WikiHow sums it up! Converting to Judaism is not fast or easy.

A friend is completing their conversion this week (panel of 3 rabbis and trip to mikveh - ritual bath) and will be visiting me next week to celebrate!

Lit the candles in the building lobby tonight!

Using the electric menorah in my apt cuz it's drafty.

Chag Sameach.

I think we talked about Angela Buchdahl's book when it was released. I'm listening to the audio version now.

That's so cool! I did enjoy the deli one and will tell my cousin who is the family "expert" on Hallmark movies.😅

Thanks for the info about the other film's lead.

Talked to my mom about Mira Fox's (The Forward) thought that the Hallmark movie reflects how Jews are viewed in American society.

Mira agrees with your one sentence review & I appreciate its' brevity so I don't waste time watching.

Now if they made a meet cute movie during Sukkot I'd watch that!

Asked my dad, a nearly 90yo life-long Yankee fan, what he thought of the Pete Alonso trade.

We were on zoom, but I could see him shake his head and then said "it's not good news." 🤣⚾

Had lots of classmates in the Detroit area in the 70s whose parents were Christian immigrants from Lebanon.

Lived in the ME during the Second Intifada & it wasn't about that to me (I'm a Jew).

I don't think it will free anyone.

The first step is to free all of us from H@m@s.

Red Auerbach's legend inc 1st all Black starting line-up in the NBA. My Jewish family wasn't unique in loving the game. Mom played college in the 50s. She sez WCBB is too fast. She played 1/2 court!

Do you think Texans will give up their dogs so they won't get called Islamophobic?

Same question about pork products.

When I lived in Morocco this century my Moroccan mom took me to her cousins' house where they had a slave girl (tween). But they said it was ok cuz they let her go to school 🤦🏻

I'm confused.

The link is dated today, but Ramadan doesn't start for another 2 months.

Do you know if the video is old?
December 14, 2025 at 1:23 AM
Thank you!

All the family chats today were about finding the Hanukah menorahs and the smell of latkes frying in our childhood home 😋

No toppings!

My mom's boyfriend is David Muir. Do not call when his show is on!

He's very popular with Jewish women over 80yo. All her friends love him 😆

I have no idea what it is, but they do protest outside of AIPAC offices for other climate issues.

Pretty sure they don't care about the environment & mostly hate Jews.

FWIW worked on environmental issues as a Fed for decades & IMHO this isn't worth the gas they used to drive in from the burbs.

I am famously uncool and see others posting about what goes with the shoes.

However, I thought of these lyrics in honor Morris Day's birthday today!

Maybe cuz I'm also old enough to remember when this song came out.

Israeli Jews were protesting Bibi and his regime long before October 7.

Protesting became a popular activity for American Jews on tours (often called "missions") to Israel pre-October 7 👊🏻
December 13, 2025 at 8:56 PM
It was posted on a mostly Boomer Signal climate group in the DC area.

The head of my synagogue's green team quit the group cuz it's not Jew friendly but I like to keep track of what they're up to in my neighborhood 🙄
