A beautiful rambling exploration from the archives of #TheForward about #Queer #Jewish life and #Yiddish culture,at times when being open about one's identity was so dangerous.

I’m reading lots of Hebrew correspondence from the early 20th. A frequent acronym they use for God is השי״ת (ה׳ יתברך). It means “God, blessed be he.” But I can’t help but read it phonetically: hashit, which would mean “the shit.” #hebrew #jewish #Mazeldon #languages #language #god #religion

#ElonMusk creates the conditions on his #platform for #hateSpeech and #disinformation to run rampant, gets criticized by a chorus of people and institutions, loses revenue because his platform is now a #cesspool for #bigotry, and then singles out a #Jewish-identifying organization fighting #antisemitism as the one to blame. Get off #Twitter. Now. There's no rational basis for engaging with a platform that explicitly promotes and amplifies hate-speech and bigotry.

I was reading Sefaria a while back and I recall the rough outline of the story, but not what text.
It goes like this: there are a few people, rabbis I believe, talking with one another. One says that they are the Mashiach because they can do things like walking through walls and other feats of sorcery. The other rabbi essentially says 'bro I can do that too' and talks about that not being the criteria for Mashiach and it goes from there.
What was I reading? Does anyone know? Send help.
Sincerely,
really trying to remember where I read that one thing

#Greenblatt called #Musk’s threat of a #lawsuit “#frivolous” & said Musk’s behavior was #reckless & #dangerous, coming 2 weeks ahead of the #Jewish High Holidays.
The Forward, a daily Jewish publication, has since recently started a running list of Musk’s “disturbing comments.”

#ElonMusk’s threat to #sue the #ADL extends platform’s war of words
Since buying #Twitter last year, Elon #Musk has developed a seeming obsession w/the Anti-Defamation League.
Over the past several days, the owner of #X …has posted at least 25 times about the ADL, a #nonprofit #Jewish group that fights #antisemitism.

Hey #Jewish Fediverse, #Mazeldon denizens, what is your synagogue’s policy for masking for the upcoming holidays?
Is it in line with the actual situation of your area with COVID and the nasty URI and strep strains going around?
Is it really inclusive of sick, disabled and immunecompromised congregants or are they relegated to livestreaming by a policy that would endanger them?
Very exciting news from Mexico!
Also, I think she would be making history as the first #Jewish president of #Mexico if elected.

Wolf once had a cluster of superficial political and personal similarities to Klein: a #feminist author of real literary ability, a #Jewish woman, and, of course, a Naomi. Klein grew accustomed to being mistaken for Wolf, but never fully comfortable. Wolf's politics were always more Sheryl Sandberg than bell hooks (or Emma Goldman).
