europeans think 100 km is a long distance.
americans think 100 years is a long time.
and jews laugh at both of them.

The Counting of the Omer is a time for spiritual introspection and growth. During a time when many of us are feeling deflated and anxious about the state of the world, this ritual can help us to recharge our Neshamah, our soul.
Ritualwell is here for you! Through the 7-week period of the Omer, we’ll provide you with support, accountability, community and creative inspiration to do this spiritual work.
Every week, we will send you an Omer guide for the upcoming week, aligned with that week’s spiritual theme. This guide will include Jewish wisdom texts, readings, sensory explorations, and creativity prompts for the week. The printable PDF will be sent electronically and can be accessed online. When you sign up for Counting the Omer: A Neshamah Recharge, you are also invited to join us for three special community events throughout the Omer periodom Ritual Well:

"Everyone knew Beyle…
People felt weird around her, as though they were neither male nor female…
She was recommended to see a noted professor and under his supervision, Beyle became a man…
And they were no longer Beyle, but Berl"
Trans people have always been here, even in the shtetl
I imagine that others here have noticed the quiet deletion of Jewish holidays from Apple Calendar, right? I noticed a couple of weeks ago, after Purim, that Passover had disappeared. So I checked the old reliable Hanukkah. It is also gone. #mazeldon
Please please please visit South Jersey. How fun would it be to take my 88yo mom there for a nice #Jewish lunch on wheels. #Mazeldon

No matter how you spell the bread of affliction, Passover is coming!
Matzoh is the unleavened bread that Jews eat during Passover. We eat matzoh and matza and matzo and matzah to remind us that our ancestors who were slaves in Egypt were freed and had no time for the bread to rise when they left. This funny Jewish Passover design makes a perfect gift!

I'm writing an article on pseudohistory & #antisemitism. Sometimes the interwebs just give you a gift.
Release of the #JFK assassination dox has of course produced a cloacal flood of batshit craziness
So of course we find #Israel, #Mossad, #CIA
but also: KHAZARS!
Who all is up late to see the #eclipse? I decided that, given our lunar calendar, that staying up late to see a lunar eclipse is a very Jewish thing to do.
But that raises the question --- what is the #Bracha (blessing) for seeing an eclipse?
And at what point in the eclipse should one recite the blessing?
And as always I must ask --- is there a non-theistic version of said bracha?
“Even if your sole concern is fighting antisemitism and you do not care what happens to people of any other ethnicity, you pave the way for antisemites to gain power by standing aside as Palestinians are kidnapped. Like Palestinians, Jewish people are on the hit list of potential scapegoats, and what befalls one scapegoat will eventually befall another.”

From Savor:
With Purim this week, this month's cooking video comes from Savor co-director Sarah Aroeste as she shows us how to make Dedos de Aman, a sweet treat for the holiday. Phyllo dough is rolled with nuts and cinnamon into long cylinders to look like Haman's fingers!
To go along with the recipe is a Ladino song called Si veriash a la rana- a song about sisters rolling out phyllo dough and frying up a sweet desert together.
The full recipe, song and lyrics can be accessed from the Savor website here - find them by scrolling down to the very last items on the Savor menu!

To spread even more Sephardic Purim fun, we hope you enjoy this bonus video, El Dia de Purim, with a holiday song written by Sarah Aroeste!

Well isn’t this fucking perfect:
“State Department plan to deport ‘pro-Hamas’ students relies on a 1952 law that targeted Jews”

#AntizionismIsNotAntisemitism but McCarthyism sure as fuck was and maybe just maybe Jews shouldn’t be in the business of promoting and/or applauding the revival of its methods for use against Palestinians and their allies?
