MiποΈΧΧContext: * some people holding up water after kabshab, not wine *
Rabbi: explains a nice story about how Moshe can only pronounce certain words and those words that have something to do with life, end similar to ΧΧΧΧ/ΧΧΧΧΧ, ΧΧΧ, ΧΧΧ. So it's okay to drink water instead of wine.
Mi after it: Let's go dahe*im* 
Wattana's Place of Brainrot"Accusing Israel of genocide is bigotry", yikes. And the admin of Babka.Social even support this guy. Says a lot about the instance.

Serge from BabkaTonight is Shabbat and in a few days it will be Rosh Hashana.
As we reflect on our time and the new year, I'd like you to consider Babka Social runs in the negative to the tune of around $250 a month.
That's money that I pay out of my own pocket to keep the service running, and it's not really sustainable. I've been cutting overhead costs, but even then, if you value the service we provide to the Jewish community on the Fediverse, if you can afford it, please support this work on Patreon.

I refuse to be the model minority and I won't give up to demands that other Babkans be either.
We enforce the rules we have (I wrote them) but won't give in to keyboard bullies who insist that we be all be polite, that we align with a certain political movement, that we don't express our pain, that we aren't religious enough, that we talk about Judaism too much, that we talk in certain ways, that we respond to demands of loyalty pledges, that we are too sexual, that we're not sexual enough, that we're too Queer, that we're too heternormative, etc.
As long as you follow the rules, you're allowed to be authentically Jewish in whatever way speaks to you on Babka Social.
Aral BalkanPublic service announcement:
I am blocking the babka.social instance as the person who runs it (Serge) is a Zionist and a genocide/denier, who conflates being Jewish with being Zionist (βZionism is a belief that more than 80% of Jews have. Talking about Zionists is talking about Jews.β β https://babka.social/@serge/115160596730973593) and who states that Israelis are not colonisers and that we cannot criticise Israel for killing children (one an hour on average for 23 months; https://babka.social/@serge/114670463036891746).
I will not federate with genocide deniers or people who hold the antisemitic view that all Jews support genocide and I suggest you do not do so either.

Serge from Babka (@[email protected])
@[email protected] 1. Zionism is a belief that more than 80% of Jews have. Talking about Zionists is talking about Jews. 2. Jews are indigenous to Israel. Claiming they're not is both untruthful and hateful. 3. Zionism is the belief that Jews should have the same rights as everyone else in the world in terms of self-determination. It has nothing to do with "Taking over other people's land" 4. A non-Jew defining Zionism is like mansplaining what manspaining is to a woman. It's gross. 5. The murder of the Jews in DC was not because they were Zionist. The shooter didn't know anything about them. 6. Even if they were murdered for being Zionist, no one should be murdered for their religious beliefs. This is bare humanity. 7. Promoting a murder and then talking about how "Karma's a bitch" is encouraging murder is pure wrong.
The "unless you do that" is a ceasefire and a two-state solution, by the way. I'll say it again: avoid the instance like the plague. This guy you see is the instance's admin, and it only gets worse (see my pinned post).
BabkaShabbat Shalom Babka!
It's time for another This Week in Babka!

If you're a Babka Social member, or even if you're not and simply appreciate the effort that this instance puts into providing a safe space for Jews to be Jews on the Fediverse, please join our Patreon and support our work.
I had originally intended Babka Social as a refuge from Twitter and Facebook, but it's become a refuge for Jews on the Fediverse who want to escape antisemitic admins elsewhere.
If that matters to you, either because you're here or maybe you're somewhere else and know you may need to migrate here, it would mean a lot to to me if you'd join the Patreon for the instance.

If you're already a Patreon member, THANK YOU! Your contribution helps keep me motivated.
Jeremy (ΧΧ’Χ§Χ) πΊπ¦Today, I found out that we (#BabkaSocial) are part of an ADL conspiracy to fake antisemitism to protect Israel, and that this is proof antizionism is not antisemitism.
Mastodon is a great place for learning!

SkalyJust added lots of new handmade jewellery to my shop and for a limited time everything is 50% off. Wasn't able to function since the 7th of October and the rising stress since, but I still created a lot in that time, hoping my works can make others shine extra bright in their own unique light β€οΈ
