Had fun playing with glitters and chrome today to make some Hannukah nails for myself. My line work is a bit crap but I still love them

I won some judaica in an auction and they arrived this morning! The brutalist style Magen David is just dying to be put on a black velvet choker or something.

I'm tired. My synagogue got attacked this week. They thought it was an Israeli Embassy. This only fuels my desire to become a golem in the gym even more.

Please don't demand political litmus tests of Jews wrt their beliefs about the sanctity of Palestinian lives that you do not demand of others.
Assuming someone's politics based on their identity -- or putting forward a double standard you don't ask of others-- are forms of antisemitism.

You can be a Zionist and be horrified by the murder of Palestinian civilians.
You can be an anti-Zionist and be horrified by the murder of Israeli civilians.
If our beliefs harden us to the murder of innocents such that we cannot cry for all the dead, can we truly want to hang onto those beliefs?

I'm really sad about what's going on between Israel and Gaza and I'm praying that peace comes quickly.

G'mar chatimah tovah. We've come to the end of YK here in NZ and I feel wrung out and tired. It was a good day though.

Shavuah tov friends. The cool thing about living in AoNZ is that our community is the first to get to celebrate all of our holidays in the calendar. We got to see RH first and soon we'll experience YK before anyone else.

Am I using every ounce of willpower to not use the phrase "neverending clown car of Jewish holidays" in a professional email (to a non-Jew*)?
Maybe
