Beetleeetleeetle - Stronger Than A Worm

What are your thoughts on hairy men wearing crop tops? Personally I believe it would fix a lot of problems in society, especially if accompanied by much shorter shorts

my thoughts are that the mashiach will be a hairy man in a crop top and booty shorts.

Well you should’ve named yourself something else then

Woke up wide awake for no reason. Did Hebrew lessons on Drops until my brain could settle again. I love getting to learn and grow even if it’s the middle of the night

Fighting a new chronic condition during the entire high holiday season has got me feeling real down. I keep having dreams about dwelling in a sukkah because I haven’t felt well enough to do so irl. I’m praying for enough wellness and energy to enjoy Simchat Torah in person, rather than on my synagogue’s livestream.

I know logically that there’s no shame in taking care of my body. But it’s so hard to feel fulfilled this time of year when I’m stuck on my sofa.

Every day I think about how I opened up to a friend about a threat that was sent to my synagogue, and her initial response was confusion, followed by a statement that whoever sent the threat should know that “Judaism is not the same as zionism.”

I’ve never felt more scared realizing that people I know and work with could rationalize threats of attacks at local American synagogues if the synagogue was ✨Zionist✨

And I think about it all the time, because that was supposed to be a statement of comfort in her mind. With the implication was that I was a good, non Zionist conversion student and had nothing to worry about.

It’s not that people can be grossly antisemitic. Their intention and values were just aimed at the wrong place?? 🤨🙄

I know this isn’t a new line of thinking. But it was jarring to hear it said to my face.

Shabbat shalom from our Sylvanian Family

The Shabbat set was made out of air dry clay, mostly by my wonderful girlfriend.

When people ask me why I’m converting to Judaism, a year into the entire process of it all, I just mumble “I dunno, just feels like I’ve always been here, been home.”

Then I pause and consider for a minute-

“But mostly because of the challah.”
