I feel like they should at least read Jewish Literacy by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, but maybe that's asking too much. 🥹

It's so exhausting having antisemitism goysplained to me by people who only vaguely remember their middle school history unit on WW2

I get so mad at myself for mistakes while cooking, but I feel better if I can at least learn from what went wrong 😭

I appreciate how supportive you've been with me since we've met. ❤️ Sometimes when I feel imposter syndrome, I remember that somebody as kind as you is supporting me.

I hope your travels are safe!! Shabbat Shalom 😄
