[image ID: a menorah with a city skyline painted on it standing with six candles: a blue shamas candle, and then red, yellow, green, yellow, red, in order. end ID]

Ummmmm I just came home from a Filipino Jewish bakery and y’all…

Filipino Jews have won Purim and maybe the entire baked goods category.

I don’t wanna brag but I’ve acquired an ube challah and an ube hamantaschen and that doesn’t even touch the variety of pandan offerings they had. Omg. This is easily the best discovery I’ve made in my city.

And yes, they ship nationally so I will be ordering from them when I move away.

I'm just gonna say something, Bar/Bat/B'nai mitzvahs are a celebration, they often but not always come with an after party and depending on the means of the parents of the lucky 13 year old they can be over the top sometimes. Much like rich kids with sweet 16s or Quinceañera.

okay thats out of the way, what I wanted to say is, I'm SICK of every media depiction of a Bar/Bat Mitzvah as a 100 million dollar, biggest party on the planet celebration of conspicuous consumption. Almost ALWAYS missing the you know Bar Mitzvah itself, and again depicting Jews over and over again as INSANELY wealthy. Like not everyone, hell not MOST people's Bar Mitzvah was huge and expensive.

another thing, I know by definition no 13 year old is cool, by definition they are greasy and annoying and cringe. But EVERY depiction of a Bar/Bat Mitzvah where the boy or girl of the hour is both an awkward loser and (particularly the boys) sleazy little creeps who are trying WAY too hard to impressive with their garishly massive (and expensive) party (and how often they quote how much something costs as if a 13 year old would know or care) it just seem a little close to the old antisemitic stereotype of Jews as crass and uncouth social climbers desperately trying to use their money to buy their way into classy society and forever failing.

Ways to show a home in a show or movie belongs to a Jewish character that isn't just lazily having a menorah in the shot for 0.02 seconds:

-Mezuzah on the doorpost/s

-Hamsas hanging on the wall

-Shabbat candles on a shelf somewhere

-Basket or drawer full of endless monogrammed and logo-ed Kippot from past weddings, B' Mitzvahs, and holiday parties.

-A calendar with both Hebrew and Gregorian dates on the wall

-A collection of Jewish books

-Various Jewish ritual items scattered around

if yall go into the inboxes of random jewish folks and ask for their opinions on the palestine/israel conflict just because they’re jewish, fuck you. genuinely, fuck you. stop doing that. you aren’t supporting palestinians by harassing random jewish folks on the internet, you’re just being an antisemitic asshole. y’all are doing the exact same thing as assholes who would go up to random muslim folks after 9/11 and ask them their thoughts on the taliban. it’s fucking gross. if you actually care about victims of the war, donate to charities or funds. share posts and information about the situation. don’t fucking harass jewish people.

#the entitlement of some gentiles is through the fucking roof #Why do we feel the need to do this #i’m not jewish i barely know that much about Jewish culture or judaism and this is basic fucking common sense #you claim to care about war victims but you’re just antisemitic pieces of shit #antisemitism #antisemetism tw #antisemetism #antisemitism tw #palestine #free palestine #jewish #antisemitic bullshit

kafka is interesting because i think from what ive read he had some connections with zionism especially through a few of his friends, and later rejected it and refused to move to palestine. he also said that a german language kabbalah could have been constructed if it wasnt for zionism. yet israel still tries to claim ownership of him.

#a lot of the jewish intellectuals of this time period who had interest in zionism (somewhat as a cultural movement rather than political) #opposed it later when it started to be made into a reality #kafka #mine #✡️

So this looks like a good read. Text: after half a year of work, my academic zine on the history of antisemitism & appropriation in western occult movements is done 🖤 a 22-page PDF full of citations, illustrated with historic & public domain images, pay-what-you-want (or FREE!): https://ezrarose.itch.io/fyma-a-lesser-key

twitter thread

Update (not that anybody is looking at the original post anymore): I have now read this and it is, indeed, very good.

Also, the author/artist is here on tumblr! Check out @sheydgarden

after some deliberation over a very gray area submission I received (in regards to my boundaries for this blog), I am going to close the ask box. I'll let the queue run, but once it's out, it's out. I've enjoyed running this blog, I hope you all have liked it as much as I have <33

Me: I wish goyim would make an effort to learn about Judaism and Jewish culture and history

Goyim: utterly butcher the terms “Zionism” “Ashkenazi” “Sephardi” “Mizrachi” “tikkun olam” “diaspora” “Holocaust”

Me: ok never mind, stop learning. No more effort. Don’t learn a new word ever again.

Though I’m sure they’re out there I’ve never seen any Jewish people complain about the use of golems in fantasy. In fact, I’ve never seen any Jewish people talk about the use of golems in fantasy at all and I’m curious what your thoughts are on the subject if you’re Jewish.

As someone who has Jewish roots that were completely lost during WWII not because my Jewish family was killed but because they hid their religion and pretended to be Christians even to their own children to keep them safe, going so far as to claim our dark hair and brown eyes were due to a single Spanish ancestor, I’m always deeply fascinated by the use of golems as an allegory for Jewish heritage, but I also thought the use of golems as moving gardens in Dungeon Meshi was unbelievably cute. However, while I relate to gentile characters with lost Jewish heritage I don’t consider myself Jewish and wouldn’t dream of giving my opinion on anything as a Jew, which is why I really want to know what Jewish people who grew up in a Jewish culture feels about the use of golems in fantasy like Minecraft and Dungeon Meshi.
