חג פורים שמח!!
Chag Purim Sameach!
Shoutout to Mordechai and Esther for surviving a genocide attempt and deciding this time of the year belongs to joy. It would have been so easy to respond to that with anger or sadness or fear but instead they went. Oh. It’s springtime. It’s warm and nice and the flowers are blooming and the animals are out. And we are Alive. We should drink and celebrate and be happy. And all our people should drink and celebrate and be happy at this time of year for the rest of time. Real ones for that honestly
Just a reminder that Valentine's Day isn't a secular holiday and that there should never be any expectation to celebrate any non-secular holidays.
Keep non-secular holidays out of popular culture expectations.
(Regardless of how you think about it or celebrate it, Valentine's Day did not have secular origins, making it an inherently non-secular holiday.)
The silly deer girl wouldn’t get out of my head:
Guys what the heck is going on with Tumblr!? Why is everyone obsessed with moles now!?
Thank you to OP I really needed this…
This is a reminder for myself and other observant Jews:
Stop feeling guilty every time you ask for an accommodation at work. They’re literally obligated to give it to you because if they didn’t they’d be denying your freedom of religion. If they’re mad you can’t work on Shabbos, that’s not your problem. Don’t feel ashamed to advocate for yourself. Hashem is the most important ❤️
One of my favorite Purim memories was when I was around 8 or 9 dancing with my family wearing a yellow princess dress. It not as vivid but from it I still feel the innocence and just pure joy I had in that moment.
With all the antisemitic violence we're seeing everywhere, I think we deserve a positivity break.
Since Purim is right around the corner, what's one of your favorite Purim memories? (If you can't pick one you can do multiple.)
I think this might've been two years ago or so but the Chabad I went to back home was hosting a Purim celebration. During this party they decided to have us play trivia and I won! (I get super competitive during trivia events haha.)
So yeah that was really fun!!
Looking forward to seeing your responses, and remember to take care of yourselves!
