Shalom, friends! We’ve in Tractate #Chullin, aka “ordinary” everyday #kosher consumption of animals. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in the #Talmud thus far, it’s that NO convo is really ordinary! HA! as if! Welcome to #DafReactions Chullin 4: “Ordinary!?”😂

We got another one, friends! 😂😂😂

Shalom friends! Before we get into today’s page of #talmud, we gotta talk about the bewbs🍒 of yesterday. Plus, I develop a working theory on why we haven't found the Ark of the Covenant anywhere. Welcome to #DafReactions Menachot 98&99: Pitching A Tent (Of Meeting) 👀 #dafyomi youtu.be/0krimU6_mmo

A reason gentiles misunderstand Talmud is there isn't an equivalent for it. It's not scripture, it's thousands of pages of arguments. We read it not to understand G-d, but to understand how our ancestors did. Sometimes their wisdom feels distant and ancient. Sometimes it feels... very very familiar

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

reject modernity (online r*pe academy), embrace tradition (the Beit Midrash telling a man to die)

Gentlemen. can we try NOT objectifying the ark of the covenant????? 😂😭

“Agatha All Along” is stuck in my head but instead of Agatha it’s Babatha 😭😂

In which you learn all about an amazing Jewish woman from late antiquity, and about all the romantasy I read....

Thank God men are here to teach me all things I DON’T KNOW about Judaism! 😂😂😂

Look at the women at NASA. They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points. And they are doing it all with joy.👇

"American runs on Dunkin, but Judaism runs on the moon" I laughed hard enough that my cat came to check on me 😆 I've always wanted to do Kiddush Levana! "Just as I leap and dance opposite you and cannot touch you, so may enemies be unable to touch each other for harm"
