Laura Anne GilmanIf only there was someone they could have asked about appropriate holiday images and traditions. If only… 🤦🏽♀️
(We don’t expect much of them, dog knows, but it would be nice to be _pleasantly_ surprised, just once.)
Kyrylys@LAGilman Sorry to ask but i'm curious and i'm not familiar with Jewish religion details. But what's the difference? I mean, i thought the picture was a Jewish candelabra. I count and has 7 arms. But i think i miss something.
@Kyrylys A channukiah (commonly referred to as a menorah) has 9 candles - one for each of the 8 nights, and one “leader” to light it. The photo they chose only has 7. Basic math.
The idea that Christians don’t need to know anything other than their own symbols is egotistical b.s.
Jeremy (יעקב) 🇺🇦@LAGilman @Kyrylys alternatively, the paeans to marginalized communities need not require actual interaction with them.
Nobody is making him say he cares about Hannukah. He wants to, but only in a way that doesn't include Jews.
Part of why it applies to him and not to her, is because I doubt @Kyrylys would try to indicate knowledge and comfort with #Judaism beyond her actual interest in it (as proven by this exact request for information).
@imstilljeremy @Kyrylys um, thanks for explain8ng my own clarification to me?
I'm sorry. I was trying to build off of your reply and give a slightly different way of looking at/explaining the problem in a way that I thought might be more accessible.
I was definitely not trying to speak over you, correct you, or explain to you. I see how what I said implied that, though. Would you prefer me to delete my replies, or leave them up? If so, all of them?
Again, I apologize.
