i grew up going to synagogue. i had a b’nai mitzvah, i was even confirmed. but i was also brainwashed also into believing israel was good. the atrocities were glossed over almost as if no one lived there at all. as if palestine was simply unoccupied, as if israel was not a state born of colonial settler violence. this propaganda is something that many zionist jewish organizations have utilized to brainwash their congregations. when I was a child I idolized IDF soldiers, I thought Israel was a shining Jewish state not born of violence but of the Jewish will to survive, I was wrong. I was brainwashed. I was not immune to propaganda. but i realized as a teenager that what i was taught is simply not true and other people also have the ability to learn this as well. israel is a colonialist apartheid state. hamas doesn’t represent gaza or palestinians, innocent people are dying on both sides as a result of Israel’s settler violence. hamas would not exist if it were not for Israeli settler violence. Israel has dropped 6000 bombs on Gaza, as much as was dropped on Afghanistan in a single year by the US. The United States is willfully pushing propaganda to support the colonist state of Israel. You are not immune to propaganda. lets dismantle the zionist jewish propaganda machine together. I want to find a jewish community that I don’t feel like I can’t be a part of because I don’t agree with or support zionism and it’s cruel, hypocritical rhetoric. why do we as jews have any more right to colonize, occupy and commit atrocities than the people who have so many times done the same to us, what makes us different that we can enact that on others without consequence? There is a clear power imbalance at play here and the zionist state of israel is not the victim. ignoring a humanitarian crisis doesn’t wipe the blood from your hands. supporting palestine’s freedom is not antisemitic, and israel is using antisemitism as a shield to continue their genocide against the palestinian people

#zionist jewish organizations as well as the us use propaganda to brainwash the jewish community and also the general public. its high time #something changes #and i personally pledge to be a vocal part of that change and have been for quite some time #also. i personally dont feel very connected to the jewish community and religion in general anymore bc of how rampant zionism is #but i really hope that can change as i see more and more of us anti zionist jews coming out of the woodwork

(Ruth 1:16)

I really love weddings and miss them so much. We had a Zoom wedding this year but it wasn't the same and I absolutely did get indirectly called out for wearing pyjamas (I'm not about to put on a Saree just to sit around in my own house, I'd rather be able to have an easier time peeing). This episode was so cute, but at the same time it's when the tears started and then from there don't stop for the remainder of the season. It also does kinda give me the wedding fix I need XD

Masterlist

Warnings:

Antisemitism (obviously), Spoilers for the show

Characters:

Jonah - Dude was voluntold to recite the Birkat Kohanim and honestly??? Mood. When he butchered it and then salvaged it with another prayer in honour of Ruth it went from second hand embarrassment to being really heartwarming. When Ruth appeared and recited it with Jonah, and then kissed him on the cheek? I cried. He’s been through so much, and the wedding finally gave him a sense of community in the Jewish community that Ruth always wanted Jonah to have.

Harriet - Harriet was maybe around 10? During the Holocaust and her father sent her off to be safe. We learn that Rebekah is the name she was given at birth, and as far as we know she doesn’t even know if her Dad is alive or dead. She grew up in a convent since then, and went by the name we know her as. I really love her story arc, and can’t wait to see it unfold in season 2.

Murray - In this episode, we see that both Murray and Mindy are affected by Aaron’s death, but it seems to have affected Murray the most. Especially during the wedding, it is evident that Murray is sad because that wedding was supposed to be Aaron’s rather than Amy’s. The worst pain is the death of your child, because your kids are supposed to outlive you. I can’t imagine what both of them have been going through, but it’s been really hard to watch. My heart shattered when Aaron said he wanted to visit the garden he painted with his parents.

Millie - The last thing Millie wants to do is grasp at straws, and without the evidence that the dude gave her it seems that way. When bringing it to Grimsby, you see that he gets a little ~over~ defensive over it which is a little sus. The Reich mentioned they have people in the FBI, and it becomes more clear that it’s Grimsby as time goes on. Especially benching Millie, because she’s too smart for her own good. As well, I feel so bad for Millie because she didn’t want to break up with Maria, but for the sake of the nurse’s safety she had to.

Tobias - Portrayed by Jonno Davies.

Tobias is annoying, but not nearly as creepy as Travis. He’s ruled by emotion and lets his anger feed his hatred. He’s very impulsive and would rather get the job done right away. In this episode in particular, you see that he'd rather risk getting shot by armed guards just to kill Meyer, when that isn’t a smart move. His emotions get in the way of figuring out when it’s not the right time to act.

Travis - Travis is very opposite of Tobias. He’s creepy, unsettling, and very motivated. He’s ruled by logic, and lets his hatred simmer as he gets the job done. As well, he’s not completely sane which adds to his muder streak. Travis is a very talented liar, blaming the death of Tobias’s brothers on Meyer. When they’re outside the synagogue, Travis knows that it’s not the right time to do anything. He’s perceptive and studies his surroundings well, able to a feel of whether or not he has to retreat. As much as I hate him, I have to admit that he’s a well-written and well-acted character. Travis knows how to survive, and he knows how to win. I hope the Hunt figures out his patterns and finds his weakness, so that when he inevitably is released from prison they can take him down.

What I liked:

Jonah being voluntold to do the Prayer. That was very funny and very Jewish.

Cheeks and Jonah’s final interaction for the remainder of the season. It was very heartwarming, and I loved that Jonah told Cheeks that he loves him. I don’t hear a lot of guys who are smothered in ~toxic masculinity~ say that to their friends so it was just nice to see.

The fact that Cheeks is going to a Liberal Arts college. Most people I know that go to one were a theatre kid in high school. Thinking about it, it makes sense that Cheeks would be a theatre kid so now that’s forever a headcanon.

Seeing a side of Joe we don’t really get to see when he was visiting Eric. In that scene, you can tell they were best friends when they were in the Army together. Eric being the only one that was kind to Joe? And Joe mentioning that with a look of gratitude on his face? It hurt, but at the same time was heartwarming. I hope we see more of that in season 2 (when the save him of course)

They pretty much confirmed that Biff listens to Bubblegum Pop and that is So Funny

The transition between Harriet and her flashbacks were really satisfying and smooth

What I didn’t like:

Tobias. Need I say more?

Explaining things as best as I can:

Birkat Kohanim - known in rabbinic literature as raising of the hands. A hebrew prayer recited by the Hebrew Priests descended from Aaron.

Horah - a Jewish circle dance, typically to Hava Nagila. During Jewish weddings, the bride and groom are lifted up in chairs in the middle of the circle. This also happens during a B’Nai Mitzvah party to whoever’s B’Nai Mitzvah it was. During my Bat Mitzvah they forgot to set a chair nearby so they didn’t lift me up and I’m still salty about it.

Isn’t it sad that goyim don’t have B’nai Mitzvahs? They only have Sweet Sixteens, which is only for girls. Non Jewish boys are being deprived of such a wonderful life experience. Maybe Christians should have something like a Christian B’nai Mitzvah. Oh wait, you already have something called a Confirmation. Why won’t you make that as big as us Jews make our B’nai Mitzvahs so your child doesn’t feel left out?

Dear Tumblr,

There are three main things I would like to address.

1.) My typing suggestions are getting weirder and weirder.

Letters tuned into Lesbians

Forgot turned into F*gg*t

Ezra turned into Exon

2.) I have the weirdest chorus class ever. You can fight me in this. We tried to learn the song Budapest today. Half the class thought Budapest was a subregion under Buddhism. Then someone said “It’s the capital of Hungary.” Another kid said “Oh! Isn’t that in China?” The third kid said, completely believing it “No, it’s in South Africa!”. We then talked about what it might mean. Some ideas were:

Marriage

Walt Disney

Homophobia

James Bond

Death

3.) COVID-19 is being blown up by the media! 3 kids and counting have canceled their B’nai Mitzvahs due to it. My school just sent out an email saying “If school were to close for any reason, would you have access to a computer during school hours?” Like what the f*ck! The closest confirmed case to us is nearly 30 miles away!

Medal honors Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise

The Jewish-American Hall of Fame series of medals was launched 50 years ago under the direction of Mel Wacks, who continues to guide what is now the longest continuing series of art medals in the United States and perhaps the world. These medals were created by renowned medalists, such as Eugene Daub, designer of a dozen issues including the latest honoring Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise (1819-1900).

The 2-inch diameter Isaac Mayer Wise art medals are limited to no more than 150 bronze, 75 pure silver (3 oz.) and 35 gold-plated pure silver (3 oz.) medals and offered for contributions of $50, $200, and $250 respectively, to the non-profit Jewish-American Hall of Fame. To order, call 818-225-1348 or send payment to JAHF, c/o Mel Wacks, 5189 Jeffdale Ave., Woodland Hills, CA 91364. Mention that you read about it in Numismatic News and you can take a 20% discount. Each medal is numbered on the edge and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

The high relief portrait of Wise was based on a plaque made by Boris Schatz; the Torah Breastplate depicted on the reverse was crafted by Andrew Messmer and presented to Rabbi Wise on his 80th birthday. The plaque and breastplate are both in the collection of the Skirball Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Highland Mint struck the medals.

Isaac Mayer Weiss was born on March 29, 1819, the oldest son of Regina and Leo Weiss, in Steingrub, Bohemia (currently a part of the Czech Republic). He was a brilliant student, and at the age of nine, his father, a teacher, had taught him all he knew about the Bible and the Talmud. He then went to study with his grandfather, a physician, who died three years later. Weiss continued his studies in the Talmud and the Bible at various schools. He completed his formal education by attending the University of Prague and the University of Vienna for three years.

At the age of 23, in 1842, he appeared before a Beth Din – or a rabbinical court – of three well-known rabbis: Solomon Judah Rappaport, Samuel Freund, and Ephraim Loeb Teweles, who together conferred on him the title of rabbi. Two years later, he married Therese Bloch, who gave birth to ten children by him.

Weiss found that being a rabbi in Bohemia brought him problems with the government, because of the restrictions still in force against the Jews. He decided to come to America because of its religious freedom, arriving in New York on July 23, 1846 (and changed the spelling of his name to Wise).

Wise became the rabbi of Congregation Beth El in Albany, N.Y. He was there four years, initiating new reforms in the religious services. He introduced choral singing, confirmation to replace Bar Mitzvah, and the seating of men and women together in pews for services.

His changes resulted in much disapproval. In 1850, on the morning of the beginning of Rosh Hashanah that evening, Wise was dismissed at a rump meeting of the board of directors. The next day, havoc broke loose between his followers and those who opposed him. Soon after, a group broke away from Beth El and, with Rabbi Wise, established a new Reform synagogue called Anshe Emet – “Men of Truth.”

In 1854, Wise went to Cincinnati to become rabbi of Beth K.K. B’nai Yeshurun, a Reform congregation. (Since 1931, the temple has been known as the Isaac M. Wise Temple.) He stayed there the rest of his life. It was from there that he tried creating a national organization of congregations. He found this a difficult task, as the Orthodox rabbis were at odds with the Reform movement. Nevertheless, despite his setbacks, Wise continued to advocate a union of congregations, a common prayer book, and a college to educate and train American rabbis.

Parts of his dreams came true when, in 1873, delegates from 34 Reform congregations met in Cincinnati and organized the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. Two years later, in July 1875, the Union established the Hebrew Union College, the first Jewish seminary in the United States. Wise became its president and teacher.

Wise was also an organizer and mover in the establishment of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, in 1889. Elected its president, he served until he died. This conference adopted the Union Prayer Book that would be used by all Reform congregations. Wise died on March 26, 1900.

All 50 medals from the collection of “The 50 Years of the Jewish-American Hall of Fame” will be on display from March 21 through June 2 at the Skirball Museum.
