The revolution is not an apple that falls to the ground when it is ripe. We have to make it fall.

Jewish tumblr can I have some advice?

So I’m somewhere Jewish - it’s complicated - but I’ve been trying to learn more about the culture and religious aspects of being Jewish to connect with my heritage. I recently found a synagogue near my house and I’ve been thinking about attending a service. Should I go to one? If so, should I wait until after the high holidays to do so?

Advice very appreciated!!

This Elul, I have had some struggles. Not as major as some in the past, but in particular I have been dealing with more than a little antisemitism at work. It's been hard to prepare myself for forgiveness, forgiveness for others and forgiveness for myself.

But in the last couple days, the final days of 5783, I've had some exchanges that have reaffirmed in me a sense of community and good will.

First, a comrade in my union meeting, while discussing plans for an upcoming strike, said almost verbatim:

'If I am not for myself, then who is for me; and if I am for myself alone, then what am I; and if not now then when?'

I laughed aloud at the wisdom of our ancestors and almost exclaimed 'Rabbi Hillel!' - in a union meeting of 30+ goyim. And this comrade, ready to walk out and picket at the very end of our strike mandate, is also a goy. A learned goy, yes, but even so, could she have known what she was saying? The solidarity manifest to me then is hard to describe.

Then I asked a Hindu colleague if she celebrated Christmas, as part of the antisemitism I've encountered at work of late has related to insistant and I think assimilationist plans for an office Christmas party which would prevent me lighting the menorah for Chanukkah. The week of Rosh Hashanah seems an odd time to plan Christmas, but eh. I thought the Christian hegemony may have impacted my Hindu colleague as well. She responded:

'I put up lights, but it's not a big deal. What's really important is Diwali! It's a great time for family, a festival of lights.'

I smiled and told her, 'yeah, we got one of those too'. Even as a lonely Jew in my workplace, I am not alone.

Then, on my way home, some random teenagers smiled and shouted at me in the park, asking excitedly if I'm Kurdish. I realised they noticed my keffiyeh, and told them it's Palestinian, which excited them more as they shouted over one another in Arabic, asking if I was Palestinian then. I told them I'm Jewish, but that's kind of the point. I joked they could call me keffiyeh kinderlach, and told them it's funny they thought I was Kurdish, as I had just been speaking about Öcalan earlier. Just hearing someone twice their age and white speak the name Öcalan filled them with joy, and we exchanged shouts of 'Free Öcalan!' back and forth as I left to catch my train home. 'The revolution has always been in the hands of the young'.

But then, perhaps most importantly, I was telling comrade @derdra recently that I am rather isolated as a Jew where I am, as the only temples in my vacinity are currently occupied by a music school and a rail station outbuilding. Days later, unprompted, she shared with me a post she made that reminds me of a lot of important truths. Many of these truths I think are particularly important to keep in mind during Teshuvah, but I'll let them speak for themselves. The message I want to leave here is twofold: you're never alone when you say you're a Jew - though we're miles apart; and always remember, our holiest mitzvah is to heal, ourselves, our community, and our world.

So have a sweet new year, comrades, and together we can make a sweeter world.
