Tweet of the Day

it is not crazy that this idiot confused the holidays of a religion he isnt part of. Yet he tweets this stupidity with such confidence and arrogance (just look at a calendar and get it straight!) that it deserves to be noted. And he continues to keep the original tweet up despite having been corrected by many people...

“The Jewish response to trauma is counter-intuitive and extraordinary. You defeat fear by joy. You conquer terror by collective celebration. You prepare a festive meal, invite guests, give gifts to friends. While the story is being told, you make an unruly noise as if not only to blot out the memory of Amalek, but to make a joke out of the whole episode. You wear masks. You drink a little too much. You make a Purim spiel.” Precisely because the threat was so serious, you refuse to be serious – and in that refusal you are doing something very serious indeed. You are denying your enemies a victory. You are declaring that you will not be intimidated. As the date of the scheduled destruction approaches, you surround yourself with the single most effective antidote to fear: joy in life itself. As the three-sentence summary of Jewish history puts it: “They tried to destroy us. We survived. Let’s eat.” Humour is the Jewish way of defeating hate. What you can laugh at, you cannot be held captive by.

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks zt"l, "The Therapeutic Joy of Purim," article published 1 March 2015

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.

Saw this mentioned on Instagram and holy fuck I hadn't even considered it....

Tennessee's anti-drag laws would criminalize Purim celebrations.

Purim Spiels usually involve a lot of drag, and it's often a tradition in Orthodox congregations for a Rabbi to dress up as Queen Esther or Vashti in the Purim Spiel. As a kid, all the Rabbis at my Jewish day school would put on a Purim Spiel, and yes, two Rabbis dressed in drag to play Queen Esther and Queen Vashti. Even in more socially conservative Jewish communities, Purim is the one instance where you'll see cishet men wear make-up and glitter. Purim has always involved a lot of cross-dressing and gender-bending and flamboyant make-up and costumes.

And I mean if you're a Christian and you don't care about Jews .....this would also criminalize Mardi Gras celebrations.

Shoutout to Mordechai and Esther for surviving a genocide attempt and deciding this time of the year belongs to joy. It would have been so easy to respond to that with anger or sadness or fear but instead they went. Oh. It’s springtime. It’s warm and nice and the flowers are blooming and the animals are out. And we are Alive. We should drink and celebrate and be happy. And all our people should drink and celebrate and be happy at this time of year for the rest of time. Real ones for that honestly

there won’t be such a thing as a ‘good jew’ and a ‘bad jew’ when we’re all gone.

as we get closer to purim and remember Mordechai’s words, this lesson becomes more and more clear.

Hey all. Just wanted to give my non-Jewish followers who might be curious about our calendar a little note.

I had a friend ask about Passover this morning, because they thought it always overlapped with Good Friday and Easter.

So, here’s the thing: The Jewish/Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar. It doesn’t follow the Gregorian/English calendar, which follows the sun. Each of our months is 29 or 30 days long, following the lunar cycle, and the holidays fall on different says of the English calendar every year because of that. Also because of that difference, a leap year adds an entire month for us, rather than just a day, so that the seasons in which our holidays occur don’t change, since our holidays are mainly based around the seasons and not just the calendar dates.

So, because it’s a leap year—and, yes, it’s pretty much the same schedule with leap years in the Hebrew calendar as the English calendar—we’re currently towards the end of Adar 1, and Purim, the holiday we celebrate during Adar, will be celebrated during Adar 2. This also moves Passover out to late April this year.

This isn’t a very comprehensive explanation, but I thought it might be helpful or interesting to those of you who might be curious about the difference between our calendars.

You know what?

It's wishful thinking, but lets get Purim trending this year.

Let's all make it, be big and loud and impossible to ignore. Let's flaunt our costumes, brag with our food, share our joy. Let's try to turn this website upside down.

Let's admit it, Purim fits the Tumblr spirit. Let's put it everywhere for one day(two days)

Let's make the holiday all about Jewish survival and celebration of our joy big.

#post photos of you costumes post photos of your joy. share your experience from harucon. make us want to sit in you Megilah reading #make site-wide RP of Purimshpiels #purim #jumblr #ישראבלר #יהדות #judaism #jewish

To all of the self-hating Jews in the diaspora who think they'll be safe because they hate Israel and constantly attack Zionists, I'd like to remind you of this quote from megillat Esther

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר מׇרְדֳּכַ֖י לְהָשִׁ֣יב אֶל־אֶסְתֵּ֑ר אַל־תְּדַמִּ֣י בְנַפְשֵׁ֔ךְ לְהִמָּלֵ֥ט בֵּית־הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ מִכׇּל־הַיְּהוּדִֽים׃ Mordecai had this message delivered to Esther: “Do not imagine that you, of all the Jews, will escape with your life by being in the king’s palace.
