The lightest (i.e., least massive) known star, OTS 44 [3000 x 2400] :: [just--space]

* * * *

There are stars who's light only reaches the Earth long after they have fallen apart. There are people who's remembrance gives light in this world, long after they have passed away. This light shines in our darkest nights on the road we must follow.

The Talmud..

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly now. Love mercy now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it."

I saw this filth making the rounds recently

It's a defamatory fake Talmud quote, claiming that the Talmud says that Jews can't tell Gentiles what we say about them because it's so horrible that if they knew they would kill all of us. (And it implies that they would be justified to do so.) It cites 'Sanhedrin 59a' as its source.

Sanhedrin 59a is a long argument about multiple view points about whether certain Jewish obligations apply only to Jews or to everyone, how exclusive should access to Jewish legal scholarship be, etc. There are a variety of views expressed, ranging from "gentiles who study Jewish law are stealing our intellectual property" to "gentiles who study Jewish law are as special and cool as high priests." They argue about how much of the rules about food should gentiles have to follow (they agree it's pretty bad for anyone to drink blood, for example, gentile or Jew) and they talk about the implications of laws about wars of conquest. (Unsurprisingly, ancient Jewish law forbids non-Jewish expansionist conquest of Jewish lands, go figure.) In typical Jewish fashion, the argument goes on for a while and strays into many weird edge cases and different opinions. The takeaway, as it's stated in broad strokes, is this:

The Gemara answers: There is nothing that is permitted to a Jew and forbidden to a gentile.

That's the long and short of Sanhedrin 59a. The Jewish laws are an extra set of obligations that Jews willingly accept, rules that govern every aspect of daily life such as which foods to eat and when, the proper sexual and gender relations, liability laws and building codes... It's a lot. And most of it only applies to the community of people who agree to live, more or less, by these rules.

It is absolutely fine and ok for non-Jews to read the basic holy books of our religion. In fact they are all online in both original and translation. I found all this about Sanhedrin 59a by the byzantine and occult process of... Googling "Sanhedrin 59a" and clicking the first link:

The Talmud is a long-standing document of jurispridence with centuries of challenges, edits, and interpretations compiled into one canonical source for settling debates about technicalities. If you ever read anything claiming that "the Talmud says this [incredibly simple and straightforward, black-and-white, good-and-evil judgement]" you can safely bet that it's a gross misinterpretation at best and likely a malicious lie. But if you're still unsure, feel free to find the context and read it yourself.

Gentiles please reblog, share, shout it from rooftops.

An INTRODUCTION

Hello! This is just an intro to anyone who’s curious about this blog:

You can call me Rye, I’m 18 years old and this is my conversion blogggg.

I began my conversion process back in December. I live not in the U.S. so it’s been difficult to find a community to surround myself with. But I will be moving to the U.S. in the summer!

I still have yet to contact a rabbi as I am waiting till I move closer to a Jewish community.

Its been a very interesting few months in this journey but I’m very dedicated and I know I may still have years ahead of me which I’m gladly looking forward to.

Also, I just want to put out that I’m still learning and am just a kid, so if anyone has tips or suggestions on literacy or getting in contact with a synagogue or finding a community, IT WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED.

Also i really love how antisemites are like "the talmud is a secret text the jews hide from us that teaches them how to cheat christians" when the talmud is freely publicly accessible in its entirety and is like "does it count as something going from the private to the public domain if you throw it from your window into somebody else's window and it never touches the ground" and "Rabbi Yochanan said that Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Yosei, had a massive cock. The size of Rabbi Yochanan's cock was smaller than Rabbi Yishmael's, but the exact size is up for debate. Both sides agree that it was pretty huge, too, though."

Antisemites really do just pull Talmud citations out of their asses and hope that gentiles don't know how to look it up. If some Nazi goon on twitter says "Sanhedrin 59a: It is not forbidden to murder a gentile because gentiles are like unto beasts," I can just go on Sefaria and look, and see that the Rabbis discuss nothing even close to that (never mind that any Rabbi who asserted such a thing would get his ass beat by later commentators). Nowhere in this debate is the notion that gentiles are like wild animals, or even whether it's permitted to murder gentiles at all, brought up? This conclusion that the Nazi comes to must be made out of whole cloth, or else repeated from someone else who made it out of whole cloth.
