Toddler milestone today: I was carrying them to the bedroom for their nap, and one of them pointed at the mezuzah and said: "shin!" So I showed them how to kiss it

Do you know how fucking terrible a human has to be to make me root for that sack of shit Ben Shapiro? Pretty terrible.
" #Conservative commentator #CandaceOwens sharply criticized #BenShapiro in a recent #podcast episode, responding to his remarks at #TurningPointUSA’s #AmericaFest conference where he condemned her for spreading #conspiracytheories.
#Owens, in profane language, dismissed #Shapiro and referenced historical #antisemitic #tropes, including claims about the #Talmud and #Jewish involvement in the Atlantic #slavetrade. She held up a copy of “Der Talmudjude” (“The Talmud #Jew”), an 1871 book by #AugustRohling, a 19th-century #Catholic #priest whose work has been widely discredited as relying on mistranslations, selective quotations and fabrications to portray #Judaism as hostile toward non- #Jews."

" #Antisemitic voices are “no longer on the fringes” of #American culture that #students are exposed to, said panelist Daniel Joslyn-Siemiatkoski at a session discussing a new #book, #Judeophobia and the New Testament: Texts and Contexts (Eerdmans, out now), in which 35 #authors devote chapters to each of the 27 #books of the New Testament plus four extra-canonical texts.
“It’s designed for #teaching, to unpack some of the assumptions about #antisemitism and the locations of students in these issues,” says Joslyn-Siemiatkoski, director of the Center for Christian- #Jewish Learning at Boston College. His own book, Resisting Anti- #Judaism: Practices of Christian Solidarity will be released by Fortress in October 2026.
“These issues are not hypothetical, says Eric Vanden Eykel, associate professor of #religion at Ferrum College and one of three editors of Judeophobia and the New Testament."

"From the days of #Miriam, the sister of #Moses and #Aaron, #Jewish #women have been leaders-without-portfolio. In the #Book of #Exodus, Miriam, a “ #prophetess,” leads the #Israelite women in song, but unlike Moses, the main recipient of teaching from God, and Aaron, the chief priest, she has no named role.
Today, women in many denominations of #Judaism are able to attend institutions of higher learning to become equipped with the necessary skills to gain credentials to be called #rabbi or #cantor. What will they do with their newfound titles? A crop of new #books and #TV shows out this fall gives some answers."

If you want to help with hunger but don't want to support any local christian organizations who are also likely working toward stripping you of your rights to religious freedom, there are alternatives.
You can give to your local Federation, which usually has a fund to help with food and emergencies.
Find your nearest Federation Office: https://www.jewishfederations.org/federation-finder
Or you can give to Mazon.
