Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

This is Torah.
This is why my most "scare the hoes" political opinion is: MAGA is avodah zarah.
When I call MAGA/GOP post-truth, this is what I mean. It’s hard for people who value truth to fully grasp.

“But don’t they care about underlying facts? Don’t they worry it’ll come out?”

No, they really don’t. They reject that factual reality matters. Words are just things you say to get something.

This is the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the pogrom carried out by Germans only 87 years ago, an event that was another step towards the Holocaust. The murder of over 6,000,000 Jews and others that the Nazis deemed undesirable began gradually.

In honor of this week's parsha, a song from the deeply missed Debbie Friedman.

Shabbat shalom!

Shalom, friends,
#Halloween is a time for our darkest stories. Gather ‘round the phone screen and I’ll retell a classic tale of terror from the #Talmud. A cautionary tale about fear, forbidden power, and femicide.

del Toro literally quoting the Talmud
Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Inspired by the 7 minute heist of the #Louvre, here is the team of archetypical caper characters I would assemble for the Vatican basement 🕎 rescue.
Except, they’re all from the #talmud! Welcome to The Great Menorah Heist! It’s going down! (Or up?)

We need to take notes on the Louvre heist for the Vatican basement menorah heist. They did it in 7 minutes. It’s gematria.

The Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret includes a prayer for rain, asking that there be rain "for blessing and not curse, for life and not death". May it inspire us towards the actions that will help our climate and environment so that this becomes a reality. Chag Sameach, happy holiday

It's been less than 24 hours since Yom Kippur ended, and I'm so exhausted by world events that I need Shabbat.

Oh look! Almost time for services! Shabbat shalom!

(And chag Sukkot sameach in advance!)

Shouldn't be surprised and yet...here we are...
Can we not use "rabbi" as a pejorative for being pro-Israel? This isn't the only person doing it, as if they're desperate to prove they think anti-Zionism really is antisemitism.

Anyway, Schumer would never make it as a rabbi. There's no such thing as "expressing concerns for the sake of Heaven"
Call him Rabbi Schumer.

His devotion is for Israel, not the U.S. and not We the People!

Shalom friends!
TBH, I do not want to talk about a tractate of #talmud all about sacrifices. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned by now, it’s that #DafYomi isn’t for weak b*tches! So tell your doves to look away and welcome to #DafReactions Zevachim 15: Sacrificial Cringe 💀

OMG this one post just clarified for me the difference between Jewish bringing Moshiach vs xtian stuff.
We work thru Torah Mitzvos acts of goodness and kindness to bring the era of Moshiach. They are just... this:
Some people are desperate for the Rapture as a way to escape the consequences for what they've done to this world. They have a mindset that is permanently stuck in the mode of a guy who knows he's getting fired soon so why not trash the place before you go.
