I'm a fan of services that have the word "public" in them; like public libraries, schools, and transit.
And just so we're clear, my politics are socialist; I believe we're all here for each other; to leave better societies and a better world.

Let's talk about Joseph & Asenath's interfaith marriage.
Midrash & aggadah try to make her Jewish, but that's not in the Torah text, where she's noted as the child of an Egyptian priest.
So, as we engage with this week's Torah portion, let's consider happy interfaith unions; both in Torah & now.

When I study Torah (*), I ask myself three simple questions:
1. Where are the women in this story?
2. What are the women doing?
3. How would women re-tell this?
Then, I ask these questions again, changing "women" for "queer people."
(* or Tanakh, Talmud, etc.)

There is no one true Judaism or "authentic" path.
If you fear how others love & want a smaller "purer" way, own your bigotry & hate.
My tent is big enough for all who want to enter with love & build community under its canopy.

I asked Beloved if she was ready for lunch.
She said it was too early.
I countered by asking if she wanted second breakfast.
(The above conversation was in ASL, btw.)
We had second breakfast, and it was good.

On Sunday mornings, Beloved & I goto: ASL Club. It's 1 hour out of a week, but gives me lots of joy to be in a space where I'm chatting with people & no one is using voices/ears.

I (sometimes) refer to myself as a Jewja, because I'm both a Jewtina & a Jewitch; so, a Jewish Bruja or Jewja.

I've a theory why my shul is the hearing space where my #ASL is best-embraced.
With services in Hebrew & chat in English seasoned with Yiddish, adding a fourth language finds little resistance & a lot of curiosity.
I'm always joyful when Shabbat Shalom is signed to me.

I think two of my favorite words together in the English language are:
"And, bake!"
They're a signal that a we're about to get a jumbo sized serving of joy, with a side order of silliness.

"Understand G-d Wrestling
Name G-d Ours

These are the first words I say every day, & I speak them in #ASL.
It's my personal translation of the core #Jewish prayer the "Shema," which I'll translate into English like this,
"Hear Israel
HaShem is our G-d
HaShem is one"
