If you're in the process of converting to Judaism here is my advice:

Worry less about arguments online and worry more about (in no particular order):

  • Following a shabbat service and learning tunes your synagogue uses frequently
  • What kind of volunteering you want to do in your local Jewish community
  • Setting up time with your rabbi(s) to talk and ask questions
  • Writing for yourself in a journal about the process
  • Tefillah

I love you(!) but just bc you lived there doesn't mean there's a substantial community. My great great grandparents lived in Minnesota I believe? Somewhere north ish. And my great grandfather specifically took the family there because there was no Jewish community within miles

Still, good to know

fair enough

  • chicago in illinois has a huge jewish community
  • minnesota in the twin cities has a decent sized jewish community
  • ohio has multiple jewish communities and used to have one of the campuses of the reform jewish rabbinical school
  • milwaukee in wisconsin has a decent sized jewish community

that's just from the top of my head and my lived experiences!

Note to self: remember to take a picture of my favorite gay comic for the start of pride

I was in a rush to catch the train so it's not the best photo, but happy pride nonetheless ✌️

I really love it when people include their pets in religious activities. Of course your bird also gets a christmas present, of course you'll get your cat her own prayer mat so she can mirror you without interrupting, sure you can do a welcoming-a-new-family-member-home ritual for your new puppy. The animal has no idea what's going on in a spiritual level, just that this is a Human Activity and they're getting included because they are very loved.

Hillel: put your right foot in Gentile: done Hillel: now take it out Gentile: ..Ok Hillel: put your other foot in, shake it all about Gentile: wait what? Hillel: what is hateful to you do not do to another Hillel: that's what it's all about
