Oh, but had the artisan who made me created me instead – a worthy woman... ...I would say "how lucky am I"

Father in heaven who did miracles for our ancestors with fire and water... ...Who would then transform me from a man to woman? Were I only to have merited this being so graced by goodness...

What shall I say? why cry or be bitter? If my father in heaven has decreed upon me and has maimed me with an immutable deformity then I do not wish to remove it. the sorrow of the impossible is a human pain that nothing will cure and for which no comfort can be found. So, I will bear and suffer until I die and wither in the ground. Since I have learned from our tradition that we bless both, the good and the bitter I will bless in a voice hushed and weak: blessed are you [HaShem] who has not made me a woman.

ואחר שכך למדתי מפי השמועה

שמברכין על הטובה ועל הרעה

אברך בקול נמוך בשפה חלושה

ברוך אתה יי שלא עשני אשה.

And after I learned so from hearsay's mouth

That you shall bless both for the good, and the bad

I will bless in low voice and a week lop

note that these excerpts conveniently leave out rhe parts where he jokes about how women have life on easy mode and spend their days laying on the floor tasting one dish after another. this poem is looking down on women and complaining about how many mitzvot men are beholden to

thought one: yummy yummy

Puerto Rican semi-slug, Gaeotis flavolineata, Amphibulimidae

Semi-slugs are land gastropods whose shells are too small to retract into, but are not quite vestigial (as with true slugs). The opaque green area seen in the middle of the body in the photos above is the shell.

For those of you who know zemirot, what is the name and appropriate sound effect for that one tune for Yom Zeh Mechubad?

As in:

Yom zeh m'chubad mikol yamim

ki vo shavat tsur olamim...

This brought to you by the extremely confused double take my family made when our rabbi started singing it Wrong at a shul lunch.

Antizionists when I talk about antisemitism, or critique actions which are performative actions for palestine which dont actually help Palestinians:

Hebrew school is separate to regular school?

Y'all go to EXTRA SCHOOL?

dyall gone mad?

LOL yeah it depends on if you’re frum or not (folks who grew up frum: you go to day school or beit yaakov right and learn all your stuff there with secular stuff?). if you’re not frum, you usually go to hebrew school on sundays.
