Chag Pesach Sameach! 

#so funny story #when i was looking at a calendar to figure out when Passover is this year #the website told me that the torah specifically forbids work on the '2 first and 2 last nights of passover' #and my sleep deprived brain interpreted that as 'second first' and 'second last' #rather than the first two and last two nights

people being so shocked that there's biblical fanfiction on ao3 as if that hasn't been one of the most common fiction genres for the last 2000+ years

#yes yes i know the torah predates jesus by quite a bit #but his particular fandom has been very enthusiastic about spreading their stories

[klinejack]

Serpent: The apple will give you free will.

Eve: Ok. *Chooses to eat the apple using the free will she clearly already has.*

God: Oh shit, she has free will

Tav - It is finished

The Hebrew letter Tav, the final character in the Aleph-Bet, is considered by many as the symbolic signature of God, underscoring His divine work of creation. The Tav, often associated with truth and perfection, captures the essence of completion, like a seal marking the end of a narrative. It's an emblematic testament of God's omnipotence and omnipresence, a sacred imprint that defines the universe's boundaries, like an artist signing their masterpiece. This profound letter encapsulates the divine cycle of creation, from inception to culmination, echoing the timeless truth of God's pervasive influence in every grain of existence. Just as an author signs their work, the Tav serves as God's spiritual autograph, a sublime reminder of His ever-present hand in the fabric of creation.

Things the 10 Plagues of Egypt taught me about God:

God doesn't care if he hurts (or kills) innocent people (kids included)

God doesn't care if he hurts/kills innocent animals

God could have freed the Hebrews at any time before Moses was even born but chose to let them suffer (including letting babies suffer being eaten alive by crocs)

Thank goodness we know for sure the Exodus never happened!

💖 Master the Future of Love in Hebrew! 💖

You know the language of love is universal, but there's something truly special about expressing it in Hebrew.

Today, I'm bringing you something that’s close to my heart - conjugating the verb "to love" in future tense. 💕

Why future tense, you ask? Because love isn’t just about the here and now; it’s a promise, a commitment to a future together. Imagine telling your loved one not just that you love them now, but that you WILL love them, in all the tomorrows to come. Is there anything more beautiful and reassuring than that? 🥰

Learning how to express this in Hebrew brings a certain depth and richness to your relationships. It's not just about the words; it's about the emotion and intention behind them. 🌹

So let's see the breakdown of this heartwarming verb in future tense. Trust me, this is not just a grammar lesson; this is a lesson in love. 💌

Shall we dive into the poetic and romantic side of Hebrew? 💙🤍

Goin down a rabbit hole of the NAME LUZ IN THE BIBLE FOR NO REASON

#okay so like basically there's the story of Jacob's ladder #and for people not running a half science camp half vbs the story is that jacob falls asleep #and has this dream of God in heaven telling him how he's going to have many descendents they'll go all over the world typical blessing #but anyway while this is all happening jacob can see a LADDER connecting heaven and earth and angels go across it #this is called jacob's ladder but GET THIS it is near a place called Luz #anyway i doubt this was intentional on the part of the crew but... y'know... portal like creation between realms... luz... brain go BRR #when i tried looking up other stuff I got some interesting sites about Torah interpretations and stuff so. anyway brain go BRRRRR #toh #the owl house #war stories from the sergeant

so i haven't talked about this too much on here, but i've been researching conversion to judaism for a while (since early 2022, mostly constrained to tiktok and other, relatively informal online resources) and while my current living situation isn't really stable enough at the moment for me to get into long-term contact with a synagogue or a rabbi (tldr i'm planning to move overseas at the beginning of next year), i've been wanting to get in touch with some more concrete resources about the conversion process. i've been reading living a jewish life by anita diamant, but if anybody knows of any other books or other resources that might be good supplements to that book, i'd love to hear about them! i know there's a lot of information out there and lots of different paths to take, but i'd love to get other people's takes, if you've got any to offer!

#speak friend and enter #ok to rb btw! #long story short i was raised fundamentalist evangelical in a very high control church #and didn't learn about the bible and the historical context behind the text in the same way a lot of christians did #(read: i've read the whole bible multiple times but was given some kind of atypical translations and interpretations) #but in college i took a world religions class from a professor who is jewish and taught me personally a lot about Jewish interpretation #of the torah - i found these interpretations very freeing and felt they made a lot more sense than what i'd been taught previously #so that kinda led me to where i am today. i follow a lot of other prospective converts on tiktok and their advice is helpful #but im always looking for other stuff too!

i genuinely love when ppl talk abt torah and include midrash as if it's part of the text. like yes so true we do tell this over and over again and get to know it so well that the lines between what's technically canon and what's not blur

#I mentioned tonight to my rebbitzin that i have trouble w the story of esau and jacob and i think it was unfair that jacob esaus starvation #against him. and she was like oh but he was starving bc he'd been out killing ppl. #ok then . new knowledge in my head abt the story :) #txt #saying affirmations to myself in the mirror like #i Can talk abt torah and keep an open mind i Wont stick to my internet brand of eldest sibling apologism when it hinders actual learning #that jacob uses* esaus starvation. is what i meant in that first tag

[andromerot]

grrrrgrggr ok wait as a mythology and folklore enjoyer do u know what i despise. those kind of stories like american gods or or the mcu or even, with love, percy jackson, where every god from every culture is real except for the "abrahamic" God. i am saying this as a cuasi-religious person okay. for these stories they often choose religions that are not very widely followed, they draw from ancient greek or egyptian or norse myth because they feel nobody would be offended. but anthropologists world wide hate you

#grew up hearing torah stories as folktales #i dont know. i believe in god in some ways but i also believe in the power of story. i do not think it demeans my god to call it a myth.

[daimonides]

if you need me i'll be in the corner crying about how the story of reish lakish and rabbi yohanan ends... reish lakish's death and rabbi yohanan walking alone and searching for him at the river where they met... omg

#your strength for torah your beauty for me #rabbi yochanan and reish lakish are my otp #talmud #but gay talmud #iykyk #judaism #frumblr #BAVA METZIA 84b IF YOU WANT TO READ THE STORY #also the ao3 fanfic by hereticfangirl #love the two of them #so tragic though

[thewalrus-said]

Does anyone remember that 1995 2-episode miniseries about the prophet Joseph, starring Paul Mercurio? I used to love it as a kid, and I just remembered that it existed. May have to track it down for a nostalgia watch

#for a nonreligious person i was really into a lot of torah stories as a kid #the prince of egypt obviously #the joseph miniseries #and then i got really into that terrible kings show on nbc for an undeservedly long time #i have a whole au of it in my head still that's miles better than what they actually did #anyway #about me #my childhood

Ayin - The eyes of Gods' providence

The Son who got us out of the pit we were in, got rid of the sins we were doomed to keep repeating. We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God's original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels - everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body. So spacious is he, so roomy, that everything of God finds its proper place in him without crowding. Not only that, but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe - people and things, animals and atoms - get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies, all because of his death, his blood that poured down from the Cross.

You yourselves are a case study of what he does. At one time you all had your backs turned to God, thinking rebellious thoughts of him, giving him trouble every chance you got. But now, by giving himself completely at the Cross, actually dying for you, Christ brought you over to God's side and put your lives together, whole and holy in his presence. You don't walk away from a gift like that! You stay grounded and steady in that bond of trust, constantly tuned in to the Message, careful not to be distracted or diverted. There is no other Message - just this one. Every creature under heaven gets this same Message. I, Paul, am a messenger of this Message

Colossians 1, 14-23
