There is a lot to be said about the murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan, but I just can't find enough words.
There is no justification for this horrible tragedy. Absolutely none. This is a man who left his home to go spread light in a new place, and was murdered for it.
His murder is unjustifiable.
This murder turned his legacy into something painful, something to be angry about. The name of a person whose whole mission was to spread light and joy now evokes pain. It's unfair, another thing stolen.
Do not let his murderers take and twist his legacy.
Go out of your way to do a mitzvah in his memory. Maybe light for Shabbat this week, say a bracha over something you eat if you usually don't. Take a few minutes out of your day to read a lesson on this week's parashah. Anything.
They took his life, don't let them take his legacy.
Allergies have been very sucky lately. I hate it.
Do you have any hobbies you like sharing?
Thank you so much for asking!
I have a couple hobbies that I’d like to share!
First and foremost is my most obvious one: drawing and art. I’ve been developing my skills for around 9 years and it’s been my main tool of expression. I mostly draw people and characters and even make my own OC’s (now that I mention it I really need to post more art stuff on here)
Secondly, I love to cook! Ever since I could remember I’ve been helping out with my mom and family in the kitchen. I give full credit to my mom for this hobby because I found that mixing different ingredients and spices are more of a creative science in a way. Sure I’m not like Gordon Ramsey or anything; I’d consider myself more of a home cook
Finally, I’ve been sort of dipping my toes into writing again. There’s nothing finished just yet, but if I do make anything I’d be more than happy to post it on my blog!
That’s pretty much the main stuff I can think of.
🎉

Instead of just being in a tuxedo, Bugs is wearing a carnival mask and is holding a grogger in his hand. Next to him is a small image of a gravestone with white text on it reading "Bye Haman you loser lmao"]
Happy fourth guys!
I’m going to post some OC content eventually so here’s the heads up for people when that happens..
*sighs* Gosh, I love Tumblr!
I’ll be RIGHT here whether haters like it or not!!
Almost every single time I log on, I see another Jewish blog I follow announce that they're leaving tumblr or going on an indefinite hiatus.
Goyim are literally driving us out of every space, both online and off. It's not safe to be Jewish anywhere. I am sick of this shit. I am sick of being expected to just put up with it. I am sick of watching Jews just disappear from public life and go into hiding.
And it's terrifying because there's no way that the rabid antisemitic freaks on this site are gonna be able to contain themselves and keep it in the digital world for long. There's already random violence against Jews happening everywhere and it is *going* to lead to more pogroms sooner or later.
They're not gonna be satisfied until there is no trace of us left anywhere.

Oh, the second video brings back warm memories from my early childhood. My mom played this a lot especially whenever I was in the car with her. I even listen to it sometimes just for nostalgia and also because the song is so beautiful.
I’d like to put some more songs here, if y’all don’t mind:
First off, another song I remember from my childhood and an iconically beautiful song:
Second one was from when I went to a Jewish girls summer sleep away program and this played in the car I was at heading back to the campsite. Again, another beautiful song:
And finally, another one from the Jewish girls summer sleep away program:
