In honor of Leonard Nimoy’s 93rd birthday, I’d like to shine a light on a couple of his lesser known roles: those of Rashi and Maimonides, two great Rabbis in Jewish history.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nimoy hugely influenced me not only by his portrayal of Spock, but through the ways he showed the world his Judaism without fear, and with nothing but love and pride.
Happy heavenly birthday, Mr. Nimoy. May your memory be a blessing. 🖖🏻

Always funny when Zionists criticize antizionist Jews by saying we’re “good Jews for the gentiles / shande far di goyim” when Canary Mission has cited antisemitic propaganda network Infowars against us and while they receive weapons from the most violent white gentile Christian majority nation ever.
Yeah I’m tap-dancing for the goyim, clearly not you who receives aid from them to serve their geopolitical interests in the Middle East in exchange for testing out military technology. Enjoy being the white man’s whore! I’m sure the same nation that birthed neo-Nazism and instituted Operation Paperclip is a true friend to the Jews. Dance for that Nazi money you dogs, dance!

if you're not jewish you're welcome to reblog for sample size. i didn't include a see results button because of how it messes with the results visually, sorry. Edit: Yes, this very much includes the Holocaust. Also, "known relative" means "I know they're a relative," not "I personally knew them."

non-jews only
answer honestly, there's not really a point to this poll except remind people to check on their Jewish friends.
keep your answers anonymous while reblogging, and be honest while answering. no-one can see what you voted so being honest is only for your own sake.

Update post:
The US has publicly stated that it has not found Israel to be violating International Humanitarian Law (IHL), in terms of how it uses its weapons, and not blocking humanitarian aid.
Tumblr media
Yet for some reason, that doesn't seem to matter when it comes to how the US is currently treating Israel. At the UN Security Council, for the first time since the start of the war, the US has not used its veto to block a resolution that's anti-Israel. This resolution calls for an immedaite ceasefire in Gaza for the rest of Ramadan (half of this month has passed already), and while it does call for an immediate release for the Israeli hostages, it does NOT make that a CONDITION for the ceasefire. The operation in Rafah, since it hasn't happened yet, is not likely to happen during Ramadan, so the main thing this resolution is calling to stop, is the on going lower intensity fighting in places like the Shifa hospital, where at least 500 confirmed Hamas and PIJ terrorists have been arrested by Israel. In essence, this is a pro-terrorist reolution. The US did abstain, showing it knows this resolution is wrong. It's also meaningful that just a few days earlier, a similar resolution submitted by the US itself, which did make the release of the hostages a condition for the ceasefire, was vetoed by those great beacons of democracy, Russia and China.
Tumblr media
Did I mention Hamas praised the passing of this anti-Israel UN resolution? I can't stress this enough, but if a genocidal, antisemitic, Islamist tererorist organization is glad this resolution passed, that should be upsetting to EVERY person who values life out there.
Tumblr media
Right after praising the resolution, Hamas also rejected the hostage deal compromise suggested by the US, that Israel had agreed to, which would have seen 40 Israeli hostages freed, in exchange for about 800 convicted Palestinian terrorists let go. Hamas might have said no anyway, but we'll never know for sure what their answer would have been, had this resolution not been passed.
Tumblr media
Maybe the most troubling part is that the US insists this UNSC resolution is non-binding, meaning it will have no real effect on Israel's ability to continue fighting during Ramadan. That means, the US abstaining from using its veto wasn't done for the sake of a real chance to help Palestinians. It was a symbolic anti-Israel step, a bone thrown to Israel haters. That's how Israelis understand it, that's how every political player in the international arena (including the overjoyed Hamas) understands it, that's how political analysts understand it, and it should be troubling to everyone, that the US can treat a democratic, self defending, IHL abiding ally this way.
Tumblr media
In fact, at least one country is already using this resolution to put pressure on Israel. The President of Colombia has said that unless Israel complies with the resolution and accepts an immediate ceasefire, his country will cut off its diplomatic ties with it.
Tumblr media
Just one more thing. This is resolution did not include a condemnation of Hamas and the massacre it perpetrated on Oct 7, and yet the US allowed it to pass. The other day, the UNSC immediately condemned the ISIS terrorist attack in Moscow, which left 137 Russians murdered. Nobody suggested that "context" should be brought into it, like that Russia has itself attacked Ukraine (which Putin has implied is behind the attack), or like that ISIS' animosity originates in Russia's protection of the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad, which caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands, including many ISIS terrorists. In sharp contrast to this, almost 6 months into this war, the UNSC has not yet adopted a single resolution condemning the Hamas massacre in which over 1,200 people in Israel were butchered, many raped, and over 250 were kidnapped and are still held captive in Gaza. This discrimination was called out by Israeli ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan. He pointed to another example of such discrimination, by reading the resolution that was passed in 2014, when Boko Haram (another Islamist terrorist group) kidnapped Nigerian girls.
Tumblr media
This is 65 years old Rami Shani.
Tumblr media
He's a journalist, working for an Israeli radio station. On Oct 7, he happened to be covering a bicycle event taking place in Israel's south, which is why he was already awake and there at 5:30 in the morning. At 6:30, the Hamas attack started. As Rami started getting information about the massacre at the Nova music festival, he abandoned his original task, and started driving in there and getting people out in his car. He said everyone he managed to get out of there was wounded, having been shot in their arms or legs, one woman was shot in the stomach. One of the people he saved was an Israeli Bedouin Muslim Arab, who worked at the party, and was crying as he had been shot in both his arms and legs. In one case, he managed to evacuate 8 young people from the scene while seeing a terrorist squad progressing in his direction. He kept going, until security forces wouldn't allow him to go back in. He saved a total of about 40 people, and has been visiting them in hospitals around the country since then. Whenever you hear anyone arguing that journalists at the scene of a disaster can just keep covering the news, without doing anything to aid the victims, please remember Rami.

We had lived 2000 years without Zionism, and we will surely continue on for thousands more without it. Anti-Zonism is the future and the Jews before us, our ancestors, our souls, are watching.

Isn’t tarot/divination forbidden in Judaism? Forgive me my ignorance, this comes from genuine curiosity
This is a very Jewish answer, but it depends!
To be sure, many Jews interpret the relevant texts as forbidding any sort of divination, but also many do not. Many Talmudic scholars read the texts as only forbidding certain types of divination. Which ones specifically are forbidden depends on who you ask, but most of them aren't really used anymore. Or it could be a restriction against the way it's used, such as idolatry or using divination as a substitute for exercising your own free will.
There's also a good bit of history relating to folk divination in Jewish practice, casting lots being my favorite example (I don't know how to do it the Jewish way but once I have the time, I'd really like to learn.)
It really just boils down to the way you practice Judaism and how you interpret the texts, I think. Jewitches has an excellent article that goes into more detail!
