i mean yeah if i did date a trans man having a kid would be possible potentially but my boyfriend is a bisexual cis man. the cultural gatekeeping overpowers homophobia wow
what damage is intermarriage doing there. do they think that im going to go thru the effort of having kids if thats a decision i want to make and just not raise them as jewish if i make the effort to study to be a rabbi

i think about the pure absurdity a lot of the fact that some parts of the jewish community are so culturally hostile to intermarriage and the idea of a rabbi being one that when i talked about how i was happy that i could be a rabbinical student now whilst dating a non-jew people got big mad about it.

im literally a gay man

my family's jewish identity didnt die because of intermarriage it died because of a inability to meaningfully process intergenerational trauma and survivors guilt
Hebrew Union College to admit and ordain rabbinical students in interfaith relationships, ending longstanding ban

The policy change means that three of the four biggest non-Orthodox rabbinical schools in the United States now accept students whose partners are not Jewish.

Whenever people get offended when I use they/them pronouns for G-d or try to correct me by going he I just can’t help but wonder if they truly think that a being that is beyond our human comprehension of reality itself really gives much of a shit about what pronouns we use for them
Remember your fiber supplements this week yall
US-mandated religious freedom group ends Saudi trip early after rabbi ordered to remove his kippah https://apnews.com/article/saudi-arabia-us-rabbi-kippah-dispute-religious-freedom-a932e4b5def634b82da9ac212909652b
US-mandated religious freedom group ends Saudi trip early after rabbi ordered to remove his kippah

A U.S. Congress-mandated group cut short a fact-finding mission to Saudi Arabia after officials in the kingdom ordered a Jewish rabbi to remove his kippah in public. The March 5 incident highlights the religious tensions still present in the wider Middle East. Rabbi Abraham Cooper of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom has sought to distance the order over his skullcap from what he described as progress made in the kingdom under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on quietly allowing different faiths to worship privately. He also said Saudi Arabia may release four Uyghur Muslims held prisoner in the kingdom for asylum in the U.S.

i asked on my other account before about general podcasts and stuff but does anyone here know any good jewish focused podcasts?
I understand the pain and heartbreak. I really do. Especially right now. Jews are hurting so much. But please find solace in the fact that we truly are not alone right now. Good people truly do still exist. We need to hold onto small pieces of light or we will lose ourselves entirely.
