having poor circulation is great because people will touch your hand and go 'oh! you're so cold!' and for a moment you get to experience what it's like to be a vampire in a romance novel
Please try to find happiness.
I've seen so many of my jewish friends and people I look up to falling into despair, and I completely understand why. I feel that pull, too. But we must hold onto life. We must live, too.
I think what helps me in not feeling guilt over this is to know that judaism demands you live, as well, knowing that I will be useless as a community member if I myself am despondent and apathetic to life itself. I know this may not help everyone, but please remember, we must live. You deserve it.
Do good in their name.
It's okay to form an opinion based on the information you have, but that also means you can't just ignore or dismiss any new information that contradicts that opinion or one that gives it a broader context. Also if you realize the information you based your opinion on is false, like you can't just stick your fingers in your ears and blind yourself to the reality that you've been played.
I love that despite the saying "two Jews three opinions" the audacity of a teacup mikvah still brings us together

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
I was just thinking about the term "two Jews three opinions" (as I frequently do, I love that phrase).
There is frequent division and debate within our community. We are by no means homogeneous in our views, but we still hurt and cry and care for each other.
And that's just so beautiful and amazing.
Our views expand far beyond the binary of black and white, unlike the frosting on a halfmoon cookie!
So enjoy this little doodle appreciating our diversity of views, hopefully it brings a little joy into your day.
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!
