jews and israel are not the same. Jews and israel are the same though, you know? Not necessarily medinat israel, but also kind of yes in addition to eretz yisrael. Not all jews are zionist, but also zionist isn't what you think and more jews than you think are zionist. Even jews who say they arent zionist are sometimes zionist, even though they arent, because zionism isn't what you think. Most zionists arent jews but most jews are zionist, got it? We arent a government but we are a people. All jews are one people but also we are all so different. Those are intracommunity issues, but they aren't issues in the way you might be thinking. All you need to know is that we are one man, one heart. We are an am, and nation is close enough but we aren't a nation, we're a people. We are a nation, though. Are jews white? Some are, even though they aren't. But they are, yeah? It depends. Assume they aren't, mostly. What is whiteness? What is judaism? We are an ethnoreligion. Jews are an ethnicity, but also a religion. Am, remember? Am yisrael. You can convert, but not how you think. Also possibly not you. How many times have you been rejected? When you convert you were always one of us. I saw you at Matan Torah! I've heard it phrased as a tribal initiation once, and I think I like that phrase. Anyways if you're a jew you were always a jew, and our home is your home. Do you remember Eretz Yisrael? It's our calendar and our prayers and our compass and our celebrations and our sorrow and our joy. Is that zionism? Yeah, probably. Maybe not, but it might be close.

If you ever want fantasy/sci-fi name inspiration, look no further than Yiddish/Hebrew word mash-ups:

so, I was taking a survey on orthodox jewish english, and it had a bunch of phrases and examples of grammar that you had to answer if/how often you’d actually say them

Hmm the consent form says it's for people who are Modox. To take or not to take...

I don’t think so… I think when it said modern orthodox english, it meant that the english is modern, not the orthodoxy

It says Modern Orthodox twice:

Hey! Jews in my phone do you remember being told about Elf on the Shelf for the first time?

Actually this is really insensitive. Don't you know that at least 70% percent of Ashkenazi Jews are lactose intolerant? How can you post about enjoying something that causes untold pain and suffering to the majority of all Jews??

I know this is a joke but
