Thank You To OP I Really Needed This…

A bunch of aesthetic blogs are starting to follow me :/

I was also there.

It was just so amazing and refreshing to see especially when I’m used to seeing primarily not-Jewish things being celebrated and shown in public all the time.

This was such a full scale celebration, more so as in jewbilation (ba-dum tsss!)

Anyway, this will be forever one of the greatest moments ever!

Today, my school's Chabad held a Jewish joy/pride festival right in the middle of campus. They set up a bunch of booths with Jewish activities. There was a booth for braiding challah, making bracelets with our Hebrew names, various Jewish pride stencils to spray paint Chabad shirts. There were tables to pick up shabbat candle kits or wrap teffilin. Jewish music played loudly (but without disturbing nearby classes of course) and people were dancing along to songs like Am Yisrael Chai, I'm a Jew and I'm Proud, Very Narrow Bridge, and other blatantly Jewish songs.

Most of my friends and I couldn't stop smiling. This spot in campus where just last year people were shouting for the destruction of our homeland and our families and us, after nearly a year of being shamed for our Jewish pride and being told we shouldn't be proud, and so much time spent on a campus filled with hate, we were bringing joy back to campus.

I feel like most of my latest posts have been fairly negative. It's hard not to write my heavy heart onto the screen, especially after the murder of Hersh and the other hostages, and just everything going on overall. But this festival reminded me of how much power Jewish joy holds.

If you're feeling upset about the war, I'm with you. Few days go by without tears shed or pain felt. But remember that being Jewish is infinitely more than antisemitism and loss. Being Jewish is joy, and it is pride. We are our ancestors' wildest dreams, we are all miracles, and we cannot forget this for a single moment.

Be joyful in a world filled with sorrow, and bring light with you wherever you go.

Hee hee yes I am! :3

Writers who can draw too

Those motherf*ckers

You don't have the faintest idea how lucky you are

You're awesome, keep it up

You know I have an irrational fear of accidentally sending something to the wrong persons than the person you initially wanted to send it to and then you have to awkwardly explain that it was intended for someone else, but by the time you actually explain it’s too late for the both of you and the sendee just thinks you’re weird as a result

As someone heading to the film industry, I can relate.

very tired of planning my career around whether america will be safe for jews in five years actually

Ooh! This is giving me an art idea!

Attention artists drawing Chanukah art! (Because I've seen wayyy too many incorrect depictions)

-The Shamash (the ninth candle, usually in the center or off to the side of a Chanukiyah (Chanukah menorah)) is used to light the other candles. It is lit first, and is the helper candle. It's not part of the lineup.

-The flames are lit from left to right, starting with the candle/oil well representing the current night. For example:

If this is the first night: _ _ _ _ _ _ _🕯️

And this is the third night: _ _ _ _ _ 🕯️🕯️🕯️

You would start by lighting the candle to the leftmost on the third night, and then move gradually to the right.

-The flames are supposed to be kept burning until they burn out. You don't reuse candles from the night before under ideal conditions (ideal being able to afford candles, etc).

-You can't use the candles on the Chanukiyah lineup to light other candles. That's what the Shamash candle is for. You're not supposed to use the Chanukiyah flames for anything.

Something about magical girls in general make everything more interesting!

Listen, listen...I just love the magical girl genre, okay? I love magical girls from both Japanese media and Western media. They're all so cool!!!
