I made Gary (my gecko) a tiny Tallis and yarmulke for Rosh Hashanah and he wished u all happy new year

Happy Rosh Hashanah again from OP of the shalomander

THE SHALOMANDER?????

"It's dark magic!"

(og tweet one / two ) I see these trends and I raise you: why not both

What gentiles imagine vs. what Jews actually are

Culturally Christian Gentiles: The Judeo-Christian concept of original sin

Jews: Huh?

Culturally Christian Gentiles: The Abrahamic religions’ belief in heaven and hell

Jews: Say what now?

Culturally Christian Gentiles: The Judeo-Christian religions emphasize obedience over asking questions and debating ideas.

Jews: *spit coffee laughing*

I’ve seen some people confused about this:

Judiasm has no concept of original sin, we have mitzvah and averah (good deeds and transgressions. You cannot be born with transgressions you must personally commit them, they are actions). No concept of heaven or hell, merely a world to come. “A” singular world to come. We do have a sort of, i guess “purgatory” the maximum time spent there before proceeding to the world to come is 11 months Judaism is founded on fist fighting G-D and debating every aspect of our scriptures (which we have been doing for millennia) 

Also! The purgatory concept/world to come are not central to Jewish life in the way that wanting heaven and fearing hell appear to be central to christianity.

Judaism: the purpose of life is to live a good life and perform mitzvot

Christianity: the purpose of life is to go to heaven when you die

Biiiiig difference.
