I don't think people on this website understand what "you should love jewish people more than you hate nazis" means

do you hate nazis because they're fun to hate on and easy to ratio? or because of the material harm they have caused, are causing, and will continue to cause? when you see a nazi, do you see an acceptable target? or do you see an active threat? what do you do to help jewish people outside of these situations? anything at all? do you have positive views on judaism? do you try to better yourself by listening to jewish voices on topics of bigotry?

I'm not going to complain about a nazi getting punched for being a nazi, but the issue isn't as simple as just punching nazis. you need to love jewish people more than you hate nazis if you want to address the root causes of antisemitism

you know how sometimes you go through the roughest moment in your whole entire life and then you look up and it's like. oh. the moon is still there

If you have a problem with Jews using the word "diaspora," you're the one who needs to go and find a new word, because you're using a Jewish one.

Palestinian and Israeli singers raise their voices together in a moving rendition of “Home” by Phillip Phillips. Despite the violence surrounding them, they sing out for peace, justice, inclusion, and equality.

We are the Jerusalem Youth Chorus: Palestinians and Israelis raising our voices to push back against the violence surrounding us—to reject war, occupation, and terror, and instead sing out for peace, justice, inclusion, and equality. We don’t all share the same opinions—and have hard conversations about them every week—but we do share the same future, no matter what the politicians say. In JYC we have a rare chance to truly hear each other, and that’s what makes the chorus a home for all of us. Every kid deserves to grow up with that same safety and dignity. We know we don’t have the power to single-handedly stop war, but we also know that the reason war continues is because people think there is no alternative. We are the alternative.

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.

Jewish culture is Sunday morning challah French toast :)

One thing I’ve realized I love about Judaism is how there is less of a stress on the gender of G-d vs the feeling of G-d. When I think of the divine, I can’t picture a man or a woman but I do know the feeling of wind before a tornado, or seeing a shooting star for the first time, or feeling the first breeze of summer kiss your cheeks or-
