Here Are the Jewish People

Western popular concepts of Jews that people here take as the extent of our tribe:

The reality:

Boys from the Jewish population of Yemen, which has been around for 2500 hundred years but has been slowly massacred over the past few generations.

The Lemba of South Africa and Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe in particular has a large and VERY long history with their Jewish Community)

The Abayudaya of Uganda, some of the great Jewish musicians

The Beta Israeli of Ethiopia

Igbo Jews of Nigeria

Cochin Jews of India 

Baghdadi Jews

Kaifeng Jews of China, who go back to the 7th or 8th century. Unfortunately, during the 20th century much of their culture was almost wiped out and the Kaifeng are currently working to rediscover their Jewish heritage and culture.

Jewish Children in Puerto Rico (Jews have been in Puerto Rico since the 15th century, many fleeing from the Inquisition)

The Beit Shalom Choir in Japan

Kosher comes in all colors, from all over the world, and in a variety cultural groups. We’re a small portion of the human population, but we have EVERYONE. We are all members of this tribe.

Because stereotypes are bullshit.

But things work out, you know? Even if it doesn't feel okay for a long time or even if it feels like things will never be okay again. Everything works out in the end.

THIS IS THE ONE THING THAT’S MADE ME LAUGH ALL DAY??

I live in Ohio and you bet your ass I’m sending some emails to these fuckers. Justice for Casey Goodson. Another man whose life was taken from him because of pure hatred. A man whose last moments were in pain. A man who will never get to walk into his house and be greeted by his family ever again. He had his whole life ahead of him. He died for nothing. Please take some time to help by making phone calls and/or sending emails if you can. He and his family deserve justice. I feel so bad for their family. Nothing can replace what they lost.

JUSTICE FOR CASEY GOODSON

On December 4th, 2020, Casey Christian Goodson Jr. (23 years old) was shot three times in the back and murdered by a Sheriff’s Deputy as he was entering his home in Columbus, Ohio. Goodson’s family stated that he was returning home from a dentist appointment, holding a Subway sandwich, his face mask, and his keys, when he was shot.

Two days later, the Columbus Police Department made a statement alleging that James Meade, the deputy responsible for Goodson’s death, saw a man believed to be Goodson with a gun while driving. Meade then approached Goodson after he exited his car and walked home, where he was shot.

Hours after the shooting, the US Marshal for the Southern District of Ohio, Peter Tobin, confirmed that Goodson was not the fugitive they were searching for. However, Tobin also added that he believed that the shooting was justified, claiming that Goodson was shot after he refused to drop his “weapon.”

Yet another Black man murdered by the police.

DEMAND JUSTICE.

Hii I saw your post about the panic attack you had and wanted to offer some help. Next time you feel that sense of everything being too loud, heart beating too fast, etc: excuse yourself to go to the bathroom. (I say the bathroom because if you live with parents and siblings that's usually the only place you can go to be alone, but if you have a room you can go to without being bothered that's good too) Go in and turn the fan if there is one on for white noise, and turn on the dimmest light possible like a candle or no light. Sit down on the floor and focus on breathing. Just observe your breathing at first, then try taking deeper breaths, the deepest you can. Notice any tension in your body- like if you are squeezing your stomach muscles in, and see if you can loosen them and relax the muscles so you can breathe deeper. Let your belly expand as your lungs fill with air. Focus just on breathing right now. If your mind wanders back to your stressors, that's okay! Be loving to yourself and gently, without judgement, guide your thoughts back to your breathing. Put your hands on your stomach and feel the expansion of your diaphragm (muscle that helps your lungs expand and contract). You are enough. You are doing enough. You matter and your happiness matters. It's okay to take time to just breathe. You do not need to feel guilty about taking time for yourself. You deserve to feel well. You deserve love from others and from yourself. Wiggle your toes, then let them relax. Flex and roll your feet, then see if you feel like standing. Go slowly because you might be light headed. If there is something nearby to grab for support, definitely grab it to help slowly pull yourself up. You deserve support. Allow yourself to lean on something for support. When you're standing, take a few more breaths. Take a few steps around the bathroom of there is space. Turn on a light that matches the brightness of the room you will be going back to so you can get used to it. Yawn for a deeper breath. You can return to the room you were in, or if you have time you can go to a quiet room and listen to gentle music or do some yoga. You will probably still feel a little shaky for a while. Be gentle on yourself. If people are being cruel to you that is not something you can control and it is not at all what you deserve, but you can be kind and gentle and loving to yourself. I know this ask was long and kind of goofy but I hope it can help in some way. At the very least know that you are valid and worthy of love and kindness! <3

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate you taking the time to help me! I’ll definitely keep this in mind if it ever happens again. The dim lighting is a good tip, I never considered that could be helpful. I also never considered turning on a fan for white noise but I’ll definitely experiment with those things in the future. And I struggle with feeling like I’m not “worthy” of love and kindness all the time, but this made me feel so much better and I’ll try to remind myself I’m worthy of those things more often! Thank you again for the help, it means a lot to me❤
