Shabbat Shalom, friends 🤍

This marks the 35th Shabbat in a row that I’ve had the privilege of sharing your beautiful photos and messages in response to my weekly Shabbat greeting. What began as a simple post has grown into something far more meaningful than I ever imagined.

Week after week, you bring light, warmth, and connection into this space. Seeing the images you share, whether candles, tables, family moments, or quiet reflections has turned this into a truly special tradition for our community.

What started as a collection of lovely photos has become something deeper.

Reading your comments has become one of my favorite ways to welcome Shabbat. If I ever miss responding, please know it’s never intentional, sometimes comments get hidden but I always see the spirit behind them and feel connected to each of you on this sacred day 💙

Wishing all of you a peaceful and meaningful Shabbat. Thank you again for taking the time to send me these pictures🕯️🕯️

So offended as it should be by egregious attacks due to religious motives but so silent when a #Government does the same systematically!

web accessibility inquiry: is there a way for me to specify how a sequence of characters should be read by screen readers?

specifically, I habitually spell God as 'G?d' (capital G, question mark, lowercase d), and I want a screen reader that encounters it in an HTML document to read it as 'God', if at all possible. this is for a personal project that I plan to make public when I complete it.

The Bund: Fighting Fascism, Fighting Zionism

Zionism was able to take hegemony because the whole world decided to betray Jewish refugees [after World War 2]. They specifically made laws to keep out the majority of Jewish refugees. This is what allows violent [ethnic] ideologies like Zionism to take root. Jews were not the only group of traumatized refugees, rotting in camps, radicalized into movements that promise redemption through violence. It is a common tale. This is the story of the twentieth century.
