Found one in the wild again

Why do people talk about things like they know anything?

Bluesky screenshot, identifying details cropped:
"Their history with the Ethiopian Jews - and, frankly, with all non-Ashkenazi Jews - points in some very "different tiers of Jew" directions as it is. Once they've wiped out the Palestinians I fully believe they'll just continue on their progrom of white supremacy internally."

Fascists ALWAYS do.

And more seriously, this 👇 is the ending of the last piyyut in the hoshanot in the Ashkenazi rite, but the Goldschmidt machzor includes the second half of the original piyyut which Ashkenaz omits - recited in the Italian and Romaniote rites

Using the quasi-academic Goldschmidt machzor, as I did this Yom Tov, is a great way to see it. Everything is "the full piyut is recited in the Italian rite" or (if not from Eretz Yisrael) "from the early medieval Italian paytan, Shemetyah b. Pazalel, said to be a miracle worker in medieval Ashkenaz"

Just remembered this banger of a mistranslation

Posting this attempt at a translation of some lines from Yosel Cutler because I kinda liked it, even though it was nowhere close to literal, only conveyed a misunderstanding of the metaphor used:

“The sun, that fierce bath house attendant, smacked a fiery oak branch over the shoulders of New York”
