Please give me your best ways to tell the church across from my synagogue that no one wants them blasting their sermons outside of their sanctuary (seriously, they have speakers outside screaming about Jaysus) without getting the synagogue embroiled in a religious war

Yes, periods are hilarious! Also hilarious is leaving trails of blood wherever you go, bc supplies are often prohibitively expensive. Oooh, and have you heard the one about TSS? You'll 🧡 this, sometimes women try to keep a tampon in too long, to ration their tampons

I recently sat next to a man who, rightfully, used both middle armrests, but the decided to annex my leg and seat space. I tried to point out he needed to stay within the bounds of his seat, which did not work. Then I used his arm as my armrest, which worked beautifully 😂
@SRevelare
Which religion? Judaism doesn't require faith, it's orthopraxic. Most of us know the Tanakh is filled with allegories and myths and is not a history book. So, you probably aren't talking about Judaism. That leaves every other world religion. If you are going to critique all of

I've been lucky enough to travel and share meals with people of various socioeconomic backgrounds. I have not experienced ANYTHING like what you describe. In my experience, poverty has lead to the most creative, well seasoned, food I've ever eaten. Be adventurous, bud.
Jews watching this debate: Wow, must be nice to not need money to pay for off duty police, a security system, guards, etc.
Many synagogues charge for the high holidays because we need to pay for the above & so many other things Christians don't need to worry about
My church won’t charge you to come to Christmas Eve services and we also won’t guilt trip you about not coming to church the rest of the year. You can just… come to church.
Me (an American Jew): Wait, they still haven't buried Queen Elizabeth II? But she died like 9 days ago. Was it a holiday right after Christian Shabbat or something? What's the hold up?
Yes. Vandalizing a synagogue is a hate crime against Jews. Hate against Jews is antisemitism. Protest outside the Israeli Consulate if you want to protest Israeli politics. Also, don't do hate crimes, just in general. It weakens your case that you are a good person.

Sometimes, women had to resort to shoving other material up their vaginas. Basically, anyone with a womb can Macgyver together and unsafe solution so you don't have to worry about them getting anything for free. It's a laugh riot
This church sucks, btw. They bought the land out from under us, blocking access to the water we used to be able to walk to. They have "you people'd" me, and their youth minister has tried to recruit our religious school students on Sunday.
Messianics are Christians Cosplaying as Jews. They've appropriated our ethnicity & religion (ethnoreligion) for their own aesthetic. They were started by Baptists as a way to lure Jews. If you ARE messianic you are a Christian knowingly engaging in antisémitic behavior.

Christians are human beings capable of great kindness. They are also capable of genocide, pain, torture, and colonization. By calling the Christians who do the bad sh!t "fake" you are washing your hands of the problems killing us. Clean up your house, please
You are wrong. Christ is love. Those who truly follow Him LOVE.
Many have claimed Christ & done evil. They alone own that evil.

Hi, didja know there's nothing wrong w/people living in manufactured homes? Didja know most man. home sellers are predatory, selling the buyer a home, but forcing the owner to rent the land it on? Didja know generalizing about a group of people based on where they live is shirty?
I don't know if I should point out to the school Ramadan has been acknowledged, there was a whole column in the school paper about the Jesus aspect of Easter, they got information about Chanukah wrong last winter, didn't acknowledge Passover, and completely blanked Yom haShoah

I teach Jewish religious school & had to show a movie re a bar mitzvah to kids who were preparing for theirs. A boy surprise kisses a girl in the film, the girl did not like it, & my students, no matter how they identify, were pissed off by the lack of consent. It gave me hope.
In ref to Passover: It actually DOES matter whose holiday it is, quite a bit. Leave it to a Cultural Christian to strip a Jewish holiday of it's Judaism, hand it over to the Christians, and then tell us, "it doesn't matter because the holiday I don't understand is bad anyway."

And the racist intention was also hate towards Arabs and non Jew Semites. The term was made to garner sympathy for only Jews while excluding Arabs. You can be racist while garnering sympathy for your own discrimination.
I am begging people not to make statements about Jews or Judaism when they don't know anything about us or our ethnoreligion. You are allowed to keep scrolling when it's not your lane, I promise
Wah wah, people made fun of Christian cosplayers.
This drives me nuts, these same Christian supremacists will tell American Jews we aren't real Americans because we are Jewish and demand we go "back" to Israel. Then they go to Israel and cry it isn't Christian enough.

When I told my mom I was bi, she said many of the same things (w/o the Jesus). Bc of her "kind and loving" reaction, I never brought it up again. If twitter'd been around &I found out she'd posted this, it would've completely ended our relationship and any trust I had in her. FYI
@MuddyPenguins
I'm not sure understand to what you're referring. Who's the "legalistic" stuff? Those who selected and omitted writings from our Bible? You won't get any argument from me there. They're embarrassingly legalistic.
To all the Christian girls who scan the world looking for our values only to be depressed, I recommend a Jewish man. That is the remaining place to find Christian values that we are oriented towards. I didn’t make the terms of engagement. This is 2023 America. Don’t go back to
Had to take over a French class today, the look of pure disappointment when the kids realized I would actually be teaching en francais, was hilarious. One student, "Shit, we are going to have to do work." "En francais, si vous plait!" "..." "Merde, nous devons faire nos devoirs."

Thinking about it now, the actual tantrums would start because I was being sniped at for being difficult (quiet, non committal, overwhelmed, etc.) No one ever asked why, just that I was "sulking" again. Oh, also, any time I would try to get words out my dad jumps in interrupting

@ThePrestonParra
Many Christians do not understand this. Jesus was the last Jew and the first Christian, but at that time they did not refer to themselves as Christian. In fact, Jesus and disciples referred to themselves as Jews and what are current Jews they referred to as synagogue of Satan.
The Jewish Diaspora is not the Israeli government. You know it's wrong to hold an entire religion responsible for the actions of a government. You all know this.
@MariamBarghouti
We don't control the Israeli government. This is like asking Muslims worldwide why they are allowing Iran to do everything in their name, or Al Qaeda to do terrorism in their name. They aren't. We aren't.
Please stop with the antisémitic "angry god of the Old Testament," rhetoric. It's Christian, supersessionist, and gives Christian and anti-theists an outlet for their anger against Jews.

The God of the Old Testament is a vengeful mfer and definitely the version that modern Christianity prefers. Where that lands on one’s own Morality Meter is a litmus test of some kind. But if you’ve come here pissed off about Christianity, you’re hardly alone.
Ann isn't Jewish, nor does she appear to be part of ANY Black community. She feels awfully comfortable lying about all of us though. While many Jews were active in the civil rights movement, we certainly didn't start it and to imply African Americans owe us anything is delusional
Did you know it was the Jews who started the Civil Rights Movement in America?
They saw the Black community struggling in their cause, murdered, silenced for speaking up against Jim Crow and the inhumane treatment of the black community
It's the Jews who will turn the tide NOW
I mean, Mother Gothel engages in blood libel so the fact that they gave Rapunzel WASPy features to show how beautiful she was while giving Mother Gothel stereotypical Jewish features... Is also bad. It's also as if this stuff is so baked in some folks don't even notice it
The entire bible was made up. It was written before we had the scientific method, a concept of gravity, any sort of fact checking, cameras, statistical analysis, interpolation, physics, chemistry, biology, or anatomy.
Hello. They made. It. Up.
All of it.
i think this line of argument would be more convincing if it did not consistently come from people who are very obviously upset that marginalized religions don’t consider them to be anything but evangelicals without Jebus

@QueenMab87
Fair enough. I sure hope you aren't saying Judaism is about finding loopholes to being "technically" a good person, because that's not my understanding of Judaism, which is a religion of sacrifice and personal responsibility from what I understand.

- Gothel is Italian.
- Her design was based on a non jewish woman.
- There's other mediterranean people with those features.
- The writer was jewish.
Hundreds of rioters burned down the el-Hamma synagogue in Tunisia last night, posting videos of themselves doing it on TikTok and Facebook.
More overt, violent antisemitism in a country where a deadly terror attack took place against its Jewish community earlier this year.
When a woman shares that she has been harmed by men, she doesn't like men/is wary of being around men, do not jump directly to "not all men." We know. We also know that YOU are one of the men we worry about.
@sohelpmejesseca
That's a nightmare, you have a really twisted worldview of men but it works for you. That's the result of trauma. It lasts a lifetime but there are plenty, and I mean, millions of nice men out there. Millions.
According to audio transcripts filed, Rudy Giuliani said Jewish people “want to go through that freaking Passover all the time” and how they should “get over the Passover” because it was 3,000 years ago.

Same. This poor girl is probably being sent to middle school in 4th grader's clothes. Her friends may not tease her, but the rest of the school might, and that's scarring. Her smart friends probably helped her practice what to say and how to say it.
