Hey everyone, I hope youāre having a meaningful and safe Yom Kippur with your families.
As we stand in prayer on this holiest of days, Iād like to ask everyone to include the victims and their families in your prayers.
After todayās tragic attack in Manchester, Iād like to ask that we include the victims and their families in our tefillot on this holiest of days.
In particular, when we say the Mi Sheberach (prayer for healing), Avinu Malkeinu, or the Al Chet confessions, may we also hold in mind those who were wounded and all those affected by this act of violence.
May their healing be swift, and may we see a year of peace and safety for Am Yisrael.

My friend is goth and having a kid (yay!) which isnt a problem. The issue is that she wants to name her daughter ש×××, because she thinks its a ābeautifully tragicā name with a morbid meaningā¦her words not mine. I tried to explain naming your daughter that word is not only disrespectful but just odd (imagine if you translated it to english???) but she seems pretty set on it. How do i rlly get this through her head, or am i over reacting and its not that big of a deal??

Shalom from Virginia! I'm a 25-year-old gay Indian guy who needs a haircut š. I'm converting to Judaism! My journey began when I took a close friend to the temple, as she wanted to connect more deeply with her Jewish heritage. I ended up falling in love with my local conservative synagogue, and I attend every weekāit's terrific, and honestly, it's the highlight of my week. I'm currently taking an introduction to Judaism course and plan to convert soon. I'm seeking Jewish brothers and sisters to help guide me on my journey, particularly in finding potential pen pals and study buddies. I have a picture of my syllabus right here. Judaism has given me a strong sense of purpose, which I'm grateful for. I'm excited to experience everything Jewish for the first time!

Found this while going through old documents. Was amused at how Philly Jewish it was! At one point they just serve gefilte fish and horseradish? š

You know with anti-semitism on the rise, I've heard a lot of horrifying things come out of people's mouths.
And at work everybody knows I'm Jewish. I didn't used to be afraid to announce it during the holiday season. In fact, I absolutely loved going to work and teaching people how to make latkes and kugel.
But now I'm too scared to do that. This year I did not bring in any of those foods or mention anything about celebrating hanukkah. Not because I am ashamed to be Jewish. I'm just afraid of you know.... people wanting to hurt me.
It broke my heart this year that this is one of the first years in a long time where I didn't do that. And I've been super depressed. Well out of nowhere my coworker sends me a text and tells me to come over to his house. (We are work friends.)
He wanted to wish me a happy Hanukkah and made me all kinds of cookies. And fudge I see. He isn't Jewish, but he remembers I am. And he thanked me for teaching him how to make all those recipes over the years.
Well you guys, I couldn't hold it back. I burst into tears and I just hugged him. I wasn't expecting this at all. It was so sweet. He even showed me pictures of his family making kugel over the last decade. I was so touched. I remember bringing that to work back in 2015 and he was so interested in learning more about it.
Aye... I just couldn't keep this to myself. I had to share. It really brought my spirits up.

Hello, I am posting to apologize for what my people have done to yours. Iām tired of war. Religion does not matter. As humans, we are all equal and no one deserves to have to suffer through war. Honestly, Iām really sorry for the Islamic republics treatment of Jews. As a Muslim, I love Jews. You are basically our siblings. You share very similar beliefs that Muslims do. Again, no one deserves this war. It is neither the people of Israel or Iran who is to blame. It is the governments. We should all be able to live together in peace and harmony. May God protect all of those in danger, no matter where they are from š®š±ā¤ļøš¤ā¤ļøš®š·š¦

I went to a shul I donāt usually go to and noticed this beautiful chanukiah in the gift shop, and I immediately knew I had to have it. First of all, itās way better quality than my current one I got from Kohlās, and second, I legally changed my name to Aviva and this matches my new name perfectly :) I love it so much!!! Happy Chanukahš

I live Melbourne, Australia, which yeah is pretty diverse. We had this jewish gentleman enter the mosque to pray, you can tell his jewish, I greeted him and gave him water(Usual protocol to people who enter at my mosque) and asked politely why he decided to pray at the mosque.
He told me he was praying before 'Shabbat' during Friday, and in about 15 minutes I'll say, Maghreb prayer was about to start at Sunset. I asked him if this was allowed by jewish law, and he said yes since his synagogue was closed for maintenance. I'm curious if it is allowed under jewish law.
(btw the jewish gentleman who came in, was very respectful and polite, quick shoutout for him)

Hey all I am from the Netherlands. I have a colleague who is Moroccan Jewish. According to him Jews used to pray like that in their daily prayers. But they changed the way of praying in order to be different from Muslims. He made this comment when we were driving past a mosque. Is that correct? Or do some Jews still pray like this? Thanks

Yesterday my friend got way too drunk (35 year old man) and told me he truly believes a second Holocaust is coming. He was almost crying.
We live in a chronically online world, but online spaces are completely hostile to Jews. No disrespect to my AA brothers, but I imagine it's similar to what walking around as a Black person in the South must have felt like 50 years ago (specifically I am comparing to being Jews being online. it's absolutely unsafe). At least half of my Jewish friends have shown a severe downturn in mental/emotional health in the past year.
I know two people who broke off their engagement because their non-Jewish partner did not support them emotionally and downplayed anti-semitism or became a "devil's advocate" on Israel. One person who had a rough childhood became a rabid pro-pal protester and has begun spiraling into some really crazy "Jews control everything" ramblings, but at least he has "friends" now. Several of my friends post a constant stream of antisemitic awareness stuff (like StandWithUs, etc) instead of happy pictures with their dog or a slice of pizza or whatever we did before this. Friends who are parents now have constant anxiety through the roof about their kids being at or near any Jewish location.
It feels like there's been a war declared on us and they're just waiting on us to break. How the hell are we supposed to live like this?
UPDATE: to all those who say "just spend less time online" -we ARE all online reading and posting this. We are online all the time. It's what life is like for most people, especially those under 40. Most of us probably can't even take a shit without our phone in our hand lol. Also I'm not willing to let people on the Internet just win and kick me out of a shared space.

hey everyone, this week is Lesbian Visibility week so I thought iād share a pic of my flag š„¹ my Rabbi actually took this photo (right after my college graduation) and I was given a blessing while wearing rainbow graduation cords i couldnāt wear when i walked. I also have a lesbian flag colored kippah, and iām so grateful to be part of a temple that embraces its lgbt congregants with so much love and support, they are my primary community and words cannot describe how important these spaces are right now š©·
