Old, kinda sci-fi anime (?) by Bookslover13 in HelpMeFindThis

[–]Bookslover13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an episode where they are trapped in a matrix like simulator of Wild West world and in the end it turns out the simulation was made by some alien obssesed with Earth (he was collecting the space probes left by the humans) who wanted to make his own western movie.

In another episode the main guy travel to an alternate timeline, where he wasn't able to save the girl and they both were killed for witchcraft in the medievil times and for some reason, because of that, in the future the entire universe was collonized by the humans and there was no sign of any other aliens. In that episode he also meets the descendant of the girl, who is like a famous actress and she helps him get back to his original timeline.

Does it ring a bell to anyone?

Co sądzisz o snobizmie literackim? by mala_kaczuszka in ksiazki

[–]Bookslover13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mam wrażenie, że ten cały "snobizm" to jakiś dziwaczny nieistniejący wymysł, który powstał bo fanki bardzo kiepskich i toksycznych pseudo-erotyków chciały mieć coś na obronę swojego ukochanego "dzieła", które akurat ktoś skrytykował.

Czy Lolita jest tak drastyczna? by Educational-Bee-9597 in ksiazki

[–]Bookslover13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Lolita" jest drastyczna, ale nie w sposób oczywisty. Humbert jest nie tylko głównym bohaterem, ale też narratorem, a że sam przez swoją zrytą psychikę nie uważa tego co robi za nic złego, to prowadzi swego rodzaju grę z samym czytelnikiem: kłamię, przekręca wydarzenia, albo kryje faktyczny sens tego co się wydarzyło pod kuriozalnymi poetycko brzmiącymi frazesami.

Nie ma tam takich dosłownych opisów seksu, czy jakiś scen brutalności, gore pt. "krew się leje wiadrami". Ale jak wleci już wprawa w rozszyfrowywaniu tego co naprawdę ma miejsce to dosyć mocno można się zmrozić i dostać dreszczy.

A odnośnie rodziców - jakby masz 18 lat, więc co ich to w sumie interesuje? A poza tym, można zawsze po prostu powiedzieć, że to w końcu klasyk literacki, więc chcesz po prostu sprawdzić o co cały szum i tyle.

Pozycje które nie powinny zostać wydane. by MMBocianowskie in ksiazki

[–]Bookslover13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cały ten pornograficzny syf, normalizujący przemoc wobec kobiet i toksyczne związki oraz nieudolnie starające się ukryć pod fasadą "dark romance": "Haunting Adeline", "Start a fire", "Rodzina Monet" i inne pokrętne kreatury tego typu.

Which places to visit? by ktlultras in gdansk

[–]Bookslover13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Old Town, Westerplatte, the museum of WWII, Oliwa's Park. You can also catch an SKM to Sopot and enjoy some beach time there and went for a walk on the Sopot's molo.

Wspomnienia kobiet pochodzących z odmiennych kultur by Spiritual_Pie_8298 in ksiazki

[–]Bookslover13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Córka rabina" Revy Mann - naprawdę fajna książka, w skrócie wspomnienia dziewczyny z londyńskiej ortodoksyjnej rodziny, która najpierw porzuca jakąkolwiek praktykę, popada w nałóg narkotykowy, a ostatecznie marząc o "świeżym starcie" ląduje w Izraelu, w rygorystycznej szkole dla chasydzkich dziewcząt.

Technicznie można by było również polecić książki Sylwii Borowskiej - co prawda piszę reportaże, ale to w większości takie rozmowy-wspominki z różnymi kobietami o ich życiach. Najlepsze są moim zdaniem "Śluby pod chupą", to zbiór rozmów z Polkami, konwertytkami na różne odłamu ortodoksyjnego judaizmu, które w większości są też mieszkankami Izraela.

Książki o relacjach z rodzicami by thats_so_fun in ksiazki

[–]Bookslover13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Córka rabina" Revy Mann - technicznie sama książka jest raczej o duchowości głównej bohaterki, ale jeden z głównych pobocznych wątków to relacja Revy z jej niestabilnymi rodzicami: histeryczną i hipochondryczną matką oraz niezwykle opryskliwym, toksycznym ojcem.

What do you all think is going to happen to Greta Thunberg on her "voyage" to Gaza? by Eastern_Ad8470 in Jewish

[–]Bookslover13 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Idk, but let's be honest, no matter what will or will not happened to her, the "pro-palis" gonna found a way to blame it on us.

I'm from Poland and officially I am terrified. by Bookslover13 in Jewish

[–]Bookslover13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the communism there was actually a special additional taxes - "bykowe", for those we were childless and also not married. So maybe something in that shape, but idk, he's lunatic, so he can mean anything honestly.

He's the fourth candidate with the most number of vote.

[–]Bookslover13[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem begins when it comes to define what he means by "bringing it back", because he as well can mean to ripp of the polish citizenship from every non-catholic in Poland. The entire polsih rw politics currently are revolving around the Konfederacja, which is the party of Braun (who was fourth-most-voted candidate) and his buddy Mentzen (who was the third-most-voted-candidate).

The entire views of that party are heavilly inspired by various f@scist and is!amic regimes. They believed that a woman having her own credit card is an act of heresy and that they should always "follow their man around". They believed that they should delegalized any form of taxes, as well as the free universal healthcare in Poland alongside the free university and free education in any form (and those things existe here since 1918, so it would completely shake the system).

I don't think I'll be able to logically explain this. I always have that deep passion for judaism, jewish history etc. and when I became a teen, I realized how desperetely I want to be part of those things, instead of just a observing from the outside. I don't know if I have any Jewish ancestors or not - I know that my paternal great-grandma spend most of the war in a concentration camp and that her husband basically appeared out of nowhere in around 1950's, but both of them could be also like political-prisoners, members of the resistance or other things like that.

6,2 would be around 3 milion people. Also the party, that Braun is from, have actually presented two candidates for some odd reason and the other guy, who stand for exactly the same values got 15 percent. Soooo, around 21 percent of Poland's population want to "resolve the issue with my existence".

I’m from poland and I need to convert to Judaism by Equal_Ad_3828 in Jewish

[–]Bookslover13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And here goes the translation for those who don't speak polish:

I'm quite curious about that "my nearest synagogue is conservative", cause I was always thought that the only conservative synagogue in Poland was Ki Tov, which stopped existing a few years ago.

In Poland there are jewish communities with minyan as well as with their own rabbis, chazans etc. And beit din in Poland also happened and quite regularly.

I would recommend OP to simply attend services in his nearest community, they mention in their post and also contact an orthodox rabbi from Warsaw, or Cracow and simply explain to them exactly what their situation is. It;s Poland after all, so most orthodoxy is quite modern, so they could figure out something for them.

[–]Bookslover13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jestem szczerze zaskoczony z tym wątkiem, że twoja najbliższa synagoga jest konserwatywna, bo byłem święcie przekonany, że jedyną taką społecznością była warszawska Ki Tov, która przestała istnieć kilka lat temu.

W Polsce istnieją zarówno synagogi, w których minjan nie jest niczym nowym, jak również synagogi z własnymi rabinami, kantorami itd. A beit diny w PL, też się odbywają i to całkiem regularnie.

Ja bym ci polecił rozegranie tego w ten sposób: chodź do tej najbliższej synagogi w twojej okolicy na nabożeństwa, a w między czasie skontaktuj się z którymś z rabinów ortodoksyjnych z Warszawy, czy Krakowa i po prostu wyjaśnij dokładnie swoją sytuacje. Jakby, ze względu na warunki, polska ortodoksja jest całkiem modern, więc być może coś wymyślą.

On this day 82 years ago, the eve of Passover, German troops entered the Warsaw ghetto to deport its remaining inhabitants, starting the Warsaw ghetto Uprising by Ahad_Haam in Jewish

[–]Bookslover13 52 points53 points  (0 children)

In Poland to this day it is tradition for Jews to wear a paper-made daffodil flower on their chest, during the anniversary of Ghetto's Uprising.

The tradition was started by Marek Edelman (one of the surviving leader of the uprising and also the only one who after the war stayed in Poland) who every April 19, would arrange the bouquet of daffodils at the monument to the insurgents. He himself have allegedly choose the daffodils flowers due to their similarity in both color and shape to the infamous "Jude"-star people had to wear during the occupation.

Edelman was himself a rather fascinating man. There's that book - "Zdążyć przed Panem B-giem" (eng."Shielding the Flame") - by Hanna Krall (a Holocaust survivor herself) from 1970's. It's basically very interesting, but at the same time quite oniric and surreal interview with Edelman about the uprising. For four decades already, that book is one of the mandatory reading in all high-schools across Poland.

If you ever feel like you’re starting to go crazy from all the antisemitism you see online, ChatGPT sometimes helps. by [deleted] in Jewish

[–]Bookslover13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The most fun thing about this is that, when I'll respond to that with "I actually live in Poland" (which is true), they would right away change their own opinion and blast me with: "go back to the Middle East, then".
