To WENEVERGOTUSEDTOEGYPT's Anon
(this is my old blog on a different account)
I'm so so sorry but I think I just accidentally blocked you when trying to delete something! And of course there's no way to undo it because tumblr is dumb......feel free to send any future asks to this blog and I'll answer them on wenevergotusedtoegypt.
I'm hoping you will see this in the Judaism-related tags.....

Yo, people. I just noticed that this blog has gotten a couple new followers recently. I do not post in this blog anymore. The blog that used to be here has moved HERE. So if you want to follow me, please head over there and follow! :)
One last attempt: YO, FOLLOWERS!
I've made a new account so that this blog can be my main one. Same url as this one used to be - check it out here if you still want to follow me. A number of you made the switch but there are still quite a few who either didn't see my previous posts about the switch, or I guess no longer want to follow me. So I'm making this post as one last attempt to spread the word.

ATTENTION FOLLOWERS: (repost for those who may not have seen)
I've officially created a separate account for this blog (my Judaism/personal blog) so that it can be my primary blog and therefore people won't be confused when I talk to them as "obsessedwithlotr" (my main blog on this account, created a long time ago). I changed my URL here so that I could keep my old one on the new account. Please please go follow wenevergotusedtoegypt! I will not be using this blog anymore. Posts will continue there.

Thinking about creating a separate tumblr account so I can have my Judaism blog be my main blog without confusing my 280 follows on my fandom blog (which is my main right now, because I came to tumblr for the fandom and ended up more on the Judaism side...lol my life).Â
I will let my followers know the new blog if I end up doing that.
Found out a good friend is going to be around for the summer...
...BUT my work schedule is 9AM-4:30PM and hers is 4:30PM-9PM.
inb4 âX IS NOT Â A RELIGIONâ
The problem with this is
1) It's stupid
andÂ
2) It doesn't take into account the probability of a member of any one of these groups walking by. Jews make up about 0.2% of the world's population. And that's ANYONE who identifies as Jewish, and doesn't take into account the complexity of Jewish identity, which can result in someone identifying as both Jewish and atheist. Plus, Jews are often concentrated in particular areas and scarce in others. Growing up, my school had such a large percentage of Jews that we got some Jewish holidays off even though I went to a public school. Meanwhile, a girl I knew went to a public school 4.5 miles away and she and her sister were the only two Jews in the entire school. If this guy did his little "experiment" where she went to school vs. where I went to school the results would be completely and utterly different. Muslims would have the same issue (there was not a single girl in my high school who wore a hijab; at my university I see one every 2 seconds). Christians are going to be plentiful nearly anywhere you go. Atheist/agnostic/pagan/spiritual are all very broad categories, which ups the chances of a passerby choosing to identify as one of them; on top of that, they can come from ANY kind of background, whereas a Jew either has to have been born Jewish or gone through a vary rigorous process (that is highly discouraged) to become such. Which again broadens the pool of people to draw from.
In short: epic experimental fail. Aren't atheists supposed to be all about rationality and science? No control for variables whatsoever, no rational analysis of the results. Proves nothing.
Question for anyone that may know Hebrew: what do the characters on this keychain mean? Note: this image is backwards, the characters are something like:Â ××××
I purchased it at the Holocaust Memorial Museum a few years ago and have just now thought to inquire. The reverse of the keychain is a decorated hamsa and is symbolic of protection and luck so I kind of assume the characters mean something along those lines, but I just wanted to be sure.
The best I can figure out so far is 1. I am holding it upsidedown and 2. The characters are: Alef, Bet, Gimel, Dalet/Zayin/Final Kaf. Iâm trying to type it into google translate, but Iâm having issues because the text will not cooperate in a left to right fashion and therefor the translation is âABC Wednesdayâ. Which makes no sense to me. I tried another translator and managed to get ×××× turned into âabgzâ which is still a mystery to me.
It's just the first four letters of the alphabet (aleph, bet, gimel, dalet). It's not a word or anything.
Update to this post: I got invited to another event, this time one that will have kosher food. It has all the RSVP options, while the first event still only lets me decline.
WHAT IS THIS, FACEBOOK.

So apparently Facebook is now the kashrus police.
I got invited to a fundraiser at a treif restaurant and the only option the site is giving me is "Decline."
No srsly though Facebook, I think I can handle this one without your help.

The dangers of speaking more than one language
Have you ever tried to quickly switch between two languages, neither of which youâre very proficient in? In Spanish, sorry = lo siento. In Hebrew, sorry= slicha. In hebrew, no = lo. So what happens when youâre swapping back and forth rapidly and then try to tell someone âIâm sorryâ in Spanish? If youâre me, you end up saying Lo Slicha, which is not only half the wrong language, but also essentially ends up sounding like youâre saying youâre not sorry to the Hebrew speaker.
I'm kind of surprised I haven't managed to make that exact mistake before, especially when I used to have Spanish and Hebrew classes right in a row.
If you're me, you also somehow manage to throw in some Swahili.
This Shabbos for the second time since November students from an anthropology class came to âobserve the cultureâ at Chabad during dinner. I really hate that professors think this is an appropriate assignment. It makes me feel like a zoo animal. Iâm not here for you to observe and write about asâŚ
Oy. I had to do this in undergrad, and our prof was a rabbi too. More recently, a friend in GRAD SCHOOL did this with the rebbeâs keyver :( granted she grew up frum, tho not hasidic. And her observations were interesting. But the lone chabadnik in our program was uncomfortable.
SERIOUSLY? That's so disrespectful. I would think that someone who grew up frum, regardless of the particular stream, would have more respect than that for a keyver...no matter whose. I mean, I'll be honest, I totally don't get the whole deal with the Ohel (and I say that as someone who identifies nominally as Chabad), but it's still not a place to be disrespectful regardless...
One step forward two steps back.
Just as I was beginning to think that my anxiety medication was working pretty well - the side effects weren't showing up as much as my body got used to it and I was only really having problems in the afternoon, so I was thinking maybe readjusting my doses next time I go to the psychiatrist to include one at midday would do the trick - and had a really good, upbeat day that also involved reconciliation with a good friend after a misunderstanding...more anxiety. And this was something else. Previously the anxiety has just been physical, not emotional, although sometimes the physical aspect was so overwhelming it would make me react in seemingly emotional ways (i.e. sobbing). But I found myself suddenly just so scared for no reason. I took my short-acting medication and around 40 minutes later it kicked in and I calmed down, but I had to be on the phone with my mom that whole 40 minutes to stay sane.
It's just so terrifying that this kind of thing could happen at any time, even on a really good day like today.

That's so ruuuuuuuude I can't believe that professor, where is this???
Sorry Anon, but for privacy's sake I don't want to reveal where I go to school. All I'll say is it's a large university in the U.S. However, this is not just one professor - the first incident was a high school girl taking a class at her high school for college credit that was supervised/run by a professor here in the English department, and this week the students were from a university anthropology course run by that department.
