YIPPEE!!! JUDAISM!!! ✡️

OK BACK TO MODERN DAY. sorry for being jewish on main i was cleaning out my drafts and finally decided idgaf about ppl being antisemitic to me for Having Opinions

maybe jews would be more willing to discuss topics around circumcision if goyim didnt jump to "i dont care if it's a cultural practice it should be banned worldwide" and "the jews are child mutilators" (direct quotes)

RAAHHHGGG. trying to keep the vent posts to a minimum obviously but i just need to bitch again for a second. it's just insane how ppl keep making this about them 24/7. some city official said "this is an attack on Christians", saw replies on my posts like "i totally get what you're going through because [generic violence]" (well-meaning, understandably awful, not the same thing tbh), there was a citywide prayer service that was a VERY aggressively Christian thinly-veiled political event that only mentioned our community or even Jewish people a handful of times, and its just like. exhausting. its not about Zionism or politics or rebuilding the city or Christians or whatever the fuck. i dont have anything left in me emotionally or spiritually to keep explaining over and over how deplorable this whole thing is and how deeply i feel attacked. like every layer you can think of between the deepest parts of my spirituality that I don't even talk about, to my community locally, to worldwide is being targeted to me. i saw someone i know show up to an event with a bottle of whiskey, none of us (SPECIFICALLY Beth Israel + Mississippi Jews) are handling this well and i just wish people would stop talking about themselves for two seconds holy fucking shit

hm. noticing based on the articles coming out that they cut out all the footage of the jews in our seating section at the citywide interfaith prayer whatever-the-fuck (that i was only showing up at to see my rabbi) presumably bc all of us looked visibly annoyed as fuck + were sitting when everyone else was standing and made the footage look bad 💀

can i just say its done wonders for my anxiety/OCD getting out for big events now. like genuinely its so nice to stop thinking "jesus christ im eating wrong im breathing wrong im standing wrong im saying this prayer wrong" when i notice some other random person doing the same shit. like ohhh ok we're all just human. and i realize huh i actually dont give a fuck. and probably no one else does either. like humans are really just obtuse and oblivious and confused and sometimes don't realize when certain things are socially faux pas or obnoxious. and kind of no one cares unless it's a consistent pattern or personality trait. which like even then there's plenty of love for most of those individuals if they're good people and it's a harmless quirk. peace and love on planet earth

YOU CAN NEVER GO BACKWARDS!!! YOU CAN NEVER REWIND!!! YOU CAN NEVER MAKE UP FOR ANYTHING!!!! IT ISNT ABOUT DO-OVERS. IT IS ABOUT BEING BETTER. YOU ARENT FIXING THE HARM DONE EVEN IF YOU'RE FORGIVEN. YOU NEED TO PUT IN THE FUCKING EFFORT
