Traditional-egalitarian neo-misnagdic liturgical maximalist. Yes, I'm the one who made that steamed hams megillah. איהו/ליה (that’s he/him in Aramaic)
so I think I’m starting to figure out why she kept on saying “I’m concerned” and then voting alongside Trump over and over again
NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.
F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins
The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

The difference between kapparos and the crucifixion is that Jews don’t worship the chicken
September 23, 2026 at 4:16 PM
“If we worship a man being tortured to death, God with think the man did our sins instead of us”
-Christians
What’s worse, getting called a “chicken-swinger” on Twitter, or getting called “genocide-apologist” everywhere else?

(Imagine having to think about shit like this every time you go online)

hahahaha what about shabbos have you considered that
A generation that has never felt lost.

A generation who has never been out of contact.

A generation that has never wondered what song that is.

A generation that can have anything written for it anytime, in seconds.

A generation where the solution to any question is always explained.
One science fiction author said a few years back that because of Maps in cell phones, a generation has grown up now without the feeling of being lost

He said imagine the impact of that in literature. What is the Odyssey even about?!

at the synagogue where I led Yom Kippur services, I met a very friendly non-binary music journalist who mentioned to me how they thought it was funny how easy it was for people to separate the art from the artist in the case of Macklemore

Because the art suckse

It's a bit worrying when people lose sight of the obvious reason Jews don't like Nazis

every few weeks this whole website becomes obsessed with Joyce Carol Oates again and I always feel the need to remind people of the time she said this shit because she is, in fact, an old woman, and she does not always post bangers
i’ll never forget the phrase “if it’s Chinese food and Holocaust films at Christmas“

dischorsebot should be higher up but to be fair, aaron rupar is the only bluesky poster influential enough to specifically make the president of the united states ragetweet so that's something
Good afternoon, bsk38.com was a 2-week sociological study conducted by Bluesky University. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

But for real, congrats to @moara.bsky.social, @jamellebouie.net, @atrupar.com, and all 38 influential Bluesky posters, as voted by the people! 🇧🇷

Ah, ok. Well people are also mad at her for having her baby at a Jewish hospital with alleged “ties to Israel”.

This rampant antisemitism is fucking exhausting.

not wrong
Listening to a podcast on Civil War tunes with Jewish kids is wild.

"Do you know what this tune was originally?"
"No"
"O Christmas Tree, it's quite popular"
"We have better tunes. Kol Nidre is an earworm" 😂

wow, russophobia much? orcs are real and valid
I don't know how to explain it, but orcs aren't real. Obviously, I don't believe in goblins and elves, but I REALLY don't believe in orcs. They're just something that was invented by a famous fantasy writer, like transphobia.

Trump starts out his UNGA speech with a reference to the US's 250th anniversary, and says he can report with pride that the US is stronger than it ever was before. There is no applause.

when I was younger, whenever I was having a bad mental health day and someone told me I needed to stop yelling, my response would be to scream at them as loud as I could in an “I’ll show you yelling” way.

Anyway, someone told Rahmeh to stop posting antisemitism
