beautiful holiday with some really cool and beautiful traditions. Enjoy your time with your friends.

I recently saw someone online saying "Jews call themselves the chosen people, which means they think everyone is below them."

I would once again like to clarify that is not the case. There was once a post going around that basically said that "chosen" was less "most special-est bestest ever uwu" and more "chosen to do the dishes."

Jews are the "chosen people" in the same way Smokey the Bear said "Only YOU can prevent forest fires."

not posting about what’s going on in i/p, but I am a Jew from Pittsburgh, and I’m thinking about how in the aftermath of the shooting at Tree of Life—where eleven people I knew personally were murdered by a white supremicist—I saw people on this website asking if anyone knew if the murder victims were zionists because if they were, it was inappropriate to mourn them. as if their lives only mattered if they were Good Jews TM.

the fifth anniversary of the shooting is on Friday, and on top of everything else happening right now, that’s something that is really sticking around my mind.

“There’s a great Yiddish expression that says, “If I knew God, I’d be God.” In fact, I think that claiming that you “know God’s will” is an act of incredible hubris. Instead, what we say about God has much more to say about us than about God. There are, in fact, a whole range of different theologies within Judaism (you can find some of them in the terrific books “Finding God” and “The God Upgrade,” both of which describe a whole range of differing, and sometimes even conflicting, theologies.) And while I can only speak personally here, to me, “God” isn’t really a noun at all—it’s a verb. Here’s why. The most common name that God gives Godself in the Torah is “YHWH,” a name that is sometimes thought to be so holy that no one was allowed to pronounce it. But that’s not exactly right—it’s not that “YHWH” was not allowed to be pronounced, it’s that it is literally unpronounceable, since it consists of four Hebrew vowels (yod, hay, vav and hay). By the way, that’s also why some people incorrectly call this name “Yahweh,” since (as Rabbi Lawrence Kushner once said), if you tried to pronounce a name that was all vowels, you’d risk serious respiratory injury. But even more importantly, the name YHWH is actually a conflation of all the tenses of the Hebrew verb “to be.” God’s name could be seen as “was-is-will be,” so God isn’t something you can’t capture or name—God is only something you can experience. And indeed, when Moses is at the burning bush, having just been told by God that he will be leading the Israelites out of Egypt, he says, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God responds that God’s name is “Ehyeh asher ehyeh,” which is often translated as “I am what I am.” But it could also be translated as, “I am what I will be.” So God is whatever God will be—we simply have no idea. Indeed, for my own theology, I believe that God is found in the “becoming,” transforming “what will be” into “what is.””

— Rabbi Geoffrey A. Mitelman
