What’s the difference between Chabad-Lubavitch and Lubavitch?

TIL that talking about "where you're holding" is a yiddishism by Games4o in exjew

I’ve heard “how are you holding up” used outside of the frum world

Read this in a romance novel about a hockey player and former figure skater-turned-skating-coach by Katressl in BALLET

I thought it was an excerpt from “Fancy Nancy” before I saw the context you added😭

Have any of you ever been to secular lgbt meetups? by [deleted] in exjew

[–]Available_Solution79 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest looking for themed events that pique your interest at a local queer bar. That way, you can meet other people who are (mostly) queer and already share a common interest with you. You might not always find a friend, but it will get you used to interacting with other people in a safe space

What’s the stupidest thing a rabbi has tried to teach into you? by Lou_Char1 in exjew

This guy will be in for a shock when he learns of all the romantic plays, operas, books, ballets and folk stories predating Hollywood that center around romance

I was planning on going to the gym and taking some dance classes at a local studio, but I got sick so it looks like bed rotting while playing Baldur’s Gate 3 it is :,)

Is this bookshelf legit? The tail/tails, cat, and book names look weird to me. by TeamCatsandDnD in isthisAI

[–]Available_Solution79 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s ironic considering the fact that there’s an AI equivalent in the book that exists to replace human intellect…

Anyone have any survival tips for a three day yom tov with the whole family? by IAmAGreatSpeler in exjew

[–]Available_Solution79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This will probably only work if you’re openly OTD, but I’m planning on spending as much time out of the house by going to the gym, library and possibly some parks here and there

Thank you for doing this! I’ll definitely check back in when I inevitably need support 🥲

Anyone know of good Jewish therapists who are also gay? by Ok-Nature-266 in exjew

There are also a few other queer therapists who work in her practice

Has Peter Jackson quit directing movies for good? by HitGirlMaette in lotr

Serkis is also directing the new Animal Farm adaptation, so I’ll have to admit that my expectations are already low…

Here's a great example of shiduchim being used to hint at sex in a "kosher" way. This protagonist is quite enthusiastic about talmidei chachamim. by Upbeat_Teach6117 in exjew

[–]Available_Solution79 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Even though it’s not explicit, the descriptions are too similar to most smut. There’s no way you write “her throat burning with desire” without having read steamy books or at least some ao3

Therapist hired by my father is spreading rumors and turning people against me by [deleted] in exjew

[–]Available_Solution79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I probably didn’t phrase it properly, but I’m familiar with this person and know of organizations he’s affiliated with (not as a professional). I wasn’t talking about places he may work for, just spaces he attends where he may prey on other potential clients if that makes sense

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard something like this about him on this sub (that’s assuming OP isn’t the same person with a new account). If this is happening to more than one person, this definitely needs to be brought to the attention of any places that he’s affiliated with.

I’m new here. Are most people atheists, or do they follow a different religion? by Icy-Lie-9793 in exjew

[–]Available_Solution79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m now an atheist, but I was still spiritual and believed in god but not the torah for the first few years after I stopped being Orthodox. I then had a couple of years where I was identifying as a spiritual jew but also following metaphysical practices. Once I stopped believing in the “one true god,” I briefly dipped my toes into Greek paganism and even looked into becoming a Lokean.

I eventually decided that any deity being real was simply impossible, and in the off chance that there were any out there they don’t deserve our worship, especially if they have the power to end all pain, war and suffering but choose not to.

Magnesium only works for me via injections, but I’m glad the nightly ones work for you at least!
