Shabbat shalom from our Sylvanian Family

Yes, today is Simchat Torah Outside Israel, today is Simchat Torah, the end and beginning of the Torah reading cycle! Please note the timing and observances of these holidays may vary by congregation. Shabbat begins at sundown.
humansofjudaism via instagram: This Torah was completed and dedicated on the one-year anniversary of October 7th, which last year coincided with the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, a celebration of both the completion and renewal of the Torah cycle.
The Torah cover is uniquely stitched with the names of all those lost over the past year, forming the outline of the State of Israel. The inner wrapping bears the names of the remaining 101 hostages.
Traditionally, the holiday is celebrated by taking our Torahs out from their ark for all to dance and rejoice.
As we prepare to observe this holiday once again, we reflect on the events of that day a year ago, pray for the immediate return of the hostages, and remind ourselves that we will dance again. Chag Sameach and Am Yisrael Chai - The Nation of Israel Lives!
You can't be antizionist and pro-indigenous. You have to pick one.
Or are you only pro-indigenous when it isn't The Jews™️?

Yes, today is the seventh day of Sukkot, Hoshana Raba! Hoshana Raba is the day on which it is said that the divine judgement which was “sealed” on Yom Kippur is delivered. Outside of Israel, Shemini Atzeret begins at sundown. In Israel, Simchat Torah begins at sundown. Please note timing and observances of these holidays may vary by congregation.

My friend has a Janakh.
my boss comes up to me and goes “do you want a passover candle holder” and i was like “do you mean shabbat candle sticks?” he said “no for passover. here” and he pulls a menorah
Fighting a new chronic condition during the entire high holiday season has got me feeling real down. I keep having dreams about dwelling in a sukkah because I haven’t felt well enough to do so irl. I’m praying for enough wellness and energy to enjoy Simchat Torah in person, rather than on my synagogue’s livestream.
I know logically that there’s no shame in taking care of my body. But it’s so hard to feel fulfilled this time of year when I’m stuck on my sofa.
Words cannot express how much I hate the people that run JVP.
There is no universe in which calling to “reject the ADL” is anything other than horrifically antisemitic.
When people ask me why I’m converting to Judaism, a year into the entire process of it all, I just mumble “I dunno, just feels like I’ve always been here, been home.”
Then I pause and consider for a minute-
“But mostly because of the challah.”
do you ever just sit in the Sukkah and stare at the stars and think “Wow, this is what my ancestors did?” do you ever say a prayer and think about the generations before who said the same words that have just left your lips? do you ever shake the Lulav and Etrog and think about how even when the Etrog dries up and the leaves on the Lulav fall off of their stem, there will be new ones year after year after year?
because I just did. our religion is ancient and our religion is not going away. goyim will not erase us and antisemites will not disgrace us.
we are here. we will always be here.
So, as a Jewish Club board member at my college , I was tasked with making a sukkot meal flyer but the details kept on changing.
At first we were getting bagels catered, then it was pizza, and now it’s completely unknown. Then the dates kept changing - from the 19th to the 20th to the 18th ETC .
So this is what I have so far.
I really don’t know how we made it out of the desert.
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.
The word "diaspora" was originally coined for the Jewish Diaspora. It has other meanings only by extension.
I don't know how to explain the feeling of hearing the shofar, something my ancestors heard millenia ago and a tradition which has persevered despite uncountable attempts to end us. I hear the sound in my bones. This is our tradition and we will never let it go
Being awake during the middle of the night is a great excuse to practice my Hebrew, right?
Anyways, guess what I’m doing at 4am
please enjoy Poki as he found the meat I'm defrosting
I’m logging off all socials for tomorrow, so I just want to say to my fellow Jews:
I hope you are safe. I hope you are hugged. I hope nothing bad reaches you.
Please take care of yourselves. Not only in physical safety, but mentally too. If social media becomes too much, allow yourself to log off. Try to do something you like - I know it may come with a sense of guilt but I’ve found it helps while grieving.
Feel all you need to feel. Cry all you need to cry - and if that means not crying at all, that’s ok, too.
No October 7th will ever be the same for any of us. This is the first anniversary, hopefully the next one will be a little more bearable. עם ישראל חי
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
