I think my hyperindependence is preventing me from making close friendships bc whenever someone is interested in being friends with me I don't notice a lot of the time. bc I just do everything myself to the point that it's possibly unhealthy. I genuinely act like I can solve and do everything alone even when I logically know I need other people.

anyway related question for the tumblr extroverts: if you are extroverted and you have tons of friends, how do you feel if someone a lot more introverted wants to be friends with you? Does it feel weird because you know they won't keep up with you socially, or it is just nice to have more friends?

YOOOO LFG!!! CHABAD FOR THE WIN!!!

ngl something that's hard to do as a deep in the depths of poverty rural American is keep Kosher. There are no kosher options in the 4 restaurants we have in town lmfao, and while we do our best not to buy pork sometimes it's the only meat that's affordable or available at the food pantry

it’s becoming increasingly obvious that my classmates in “ancient israelite religion” are EXTREMELY christian and taking this class because they view judaism as christianity lite

happy 12th birthday none pizza with left beef

I am sure it works for some, but the “you are not a burden” posts don’t help me. What helps me is remember that I am allowed to be a burden.

I put work into being there for loved ones, and I even inconvenience myself for strangers sometimes. I am also allowed to take up that space!

Loving someone often consists of work. But what we need to remember is we’re worth the work and effort! We deserve the work and effort.

today i learned that when you’re eating a bagel, you should say hamotzi before cutting it, and then take a bite after putting your toppings on. even though this causes a delay between blessing and bite, the delay is permitted because eating the first bite of bread with tasty condiments honors the bracha!

in my town, i am a regular at three establishments. the dispo, the yarn store, and the antique mall. wouldn’t have it any other way

i have problems sleeping most nights, so i’ll usually have half an edible a couple hours before bedtime to make me super sleepy. like a melatonin gummy but chocolate!

anyways, did that last night and unknowingly ate an entire bag of string beans

The fact that Jews cannot mourn our dead on the anniversary of their deaths, and instead must be met with Pro-Palestinians mocking it, should say all we need to know.

i saw so many keffiyahs on campus today. it served as an exhausting reminder that not a single day is left for jews to grieve. the mourning of israelis is a deeply politicized act. it shouldn’t be. it shouldn’t be and i’m so tired. i’m going to a memorial and had to get the address from an organizer because they can’t safely publish it.

I'm not in the mood to post, but there is a virtual candle memorial. Get a name, light a candle, and remember them 🕊️

This is 74 year old Canadian Israeli Peace activist Vivian Silver.

Silver dedicated her life to promoting peace. she co-founded Women Wage Peace, an interfaith grassroots organization, and was a board member of the human rights organization "Bzelem". she volunteered in "On the Way to Recovery," accompanying cancer patients from the Gaza Strip to hospitals in Israel. she was co-CEO at Ajik - an Arab-Jewish organization working since 2000 to support Bedouin society in the Negev and promote shared life for Arabs and Jews throughout the country.

When asked about her aspirations for the future of her grandchildren, she said, "May they have Arab friends, Palestinians. May they not be afraid."

On October 4th 2023, Silver helped to organize a peace rally in Jerusalem which attracted 1,500 Israeli and Palestinian women.

The last connection with her was on the morning of october 7th, when she hid in a closet and texted her son. she wrote "well, the terrorists are in my house". he wrote "i'm on your side". "i feel you" she answered.

She was believed to be kidnapped, but today, 38 days later, her body was identified.

May this kind soul rest in peace. The mind can't comprehend that this was her fate. Thank you for everything you did. May we will get to witness something of your aspirations come true in our lifetime.

Today is the first anniversary of October 7th, and honestly I don’t know what to say. I’m currently watching a special broadcast where they’re reading each and every name of the fallen people

I can’t articulate how surreal this feels. I’m just wishing for the release of all of the hostages 🎗️

literalllly “i would have hidden you during the holocaust” ok but iirc the number of righteous german gentiles is under 1000. ditch your hero complex and recognize you are not immune to being antisemitic and antisemitism is so much more deeply ingrained in western culture than you think.

I’m starting to think 90% of the internet would’ve snitched on people hiding Jews during WWII

.

practice is being generous, i was 6 i didn’t really get a say in it 😭😭 i just liked getting to wear pretty dresses lmao

Okay so I've noticed that every convert I know used to be catholic so I'm curious to see if it's just a coincidence or if there is a catholic to jewish pipeline.

Please only vote if you've either converted to Judaism or are in the process of converting.

Please reblog to increase sample size

realized simply talking about star trek is the best way to make friends at jewish functions

i do think medical & sciences should have different shirt colors. after you've been attacked by sentient plants or the hull has been breached by klingons or a malevolent space cloud has incapacitated the bridge crew, i think you'd want to be able to tell immediately if you're running towards a doctor or a geologist. design flaw

anyways i think top tier art major experience is having your professor come up behind you and go “this looks like shit. use a bigger brush” and it’s like like. ok yeah man thnx for the critique /gen

acrylic paint…. my nemesis….

made new friends at the rosh hashanah seder last night (!!!!) and one of them asked me if i was at all connected with the frum community in our area. i was so excited and said i had no idea there was a frum community!!

turns out the frum community is me and four other people 😭😭😔

It's 5785!!

Happy New Year! May you each be inscribed in the Book of Life!

finally reached out to my local hillel to ask if i could attend their rosh hashanah seder and i was so nervous that i drafted out my message on a piece of paper first. they literally responded to me within a minute saying they would love to have me and that i’m welcome at any future shabbos dinners
