No, today is not a Jewish holiday. Shabbat begins at sundown.

People hate Jewish resilience. They hate us in general, but they *especially* hate our resilience.

Rosh Hashanah is the start of the Jewish new year. We say l'shana tovah, which means have a good year. Apples and challah (dipped in honey) are symbols of hope for a sweet new year. :)

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

Jewish Holiday Miku - Shavuot 🐮🥛🧀

Idk I just feel like the liberal / leftist stance of “don’t be a dick about people’s disabilities” should extend universally. Like it would be cool if we could extend that to people with lifelong speech impediments. We could even extend it to politicians who have lifelong speech impediments. Or, and hear me out, because this is crazy. We could try not being dicks about the lifelong speech impediment that the President of the United States of America has. That doesn’t seem like too much to ask does it
