A suggestion: Every screencap of hate speech or threats on this (or any) platform should include any ads that are nearby -- and the advertiser should be tagged. If enough people do this, the advertisers, not the platform, may feel called to answer for what they are funding.
Do you manage? Come work with me!
My team's current manager has an increased scope, so we're looking to hire a new manager for the Adobe Doc Cloud Data Team. It's a great team; we're working on cool projects; and we take data ethics very seriously.

The Deller family lived in Fischach, and Naftali and Zili Deller commissioned this remarkable sukkah, which was used as well by their son and daughter-in-law, Abraham Deller and his wife Sofie, until it was smuggled out of Germany to Jerusalem in 1937.

Our sukkah is 8' square.
In German, the word /Schach/ means the game of chess.
Next year, bli neder, I'm gonna rig up a projector and we're gonna play up on the roof.
Just walked home from shul carrying my arba minim to confuse the Satan.
Oh, no, actually, I walked home from shul carrying my arba minim because today was pickup for pre-orders.

Since I was davening at home this year, I decided to use my German machzor.
The piyutim in the selichot for Minchah were.... disturbing. (And TIL that Minhag Ashkenaz has selichot for all five services on YK.)

Belief has zero marginal cost while ritual observance does. This is one reason Christianity went viral and Judaism remained small. Christianity is like Software, Judaism like Hardware.
On Rosh haShanah I read @TheRaDR's excellent new book "On Repentance and Repair". It helped me gain a new insight into a pair of texts that I expected to come up in her text, but didn't. Thus, this short dvar for the Ten Days.
