I...don't know how to react to this. Other than, of course, to say "wtaf?!?" and 🫶🏼.

Stay safe, my friend.
"Vinegar son of wine" is still my favorite, but if I had the ability to time travel back to a family I worked for who treated me antithetical to *everything* Judiasm *actually* teaches (despite them all being nepo babies who went to the best Yeshivot), I would gave used the "reed cutter" diss.
In honor of this week's parsha, a song from the deeply missed Debbie Friedman.

Shabbat shalom!

Shalom, friends,
#Halloween is a time for our darkest stories. Gather ‘round the phone screen and I’ll retell a classic tale of terror from the #Talmud. A cautionary tale about fear, forbidden power, and femicide.

Hard to find a better illustration of why you should ignore everything before the 'but':

del Toro literally quoting the Talmud
Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."
I love watching your sessions so much, and I'm so thrilled you circled back to this daf because it will live in my head for...well a long time!

My 4yo niece (she was 3 at the time) this past Pesach: we get the matza! WEEEE get the Matzo! WE GET THE MATZAAAAAAAA! And then we eat it with the "brick glue".
You're watching it so we don't have to? Thank you!
Hard same.

At least you have your cats.
Muppets > but...we saw some great bonding between women of different backgrounds who never would have met form an unlikely sisterhood utilizing their own particular skillset to reach a common goal. Plus the fashion was great. Plus it took place in one of my favorite spots in NYC (& Vaselka).
Ocean's 8 was a fun movie and I'll stand by that. This would be way better. Let's fuckin golem!

Shalom friends!
Inspired by the 7 minute heist of the #Louvre, here is the team of archetypical caper characters I would assemble for the Vatican basement 🕎 rescue.
Except, they’re all from the #talmud! Welcome to The Great Menorah Heist! It’s going down! (Or up?)

So we're all going to watch Ocean's 8 tonight and eat latkes instead of perogies while we take notes? Am I getting this right?

We need to take notes on the Louvre heist for the Vatican basement menorah heist. They did it in 7 minutes. It’s gematria.
I wondered how they got blood stains out of their garments, but also, possible other bodily fluids because this tractate has me 🤮 every day.

I just...I'm not a weak bitch. I'm not.

The Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret includes a prayer for rain, asking that there be rain "for blessing and not curse, for life and not death". May it inspire us towards the actions that will help our climate and environment so that this becomes a reality. Chag Sameach, happy holiday

Chag sameach from rainy NY!
As someone who used to do tarot readings...I want this deck for artistic purposes. Also, I wish I could be there for this (surprise...lol).

And if "The Fool" looks appears like this, I can only imagine the other major arcana...
