In a world that tells us our worth is in our productivity, rest is holy defiance. God, give us courage to rest. Help us fully absorb the good news that our worth is simply in being — in being loved by you.

Jewish Resources (Assorted)

Since my last post seemed to be helpful to a lot of people, I thought I’d make another to share some additional resources. This list includes a bunch of stuff, meant for Jewish people in general. I would definitely encourage you to explore them! There’s a lot of useful stuff here. Goyim are welcome to reblog, just please be respectful if you’re adding tags or comments. Jewish Multiracial Network, an organization for multiracial Jewish families and Jews of Color Sefaria, a free virtual library of Jewish texts Sephardic Studies Digital Library Museum “The SSDC includes key books, archival documents, and audio recordings that illuminate the history, culture, literature, politics, customs, music, and cuisine of Sephardic Jews all expressed in their own language, Ladino.” (from their website) The SMQN, an organization for LGBTQ+ Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews Keshet, a group for LGBTQ+ Jews JQY, a group for LGBTQ+ Jews with a focus on those in Orthodox communities  Queer Jews of Color Resource List (note: this list is way more than just resources, there’s a LOT there) JQ International: “JQ celebrates the lives of LGBTQ+ Jews and their allies by transforming Jewish communities and ensuring inclusion through community building, educational programs, and support and wellness services, promoting the healthy integration of LGBTQ+ and Jewish identities.” (from their website) Jews of Color Initiative, an organization dedicated to teaching about intersectionality in the Jewish community, focuses on research, philanthropy, field building, and community education Nonbinary Hebrew Project: It’s hard to describe, but they’re working to find/create/add suffixes that represent nonbinary genders in Hebrew. If you speak Hebrew/another gendered language, you might know what I mean about gendered suffixes. Jewish Mysticism Reading List  (These are related to our closed practices, goyim should NOT be practicing these things) Ritualwell (you can find prayers and blessings related to specific things here, I personally like that they have blessings related to gender identity)  Guimel, an LGBTQ+ support group for the Jewish Community in Mexico. The site is in Spanish. I’m not a native speaker, but I was still able to read a little bit of it.  SVARA: “SVARA’s mission is to empower queer and trans people to expand Torah and tradition through the spiritual practice of Talmud study.” (From their website) TransTorah is definitely an older website, but there are still some miscellaneous pdfs and resources up on the “Resources” page. Jewish Disabilities Advocates: “The JFS Jewish Disabilities Advocates program was created to raise awareness and further inclusion of people with disabilities within Jewish organizations and the larger Jewish community.” (from their website) Jewish Food Society (recipes, have not spent a lot of time browsing here but maybe I should in the future) Jewish Blind & Disabled, an organization that operates mainly in providing accessible housing and living. Jewish Braille Institute International: “The JBI Library provides individuals who are blind, visually impaired, physically handicapped or reading disabled with books, magazines and special publications of Jewish and general interest in Audio, Large Print and Braille formats.” (from their website) Their services are free!)

The perfect Tiny Tim:

It is so easy for "Christmas Carol" adaptations to reduce Tiny Tim to little more than a prop. "God bless us, Everyone!" He squeaks, and suddenly Scrooge, the original Grinch, falls to pieces over this kid he's known about for all of three minutes. This is the character that finally starts to cut through Scrooge's icy heart. Why? Because he's cute? Benjamin Bunny is cute...

"Catch!"

Because he's disabled? This is 19th century London. I'm sure Scrooge has seen a kid with rickets before. So why Tiny Tim? Well thanks to the masterful direction in "Muppet Christmas Carol", we can see the impact Tiny Tim has on Scrooge, his family, and the entire story.

Scrooge first sees Tim perched atop Bob's shoulder as they make their way home from church Christmas Eve. It's clear that they're as close as father and son can be. However, while the Ghost of Christmas Present is charmed, Tim doesn't make much of an impression on Scrooge. Not until Bob says a line straight from the original text:

"He told me that he hoped the people saw him in church because it might be pleasant for them to remember upon Christmas Day who made lame beggars walk and blind men see."

Scrooge is astonished. Despite his young age, Tim is spiritually mature and wise. And despite his disability, he keeps an upbeat, cheerful demeanor, giddy for Christmas and everything it brings. When his parents start to squabble, he defuses the situation with a positive attitude.

Scrooge is moved to tears as Tim leads his family in prayer. Because yes, "Bless Us All" isn't just a song, it's a prayer that God will bless this family and that they will always follow in His ways. Their goose is small, their house is a shack, but they consider themselves blessed. Scrooge has everything, but he's alone and miserable. The Crachits have little, but they have love. And Tim, through his joy and optimism, is a constant reminder of that.

When Scrooge inquires of Tiny Tim's future, the Ghost of Christmas Present answers, "I see a vacant seat by the chimney corner and a crutch without an owner. If these shadows remain unaltered, I believe the child will die."

"If these shadows remain unaltered..." For the first time, Scrooge is forced to confront how his own actions, his miserliness toward his fellow man, affect those around him.

HE is Bob's employer. HE has been keeping this family in poverty.

Scrooge could have paid Bob enough to buy a warmer house, more coal, better food. He could have paid him enough to buy medicine or a better doctor for Tim. Their fates rest in his pocket book. And yet Bob and Tim still toast him at the dinner table. Scrooge might not have done much, but for the little he has done, they're still grateful.

The Crachit house is a home of love. And Tiny Tim is its heart. If Scrooge doesn't change, they may lose him.

That's why "Muppet Christmas Carol's" Tiny Tim is the perfect version of the character. It allows us to see Tim not just as a guilt trip for Scrooge, but as a person who's important to his family. There are stakes to him dying. There are stakes to Scrooge not changing, aside from an eternity dragging chains.

At least he won't be lonely.

What else is there to say, except...

ok I’ve put together a list of disability-focused books for me read while I have the Seattle library ebook card. I’m not sure what order I’m going to read them in, yet. and obviously this list is non exhaustive, it’s just what I could find & deem worth reading from a surface level glance at the blurbs right now, while I have a migraine. i fully intend to explore other topics and revisit other titles im unsure about/prioritizing lower, I have them tagged separately on Libby.

if anyone would like to join me on this journey— be it by reading/listening to the books yourself at your own pace or just following my own posts about what I read— I’m going to come up with a tag for this journey. suggestions for that are welcome, I just want it to be a near-unique tag because tumblr search is awful

(most of the titles I have selected for this list at least make a notable effort to be inclusive and intersectional, if you’re worried about that. however, I have not read any of these yet, I cannot confirm anything about their actual content. I guarantee there will be excerpts worth critique from books on this list. part of exploring these heavy social topics is critical thinking.)

my current list is as follows, in no particular order:

Fat Girls Hiking by Summer Michaud-Skug — I’m interested particularly in modifying hiking (and other outdoor activities) to be more accessible for myself, as I love hiking but find it very difficult nowadays, the book seems to be at least decently disability-informed

The Future Is Disabled by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha — disability justice for a better future that emphasizes the value of disabled folks. overall interested to see the perspectives and rhetoric presented in this book, along with:

Care Work by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha — I don’t think I can do this one justice in a couple lines of tumblr text. read its blurb yourself, it includes: “a toolkit for everyone who wants to build radically resilient, sustainable communities of liberation where no one is left behind.”

My Body Is Not A Prayer Request by Amy Kenny — appeals to my experience living as disabled and intersex in a rural part of the Bible Belt in an evangelical household

Disability Pride by Ben Mattlin — gonna be honest, I threw this one in without reading its blurb. regardless of its quality, I believe I should read it based off title

Crip Kinship by Shayda Kafai — this book is based around an art activism project called Sins Invalid, exploring some of the messaging of it in a disability justice framework

Against Technoableism by Ashley Shew — from what I can gather, this book touches a lot on the social model of disability

Decarcerating Disability by Liat Ben-Moshe — prison abolition and decarceration with a disability focus

QDA by Raymond Luczak — QDA stands for queer disability anthology, also threw this one in based on the title

#disability #disabled #chronic illness #chronically ill #disability justice #disabled activism #intersectionality #disability studies #theory #idk what else to tag it in terms of actual search tags sorry #if you can’t access a copy of these books for any reason let me know I’ll see what I can do #I may go back and add better descriptions of these books when I don’t have a migraine #it’s not a massive pain migraine it’s more of a dizzy cognitive fog migraine #will create a better version of this list at some point anyway #lous clues

Hi, I'm Protestant, but could you explain how you "offer up" suffering for souls in purgatory? In fact, could I be a pain in the rear and ask for any and all info you have about purgatory? I've found myself fascinated ever since I learned that offering up your suffering was a thing. Thank you!

Good Evening my brother or sister in Christ!, thank you so much for visiting me. I have a treasure trove of info on Purgatory I will link you here and of course if you have any other questions on Purgatory I’d love to hear back! My asks are always open. That link includes all the texts from what the Catholic Church teaches about Purgatory right from one of our books called the Catechism. I’ve also included my favorite talks on Purgatory by priests and even a course you can take if you want a real theology deep dive. Although the Bible doesn’t directly mention Purgatory, the Catholic Church believes it must exist because no one can enter Heaven without first being cleansed of all their sin. Think of Purgatory as a place of purification.

Now as for offering up our suffering, we must first recognize that pain in itself is a gift. That might sound strange, but, when we unite our pain with Jesus who suffered on the cross to die for us, we can lift up our heart to God and say that we want to offer our pain or deed to lessen the pain of someone suffering in Purgatory. When we do this, it will help push that person/people faster into Heaven (the amount of people and time is not known to us right now).

You can offer up pretty much any pain or action (no matter how little it may seem) to lessen the suffering of souls in Purgatory. Pain for example: the moment you realize you get a paper cut, accidentally stubbing your toe on the coffee table, a migraine, arthritis, going through chemotherapy and radiation for cancer, fibromyalgia, etc, etc.

Good deeds, for example: cleaning your room, helping mom and dad to clean up after a party without being asked to help, picking up a piece of trash outside and throwing it away properly, picking up a fallen pencil from your desk, organizing a cluttered bookshelf, holding the door open for someone, help someone across the street, etc, etc.

Since God is outside of time, He can use your prayers for so many in Purgatory that you’ll never would even expect. You can help your family get to Heaven faster. You can read a prayer already printed or make one up from your heart to offer up that particular good deed or pain. No matter how old you are, no matter your personal disposition if you are disabled or abled bodied, you can make a difference. May God bless you!

#asks #thanks for the ask! #and the icing on the cake is that they pray for you in return

so for context, i live off of disability payments and thus don't have a lot of extra money to spend. additionally, i'm unable to look at books online due to a vicious struggle to read and digest texts/paragraphs on screens, which is why i often turn to physical books.

for someone (me) who's desperately trying to find good resources to assist in his practice of kemetism, what would be your best book recommendation? i can only buy about one book once every 2 weeks, so any recommendations on where i should go next would be super duper appreciated! ideally, i want to read a lot of books, but i have to be slow due to my income. currently i've been eyeing:

temple of the cosmos

awakening osiris: egyptian book of the dead

the ancient egyptian prayer book

red land, black land

eternal egypt

sekhmet's servant

but again, i don't know which one to devote to buying/reading first. i've finished the complete gods and goddesses of ancient egypt, so i don't need that one recommended. but any means of help would be... really appreciated. please don't be ableist on this post either, i literally struggle to read pdfs so bad and listening is hard too re: audiobooks, i just can't do it digitally in any form.

Lord, comfort our community as we grieve missed opportunities, the ableism we face, and how our lives could have been different. Grant us peace as we sit in difficult moments, and strength as we seek a more equitable world.

(JTA) — A catalog of calamities is central to the liturgy of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the Jewish High Holidays that begin later this week.

We Jews are asked to imagine ourselves perched on the precipice of life and death. Nothing frames it as starkly as Unetaneh Tokef, the roll call of ruin enumerating various disasters that might befall us in the coming year.

With its repetition of “Who by …” fill-in-the-blank awfulness — strangling, stoning, famine and plague — the medieval poem is the stuff of myth and legend, an opportunity to ponder fate and frailty. But for the Jews of Ukraine, the majority of whom remain in the country despite the ongoing conflict, the text is heart-wrenchingly real.

When we Jews pray, we face east, toward Jerusalem. But as the grandson of a Ukrainian Jew, east always conjures “the old country” — that’s where my soul calls home and where I’ve often directed my most fervent prayers. This year, Unetaneh Tokef is a compass for my heart.

I’m sure “who by water” resonates for Lyubov Irzhanskaya. When the Kakhovka dam burst in June, the Dnipro River surged into her second-floor apartment. The 76-year-old retired teacher had hours to decide where to flee.

“Who by fire” must send a chill through Lyudmila Dobroyer, 87 — a Holocaust survivor and the primary caregiver for her son Yuriy, who has developmental disabilities. During attacks on Odesa this summer, her building was badly damaged.

And then there are more workaday terrors, fears that keep me up at night half a world away in my safe Ohio bed. What if I lost my job and couldn’t provide for my family? What if it happened amidst power cuts and sub-zero cold?

“Who shall become impoverished” — ask Evgeniy Moshkovitch, 40, a forklift operator who fled Kherson with his family two months into the crisis. With employers skeptical of the displaced, he’s unable to find a job and relies on Jewish community assistance to pay the bills.

Grim as it is, Unetaneh Tokef isn’t about blindly submitting to fate. Instead, it gives us the keys to our own salvation — ”repentance, prayer, and charity,” it exhorts, “can lessen the severity of the decree.”

Our own hands can rescue us, and post-Soviet Jews, who’ve doggedly rekindled identity and community after the Holocaust and communism, could teach a master class. As a longtime staffer at the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, or JDC, the humanitarian organization that for decades has aided needy Jews and built Jewish life across the former Soviet Union, I’ve seen it firsthand.

In Ukraine, I’ve witnessed local Jews volunteering for relief efforts in record numbers and my colleagues delivering over 800 tons of humanitarian aid, home care to the bedridden and Shabbat gatherings during air-raid sirens. We’re also addressing new waves of need: unemployment, educational gaps and trauma — all with an imperative to strengthen lives, even if peace remains elusive.

Hidden in Unetaneh Tokef’s horrors are some best-case scenarios, too: “who shall be exalted,” “who shall reach the fullness of their days.” What if it all goes right, the prayer asks? What if we sustain each other? What if we write our most vulnerable into the High Holidays’ symbolic Book of Life?

We can do that by marshaling our resources, as my organization has done since February 2022 with tens of millions of dollars from our partners — the Jewish Federations of North America, the Claims Conference, International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, individuals, families, corporations and foundations — and by lifting up individual stories so we understand the stakes if we fail to act.

For centuries, Jews have debated the identity of the nameless Unetaneh Tokef writer who gave voice to the cruel uncertainty of human existence and the possibility of redemption even in the darkness.

That anonymity hasn’t blunted the poem’s cold wisdom — life will often disappoint you, but it just might surprise you, too. I’ve learned that by listening to other Jews who could just as easily be lost to history and have just as much to teach.

In western Ukraine earlier this year, I met Liliya Sumka, the last Jew in a small village only accessible by dirt roads. A 54-year-old widow with cerebral palsy, she ekes by on a $52 monthly disability pension.

For her, the difference between “who shall live and who shall die” is sometimes the stack of firewood and food packages delivered by my organization — or finding God in her own still small voice reciting the Shabbat blessings.

“Life?” Liliya chided me with a wry smile. “You can’t make it through that alone.”

May we all remember that, recognizing that we only get to fullness by giving it — showing up with full hearts and a full commitment to aiding those living on a knife’s edge around the clock, not just in the pages of our prayer books.

October 14 At a shop in Khan Yunis that does various types of printing, I found a graduation hat with text that reads, With my husband’s love, and my parent’s prayers, I’ve fulfilled my dream. The shop owners told me that the hat was ordered by a student celebrating their graduation from Al-Aqsa University. The party had been scheduled for the sixth of October, a day before the conflict began. It might seem trite to be talking about celebrations given what’s going on. But the mainstream media seems to forget that Palestinians are also people with hopes, dreams, aspirations—which have all been denied by the Israeli occupation. My family and I left our homes in Gaza last Saturday. We evacuated from two further places before arriving in Khan Yunis. Now I’m here with fifteen other family members: two of them elderly, one disabled, two teenagers, and two very young children. We’re all squeezed into our cousin’s three-bedroom apartment in the center of Khan Yunis. We’re thankful to have a roof over our heads. Without mattresses, we’re sleeping on the floor. There’s no power, hardly any water. We have diverted sinks to buckets underneath, using the collected gray water for flushing. We have a single camp-style stove to cook on. I’m pointing to a drone that you probably can’t hear. Drones are now an ever-present part of our lives. They can bring death at any moment. I’m worried they will target me for documenting what’s going on. I have passport privilege and could leave, potentially. I’d love to leave. I’d love to be able to be somewhere where there’s running water, where I don’t have to worry about charging a device to have light, where I can just flick a switch or turn a faucet, where I can get bread, just like that. But ultimately I think there’s something more important than that: taking a stand and making sure that Israel does not drive us out of our land once again. Israel did it in 1948, they pushed out 700,000 Palestinians. And Israel is continuing what they started in 1948. Israel is a state that was founded on the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and they’re trying to finish off the job. I want peace, like every single Palestinian. And the only route to peace is through this stretch of land that Israelis and Palestinians both call home. The only route to peace is through justice and human rights and dignity for both Israelis and Palestinians, not through bombing, intimidation, and violations of human rights.

—Mohammad Ghalayini, quoted in "Can You Tell Us Why This Is Happening?: Testimonies from Gaza," in N+1

[thegreenleavesofspring]

Okay so this is a prayer request but it's also intensely personal so it's going under a cut.

So the thing is, I don't have a car. My husband took the 'family' car and my name was never on it so I couldn't contest that even if I had the legal means to do so. This is, as you can probably imagine, a bit of a nuisance in daily life.

I am dependent on my severely disable mother for rides. She's got a... fairly old Volvo wagon that sometimes runs if you pray really hard and nurse it along.

And I've been praying for nine months or so now, "God, I need You to have someone give me a car because it's the only way I'll ever get one."

The thing is I've had a slowly growing dread that my mother is dying. She had a stroke years ago and then ended up in a severely toxic abusive relationship and now she's alone except for talking to me and she's just... deteriorating. And for all the complicated history there I don't want her to die, you know? Not yet. She's not even seventy. It shouldn't be her time yet.

And she texted me tonight saying that God has told her to give me her car. And I am not relieved at all because that will leave her without transportation, which she needs even more intensely than I do because she has constant doctor's appointments and we do not. I can order groceries online and it's just less of a hassle for me than for her.

So my fear is that if God has told her to give away her transportation that means she won't need it anymore and the only way she could not need it anymore... is if she dies.

He has not told me to accept it, not that I've heard. And I do not want to. I dread what that means for her if I do. And I do not want to reject His blessing if it's what He intends! But. But. My mother...

Anyway if y'all could pray for wisdom for me right now I'd appreciate it. I need so much.

#(And it doesn't really help that I have been having a slowly-building crisis of faith for. Months now. Almost a year. Maybe two years.) #(I am... so scared.) #(So very scared.)

ID: white text on a black background reads, are you disabled and Christian?

Disability Pride month is only a few days away, and I’m looking for fellow disabled Christians* who are interested in writing 1 or 2 single-sentence prayers!

For the month of July, I’ll be sending out short daily prayers via text message to all who want them (stay tuned for a sign-up form if you want in). The more voices join in creating these prayers, the more representative of our diverse community they’ll be. So if you’d like to write a prayer or two uplifting gratitude or lament, thanksgiving or a call to action, message me!

*Folks who have a complicated relationship with Christianity and/or practice multiple faiths including Christianity are absolutely invited. Heck, even if you aren’t Christian but feel called to share your prayers, you are most welcome!
