אָמַר רַב קַטִּינָא: בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁהָיוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל עוֹלִין לָרֶגֶל, מְגַלְּלִין לָהֶם אֶת הַפָּרוֹכֶת, וּמַרְאִין לָהֶם אֶת הַכְּרוּבִים שֶׁהָיוּ מְעוֹרִים זֶה בָּזֶה, וְאוֹמְרִים לָהֶן: רָאוּ חִבַּתְכֶם לִפְנֵי הַמָּקוֹם כְּחִבַּת זָכָר וּנְקֵבָה.

Continuing the previous discussion, Rav Ketina said: When the Jewish people would ascend for one of the pilgrimage Festivals, the priests would roll up the curtain for them and show them the cherubs, which were clinging to one another, and say to them: See how you are beloved before God, like the love of a male and female. The two cherubs symbolize the Holy One, Blessed be He, and the Jewish people.

Yoma 54a:11

Popular depictions of the Aron HaBrit (Ark of the Covenent) depict the Kruvim as merely facing each-other, but actually.......they were engaged in sexual intercourse. It's unfortunate that Christian sex-negativity has impacted Jewish culture, too, because even I had no idea about this until I read a book about Jewish sex. As a queer trans man, the cisheteronormative nature in which sex is culturally depicted just doesn't sit right with me, so I depicted the Kruvim as a trans man and a trans woman. Queer sex is just as holy as cishet sex, and we are all beloved before Hashem.

friendly reminder that marilyn monroe was a devout jewish woman who wanted a jewish burial but the xtian men in her life didn’t allow that to happen because they wanted to fuck her 💜

#the erasure of marilyn monroe’s judaism is disgusting #but seeing as she’s a sex symbol and western culture refuses to celebrate jewish beauty and sexuality #and instead villanizes it #i’m not surprised

Christian sex negativity whitewashed and de-sexed the Beit HaMikdash so fucking much. Anyway this is why I encourage every Jew to read our texts for themselves, Sefaria is free and you should use it.

people who intentionally bring up complicated and controversial topics, repeatedly interrupt the other person until they provoke a frustrated reaction, and then pat themselves on the back for being edgy and unafraid to discuss serious issues (while insinuating that the other person is closed-minded and/or afraid to have a debate) are so annoying

#this post is dedicated to a girl at a board game meetup group I go to who randomly decided that #‘’Judaism is ONLY a religion and not a culture or ethnicity so there’s no such thing as a Jewish atheist’’ #‘’and anyone who tries to claim otherwise is lying about their identity’’ #was the hill she wanted to die on #(she’s an atheist who was raised Christian and as far as I know has no direct connect to Judaism btw???) #...then again this is also the same person who reacted negatively when she brought up the topic of whether Anne Frank was bisexual #and I was like ‘’uhhh no thanks I’m not comfortable with speculating about the potential sexuality of a murdered teenager I never met’’ #so I’m beginning to think this is like. a thing????? #ma’am pls I just want to play Unmatched and eat pizza 😐
