Miriam has been my lifeline to the Jewish community that I never thought could exist, and never knew I needed so badly. Her incredible work has connected so many people to what wouldn't be accessible to us otherwise. Please consider supporting her & her very important endeavors.

Since we can't yeet MSG (off a bridge) into the Hudson (which can't possibly be ritually pure, but bear with me), how much 🌧 would need to fall into a basin constructed around MSG to cleanse the venue. (Aware buildings aren't purified this way, but just for fun.) @miriamanzovin.bsky.social

…Me to everyone deciding to begin Daf Yomi next year

I love this song. (TBF, this song can be sang about people who do the same just because they have an R next to their name. 🧲)

Shalom, friends! The current Daf Yomi quest ends on June 7, 2027 ( 🤯) and a brand-new cycle revs up the next day! Over the coming year, I'll be creating new tools to help current learners to the finish line and welcome new Daf Yomi adventurers. 1/

Shabbat shalom fam.

Well that escalated quickly.

About to start a read thru of A Dance With Dragons. I've been re-reading ASOIAF since April, knowing full well I'm never going to get to find out how the "song" ends. And no, I won't buy the fan fic that was the TV series. Salt in the wound: GRRM Reaper preface ADWD w/ "Next up, TWOW"...in 2011.

Chag Shavout Sameach! I'm making roasted strawberry & rhubarb noodle kugel with toasted almonds. Now if only I could apply makeup! Miriam makes it look so easy...

Get your emotional support cheesecake. This one goes out to my peeps who have been through some shit.

Facts. The isolation and loneliness fucking sucks. I wouldn't wish it on anyone... It's an IYKYK place that no one should ever know.

The six real Talmudic genders are: - obligated in positive time-bound mitzvot - witches, probably - you thought it was a beautiful woman bathing in the river, but it's a beautiful rabbi instead - tumtum, the mystery gender - the Satan in a wig and dress, à la Bugs Bunny - Adam (pre-Eve)(look it up)

I just love cats so much

It’s a classic antisemitic trope. “The Nazis didn’t just hate Jews” is a form of erasure and a way to diminish/minimize/erase the impact of the Holocaust on Jews. It’s a form of Holocaust denial and I wish I could say it’s uncommon but alas!

Today is 42 days, which is 6 weeks of the Omer. It is 1 week until noodle kugel and cheesecake.

Slightly increase a band: Dream Cineplex

This is despicable and also not unique in anyway. Eugenics language around COVID has been pervasive since the start. It was very literally the Biden CDC position. No party is exempt from societal loathing of disabled and chronically ill people and the celebration of our deaths.

Surely there should be some checks and balances that prevents someone from running on a Destroy All Jews platform but alas, California, you are too California for that. In all seriousness this is a really good example of how antisemitism is often keywords and “wink winks”.

Goya 🤦🏻‍♀️

You can use the hashtag # Alt4Me and somebody will come in and write the ALT for you when you’re having a day like that.

Today is 35 days, which is 5 weeks of the Omer. In other words, 2 more weeks until cheesecake.

Absolute facts 😂

Shalom friends! The Jewish holiday of #LagBOmer begins tonight! So it’s time for me to tell you the WILD story of fire-eyed pyromaniac hermit folk hero Shimon Bar Yochai, the OG Jewish Space Laser. www.youtube.com/watch?v=raFa...

Jews have been accused for millenia of the very things others are in fact doing. Keeping the world ahistorical, afactual, and uneducated by those who are dominant has been crucial for perpetuating antisemitism.

This is my life, and I can confirm: it's really fucking scary. The amount of times I've been gaslit by "medical professionals" is terrifying too. There are 3 times I've had unnecessary procedures that maimed and disfigured as well. The trauma is real...

A lottttt of Jewish people have stayed out of this conversation because they know how vile y’all are about it - speaking for us, shouting us down, telling us how we should feel, denying our lived experience - and how unsafe it is. But I *guarantee you* many are suffering and furious in silence.

Shabbat shalom fam...

There are so many times my Jewish friends and I have seen antisemitism ON HERE and not even in person and didn’t feel safe to talk about it on main that we made a whole fucking group chat! We have a whole goddamn whisper network! You don’t know shit about what Jews think.

Shalom friends! We’ve talked about the First Temple in Jerusalem.
We’ve talked about the Second Temple in Jerusalem. But I was today years old when I learned about… the Temple in Egypt?! 🤯 Welcome to #DafReactions Menachot 109: The OTHER Temple #Talmud #DafYomi youtu.be/U9-cDnwTL5w

Waaaaaaay too many of you sound like this.

It’s the 250th year of American independence, and the Pope and the King of England are reminding Americans of their revolutionary values, principles, and ideals Somewhere, John Adams is confused as fuck

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. hard mode: no star wars, star trek, lotr, dc, marvel, disney, pixar, dreamworks, spielberg, cameron, wachowskis, or ghibli.

When autocorrect knows you too well. When I type something else but it comes out as Pikachu nefesh, well, it's because my shocked face has been...shut down...for far too long.

Seriously like when did “Talmudic” become a shorthand? In this case, rabbis in the Talmud would shit themselves if they even encountered a computer. So I’m curious how they managed to get a monopoly on VPN companies 🤔

Ipod classic. 1TB and up. Bluetooth compatible. Plays FLAC. No need for subscription.

See women should have written the Talmud. Then they could have made a “pitching a tent…of meeting” joke

Obsession over Piker's most contentious opinions about Israel and Jews has diverted attention from his broader worldview, which is deserving of just as much discussion and scrutiny. For example: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Marlene cooked with this one.

Imagine being 10, getting the Torah parsha for your bat mitzvah, and beginning to study said parsha...and it's Metzora. Flashback to my mom and grandma freaking out, calling the rabbi, who no, would not change the date of my bat mitzvah...only to then have him explain...things. Ah, memories.

I turned 47 yesterday. Technically Gen X (by a few months). I might as well be getting ready for that 55+ community with this bit of info right here.

Wait. FIREFLY is being rebooted & it's going to be animated?! I...

Shalom, earth friends 🌍✨ This week, so many of us felt the emotional gravitational pull of moon joy from the epic #Artemis II mission. Inspired by the cross-cultural moon convo, here are some of my fave #Jewish moon stories, traditions, and rituals! 🌕 #jewishlearning #judaism youtu.be/lR1_VzbxHT4

Grilled cheese (cheddar & gruyere) on sprouted grain with gardein chikn. I'm full...but have to find room for that b&w over there...

This is me...waiting for 8:12pm like 💭 🍞🥐🍕🍝🎂🧁🍰🍪 IYKYK

I honestly feel sad for the Youths that they don’t know the feeling of going to a video store and wandering around looking for stuff to watch. It’s not the same as scrolling.

This makes so much sense. Now let me whip out decades of medical records from tests, surgeries, and more doctors than I can even remember to make it all make sense. (There is so much that drs cannot figure out, the gaslighting is overwhelming.) I'm exhausted on every level.

The Talmud fucking slaps.
