「 Someone asked, "Are you struggling with your Judaism right now?"

I struggle not with my Judaism, but with others twisting Judaism to fit their goals. Taking Sacred words and making them profane. Taking magic and grinding it beneath their feet. Telling Jews they are not Jewish for not falling in line.

My Judaism will hold me in my last breath, lay me to rest in my shroud, carry my soul to the next life. My Judaism will burn brighter in these moments when people wish it will die out.

Those who wish my Judaism to die will always be disappointed. I understand the feeling of deep betrayal.
I know your loss. Your grief. Our anger. Our rage. Our sanctified fury.

Remember the words of Jewish wisdom: ours souls are like a candle. As they flicker and dance, so do we.
Questioning is normal. Burning brighter at times and smaller in others is part of the process.

Know that we cannot relinquish Judaism to those who wish to turn it to the idolatry of nationalism. Of blood shed. Of horror.

We know of Her magic and wisdom and love. We know of the words written and whispered and carried by those not praised by the regimes in power.

It is okay to struggle. There is no shame in that. 」

Thank you, #maimonides_nutz

Shabbat Shalom.

Have you ever met someone who seems quiet and reserved, but you just *know* there's a universe of thoughts and emotions below the surface?

This is not just about learning words; it's about understanding the human condition, the deep wisdom rooted in everyday sayings

With this phrase in your conversational toolkit, you're not just speaking Hebrew—you're living it, loving it, and lighting up lives with it

Today marks the start of the new Jewish year, תשפ"ד (pronounced: Tav Sheen Peh Dalet), and it's a time for reflection, renewal, and setting intentions for the days ahead.

So, as we step into this new year, I wish that we all carry the word Peace in our hearts and actions, not just for ourselves but for all of humanity. Together, we can make this world a more peaceful and harmonious place for everyone. 🌍✨🕊️
