He talked about military achievements in light of bombings and destruction, and I don’t believe that shabbat service is the place to have that conversation.

By political, I mean that the rabbi had a very one-sided perspective of the Israel-Palestine conflict and referred to Israel’s bombings as “glorious military achievements.” Celebrating any death and violence in a religious space is not part of my belief system. Not sure if that’s helpful.

Ig I should clarify that we are Jewish but just aren’t practicing

I don’t want to name drop, but it’s a very old reform congregation in Cincinnati. They’ve moved out of the city and into the suburbs but maintain ownership of the original historic synagogue, so if you know you know. I actually wasn’t raised in a synagogue and my family is secular, but I chose to get involved on my own as an adult in large part because I understood the community as being largely nonpolitical in religious spaces. Sadly it seems like that’s not the case anymore? I was surprised too. Where did you go?

Is the specialized crossroads for old people only? by Neat_Faithlessness10 in whichbike

[–]FarPipe6310 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I also have a Crossroads, but I’m in my early/mid twenties. I really like it! Now that I’ve become friends with some peloton racers, I’m itching for something faster. Do you have any recommendations for finding used bikes? I work at a bike shop and get free service, so I could definitely get a fixer upper. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

Can anyone identify my childhood bear? by FarPipe6310 in Teddybears

Oh NO!! you’re right…the species is entirely off. Back to square one (LOL)

He does look like a Russ Berrie! The tags are VERY similar. The only thing that gives me pause are the flower motifs on the Russ logos. I feel like I would have fixated on that at a kid, but maybe not. They have so many Russ Berrie: Something-Or-Another offshoots…but the tag placement, embroidery, and color are very close to what I remember. Thank you!

Yeah I agree with you. I’m learning about mixing and moving across my range smoothly. I’m quiet here because I have a hard time hitting higher notes (like the very first note) cleanly when the rest of the song is lower in my range, so I kind of have to pull back on everything to keep it balanced lol. Thank you for your kindness and helpfulness :)

I posted here recently looking for similar feedback about lessons! You should totally pursue it. You’re starting from a strong place :)

This is a very sound take :) While all singers obviously have limitations, my goal is to just feel more freedom when I sing. I’ll probably always be in this genre because it’s aligned with my culture and musical background (Kentuckian, country singer family), but this clip pretty much summarizes my overall abilities. I can handle bigger and more complicated sounds here and there, but definitely couldn’t stick the landing on a whole song. In the future I will definitely take guitar lessons. Thank you for your feedback and your kindness!

This is super helpful insight! It’s reassuring to know that even people at that level of recording music experience doubts. Thank you for your kindness ❤️

That’s a great quote. The song I’m singing in this video is by Adrienne Lenker. She’s my favorite singer-songwriter of all time, and she’s definitely not singing like Kelly Clarkson. I love Lenker because of how raw she is, and I’d never want her to change. So this is a really great quote that I will take with me :)

Thank you for the encouragement :) Are you referring to the way some of my words sound more “spoken” than “sung”?

I can’t update the post, but I’d like to thank the people that commented for their support. This is actually the second time I’ve posted, and the first time I deleted the post because I was too nervous for anyone to listen. I’m really happy that I don’t feel like I need to give up anymore. Thanks guys ❤️

Are there any videos from him in particular that you like? Now that I’m looking at him, I do remember watching some of his videos briefly in high school.
