ISRAEL

I put it in all caps so you know I mean business.

I really doubt, based on my sporadic posting history, that anyone reads this blog any longer.  And if you do, chances are high that you are also a Jewish woman and in that case I am preaching to the (Jewish) choir. 

I'm angry. 

I'm sad.

I'm scared.

But mostly, angry. 

I'm a redhead with a redhead temper. 

I'm angry at all the people I'm friends with on facebook from college who are APALLED at the loss of Palestinian lives but couldn't give a d-mn about dead Jewish children. I'm angry that they decided to shout "from the river to the sea" like genocide is just fine as long as it's Jews were killing

Not only do these lily white goyim not have any skin in the game, so to speak, but I'm quite sure Hamas would be almost as happy to see them dead. 
Idiots.

Yes, I'm angry.
I'm angry that Jews are "white" when it suits your political agenda for us to be so like the Holocaust wasn't less than 100 years ago.  

I want to call them up and say: You may not believe it but Jews cannot be COLONIZING  Israel.  We ARE the native population. Moschiach cannot come soon enough.  
Those dead Palestinians you care so much about are being murdered by Hamas.  The resources Israel has been sending them have been coopted by HAMAS, a terrorist organization, which you seem to be unable to condemn. 
Not Israel.  Jews are not the ones oppressing Palestinians. That is HAMAS.  

In a way I'm glad that all this antisemitism  in the supposed enlightened West has been exposed. It reminds me that we can only really trust in HaShem and not supposed enlightened democracies. 


And just one more question for all my old "friends".  If we do what you want and give Israel over to Hamas, which, let me remind you, their stated goal is to wipe out all Jews, where do you propose we go?  Because we will not be dying for your convenience. 

AM YISRAEL CHAI

The Jewish people live. 

Well, there you go, Isha Yiras HaShem, I told you I could offend more people on the internet.

The ramblings of a neshama

It’s my (English calendar) birthday and I’m taking a look at how I got here.  I never, in a million years, would have predicted becoming frum.  My whole life I strongly identified as Jewish. Which was problematic. I have one Jewish parent and it’s the “wrong” one.  I was living my life, if not happily, semi-successfully. I worked as a rowing coach and coxswain, with intermittent teaching jobs- I’ll maybe write more about my sports background at some point- and dated various guys. At 26 (I think… maybe 25) there was a shooting at the Tree Of Life Synagogue in my home town of Pittsburgh. I had been very mildly Jewish until then . But suddenly, it felt like no one in my life understood me. I walked into a Conservative shul, seeking a community who instinctively understood what was probably an epigenetic fight or flight reflex. (It’s fight. This is me. It’s always fight). Let me be clear about one thing. I’ve always even drawn to the beauty in Judaism. While my family was so ...

How I Accidentally Gave Out Themed Mishlach Manos

 Hello again lovely readers. (All, from what I can tell, two of you.) My husband is at a kollel party, my baby has passed out on my lap after taking an hour-long bath, the panic of knowing I have nothing planned for my toddler students tomorrow hasn't hit me yet, and the second trimester heartburn is only moderate.  The perfect time for my Purim debrief.  One of the many things that came as a total surprise to me and my aforementioned lack of any domestic skills or inclination whatsoever, was the concept of themed Shalach Manos.  I should be clear that while shalach manos were definitely "done" in my old neighborhood and frequently quite tasty, themes were not a thing.  My inner detetective suspects this is because many people were students and while there were families with kids, the majority were childless.  What's the point of a theme if you don't have a family in themed costumes?  BH" I have a family.  We do not dress in themed costumes. ...

What is sleep even?

 I think someone gave my toddler sixteen cups of coffee.  If it was you… I’m not mad, I just want to talk.  Seriously, this child has been up since 1am screaming. We did diaper change. I tried to feed her. I’ve tried to snuggle her and put her back to sleep. Nothing works  When I tell people I have trouble with sleeping they tend to assume one of two things  1: I never sleep trained  And  2: I’m not strict enough Because I have a toddler sitting on me and several nights (weeks?) of poor sleep under my belt, im going to debunk those myths right now  1: I sleep trained . Not as early as I would’ve liked but… my husband read the APA (or whomever- one of those medical organizations) recommendations that children should sleep in the parents room until at least six months, preferably one year and got a bassinet that attached to the bed. I would’ve preferred her in her own room as soon as she didn’t need multiple feedings through the night (I had an unde...
