Love is love

What the Bible says about homosexuality: (nothing)

What the Qur'an says about homosexuality: (nothing)

The only verses that are twisted to discuss homosexuality are entirely mistranslated and/or misinterpreted by both sets of people who follow them.

Instead, what both scriptures tell us is a story of a Prophet of God, Lut (AS), who told a city to follow the path God has laid out for all of us.

But the city of Sodom not only ignored him, but they decided to present and reinforce their power and status through terror and r-pe, a story that is not at all unbelievable as we watch people go into political power with shocking histories of sexual 'transgressions' alongside a hideous contempt for the very fabric of humanity in many cases.

The moral of the story of Lut (AS) is this:

Extend hospitality, generosity, and protection to others

Don't be greedy, stingy, or thieving

Protect vulnerable people

Do not lust over power

Have mutual respect and love for each other

Condemn fucking r-pe (didn't think we had to write that one down, but here we are)

Don't be a dick.

Follow God

this is based

I made a golem :)

woah!! a silly jewish bug!! that's so cool

thank u! yes!! hello there moka :D

tbh this has been my experience trying to observe shabbat more traditionally so far lmao. we tear so many things!! (toilet paper & packaging are the biggest ones...)

regardless, has been quite fulfilling thus far :D

im not crying you are crying!

The golem is too small - but the children who make him, who hand him to their baby siblings to hold who have shaped him with small hands - they make a friend. From the very first children of exile, little ones yearning for their home - they wished for a friend - these small babies - toddlers with halting steps and little tiny children. And so he is shaped to them - to be held.

From all soils but home, he is reshaped - small hands and prayers and hopes - little wishes along with them - from Shiraz to London to Aksum to those that remain in Yerushaláyim - children add buttons, beads, colours and love - the warmth of small hands no matter what happens.

The Golem wishes he was large, that he could protect them - but he can be with them, all the children who are lost to an endless ancient hate - a hand to hold at the end, perhaps a shield from pain.

He lives in a bright place - filled with paints, with colour and toys and he will protect it always and always - though he is very small, he can protect this place now, this little haven and the little ones who pass through the doors.

Image description: Three versions of the same picture: a digital painting of a cluster of yellow dandelions on a dark earthy background. Handwritten in white above and below the flowers is the same text in Yiddish in the alef-beys, in romanisation, and then in English. The text reads: "מיר וועלן זיי איבערלעבן", "Mir veln zey iberlebn", and "We will outlive them". /end description

Goyim who think that you can tell whether someone is Sephardi/Ashkenazi/Mizrachi/other based on skin tone shut the fuck up about jewish culture and community dynamics challenge
