Lmao I fucked up explaining Jewish dark humor in class today

I was like, our holidays are all about the times we survived awful tragedies like “hey the temple burned down but at least our kids aren’t being fed to crocodiles in Egypt! Pass the brisket”

Everyone stared at me in horror so I guess that went poorly lol

My gay identity and my Jewish identity were like tolerant neighbors who refused to socialize with one another. After many failed first dates and unfulfilling excursions in online dating, I realized that finding someone who could understand my faith and share in my family’s culture was more important than I thought.

A look into one man’s gay Judaism.

I watched my parents relax, settle in, and get to know him. Over the course of that dinner, something changed for my parents. My homosexuality had transformed from an abstract, scary idea into something beautiful and palpable: the connection they recognized between me and David, holding hands next to each other, laughing and kibitzing with them at their dinner table.

OK this is nice but the sweetest part is that their names are DAVID and JONATHAN and their huppah has the verse from I Sam 18:1, “And Jonathan’s soul was knit up with David’s soul and he loved him as his own.” Too much cute!!!!

THAT IS SO PERFECT *falls over*

Some good news, for once.

A new online campaign highlights the stories of Jewish women who identify as Sephardi, Mizrahi and women of color.
The #ShareHerStory campaign, which launched on Tuesday, is tied to Purim — the holiday during which Jews celebrate the story of Esther, the Jewish queen who saved Jews from their deaths at the hands of the Persian King Ahaseurus and his henchman Haman.
The campaign encourages social media users to share short bios about women such as Angela Buchdahl, the first Asian-American rabbi and cantor; Dianne Cohler-Esses, the first female rabbi from the Syrian-American Jewish community; and Alysa Stanton, the first African-American rabbi. It was created by the Jewish Multiracial Network, Jewish Women’s Archive and Repair the World.

men can’t be lesbians and lesbians who use he/him aren’t men nor are they transphobic. pronouns don’t equate to gender, so stop trying to dictate who can and can’t be a lesbian.

trans and butch lesbians who use he/him aren’t “men pretending to be women” or “straight trans men in denial”, they’re lesbians. get it through your heads that you have no place to dictate this. this goes double if you aren’t a lesbian or you’re cis.

i encourage non-lesbians to rb this post.
