“I don’t hate Jews, I just hate Israelis!” I don’t know how to tell you this. But hating someone because of their nationality or national origin is still a textbook form of bigotry…

reminder that disinformation is bad even when it furthers your narrative. if an organization is bad, you don't have to make up lies about it being bad. it's already bad literally just utilize the facts that are available to you

Picked up my Hebrew lessons after a week off, and I’m so delighted by how much I still retained and was able to build upon!

Also, as somebody who has used Duolingo for Hebrew with minimal progress outside of learning the individual letters, I’ve been BEYOND amazed by how much I’ve learned after switching to Drops!

shabbat is for nervous system recovery it doesn’t matter if you’re not religious it still has so much meaning and importance!!! why do secular people not understand this!!! reducing it to ‘silly’ or ‘pedantic’ rules about not driving or shopping or using electricity is so patronising and ignorant. I don’t want to drive 3 hours on shabbat for a hike because it’s exhausting and this is a day about recovering from exhaustion. I don’t want to go shopping because the lights are bright and the crowds are noisy. I don’t want to cook or do laundry because it’s loud and/or messy and because this is one time in my week I allow myself to just Not Do Things!!!

I am literally sitting here on my phone. I was reading from my kindle earlier and I’m about to drive to a little hike about 25 minutes away. maybe my shabbat would be even more relaxing if I followed jewish law more closely, I don’t know. but this is something that works for me and so I’m strict about keeping it because it adds something positive to my life, not simply because it’s a religious law. why is it so hard for secular people, jewish or not, to consider judaism with even just the tiniest bit of nuance

here is a pup in a kippah for your happiness 💙

cursive hebrew is cool until you get to the unknown pokemon looking ass letters. you know the ones.

Hi I am not a Jew and was wondering why you censor the word G-d like this? Additionally do you do this when speaking also and how does that work then? And if you do censor when speaking then what do you say instead of 'oh my god' or other such exclamations?

(I swear I read about this on another post but I forgot 😅)

Hope you don't mind such a stupid question lol. Please take care, may the hostages return safely soon 🎗🎗🎗

hi! idk the specifications for it but i know that we’re not supposed to write out the name of gd (any of them, and especially tetragrammaton) and some jews, like myself, take it to the level of omitting the ‘o’ to maintain the respect of not writing gds name. like most things with jews, this isn’t true for everyone and there a great many jews who write gd with the ‘o’

personally i’m too lazy for the dash so i write gd and assume people will get it through context. i only started doing this a few years ago and i found it made me more aware of how i relate to gd in the religious sense despite my not being particularly observant.

if anyones got better explanations or wants to share why they spell gd the way they do please do so! i love opinions! the more the merrier!
