I’m finally trying to build thoughtful Jewish practice, without treating it like another exam to cram for. You can call me Aaron. 🏳️‍🌈 and of course ✡️ he/him

Hi there! I’m a writer who was raised with tons of New York & Ashkenazi cultural Judaism—and none of the religion. Now I have my own little family and I’m trying to learn our tradition, without treating it like just another homework exercise. Follow along!

Remember last week when it was OK on Jwitter to have complicated feelings?

A predictable — if despicable — stmt from some small-ish portion of Harvard’s student body being taken on Twitter as a sign that the future leaders of the world all support the butchery of Jews is an example of what I mean when I say US social media doesn’t serve this moment

I believe VERY firmly US social media’s role in Israel-Palestine is to traumatize, divide and misinform in a way that’s unrelated to realities on the ground. That’s why you haven’t seen me weighing in the last few days… But these fucking Hamas bastards!! I can’t not say that

This isn’t a useful tweet. It isn’t nice or dignified. It doesn’t center on the people who are suffering or build solidarity. It doesn’t acknowledge the horror of what’s come before or will come now, and I don’t much care about any of that right now.

It's that time of the year again! Do you have your asparagus and lemon yet?

Honestly I had trouble connecting with #YomKippur this year. 5783 was totally filled with setbacks that I (mostly) confronted maturity, bootstrapping, kindness, growth, joy, study, exercise and making better community—and THEN I tackled my longstanding pathological fear / guilt

But a thing I struggled with was finding pieces of the liturgy to connect with. I’m wondering if anyone else has ever felt this (I bet yes?) and what you plugged into to feel a little less guilty, a little more grateful, a little more seen?

Tl;dr what’s some Yom Kippur liturgy that spoke to you when you felt like you had a year of growth?

Your daily reminder that @adidas was founded by *committed* Nazis and this CEO has covered up their history even as he praises this modern day you-know-who lover #adidasnazis

I think the least we can do is make their affiliation go viral until they stop praising Nazis as good people and profiting from antisemitism

This is the first year I’m cutting down on coffee before YK, meaning I’m finally getting to the punchline of a multi-year prank you all played on me. I just actually feel tired and cranky *all week*? Well played. You should see my face!

“Man, I really miss engaging on this account, maybe I should check to see if Jwitter is surviving the decline of this place better than I thought” The most wonderful vibey vibe ever:

So here’s a thing I don’t recommend: Trying a hot sauce that your hot sauce head friend described as intolerable when you also happen not to be able to eat bread because of Passover 😬 🥵

Does anyone else feel like everyone’s arguing about the least consequential stuff at the moment? The financial system is teetering and everyone is acting like the existential drama of the moment is… Mandel and Chait?
