The satire article making fun of JVP this image is from is a little too snarky for me to post but it's too funny as it is 😆

For those in my TL who followed a discussion in which a Usenet era (c. 1989-91) document introducing modern Hermetic (as distinct from Jewish) Kabbalah in relatively accessible terms was discussed: unfortunately, the source found in that thread turns out to be incomplete. Fortunately, a further search revealed that the author set the text as an illustrated PDF and offered it as a free book in 2001. So here is a direct link to that PDF for Colin Low's Notes On Kabbalah.

"When it comes to #queer kid’s #books, though, I’m always happy for an opportunity to buy and read more of these essential stories. When those stories are #Jewish? Even better."

We usually get #kosher cheesecakes and blintzes brought in from another country for #Shavuot. A mysterious and foreign land called Broo-k-lyn.

"I’m not sure I’ve ever met a #cheesecake I didn’t like. The JC archives are literally stuffed with every sort of recipe you can think of, from traditional bakes with pastry crust, through thick NY style bakes, Middle Eastern knafeh, on-trend Basque and quick and easy no-bake versions and a handful of vegan versions so everyone can celebrate.

Here are a few of my favourites..."

"We can go where we want to. The night is young and so am I, and we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet and surprise 'em with a victory cry.

I say, we can act if we want to. If we don't nobody will, and you can act real rude, and totally removed, and I can act like an imbecile."

-Immanuel Kant

I have a scab on my elbow because I … leaned too hard or long on it, and my skin just decided to give up in that spot?

Middle aged bodies are weird and fragile in more ways than I expected.

"The #protesters carried a banner that said “It is right to rebel, #Hillel go to hell,” with an inverted red triangle on it, which has come to signify support for #Hamas on social media because the terror group uses the symbol in videos of its attacks. The student demonstrators repeatedly formed inverted triangles with their hands, flashing the symbol at the counter-protesters. Another protester brandished a banner that had a #swastika inside a Star of David while shouting: “#Synagogue of Satan.”

The pro- #Palestinian, anti- #Israel demonstrators chanted “From #CUNY to #Gaza, globalize the #intifada,” and “Hillel, Hillel, what do you say? How many kids did you kill today?”

Bernie Sanders’ taste in people has been questionable, at best.

This is not just “criticism of Israel.” Neither has any of the other hateful things she’s been saying for months. It could only have been better if they’d fired her faster.

Solidarity With 'Bad Jews': An Interview with Emily Tamkin

Mainstream establishment Jewish organizations are to the right of American Jews more generally. And there has always been a gap between mainstream American Jewish organizations and American Jews. There’s a process I describe early on in the book, where Jews were trying to figure out who they were in terms of race and ethnicity and assimilation and acculturation. But institutional Jewish leadership at this time knew exactly what they wanted to be. They wanted to be white, because they understood that whiteness in this country came with rights and privileges and they were not going to have that taken away just so people could feel different and special. So you have American Jewish leaders arguing before Congress that American Jews were white and needed to be treated as such.
