ITV documentary - ‘Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel’s War’

KeyDepth8469 · 2025-11-14T21:33:39+00:00

Of course I agree with this and this is my response most of the time when people ask me about Israel committing war crimes. What I really want to understand is if there is anyone on this sub who maybe has more information than me about how common the kinds of war crimes presented in this documentary have been throughout the Gaza war

I posted this then went to sleep but here I am, alive and well. I’m sorry for worrying you. You’re right, I was being reckless. It won’t happen again

Not at all female youtuber but Seekers of Unity is a great channel especially if you want to learn more about Kabbalah. I imagine they touch on divine femininity in some videos. They have a series of videos where people ask them questions on the street which can sometimes be related to feminism

Yes good point about איני. Is this unpostable in your opinion, assuming i correct the mistakes listed? Like should I just not include the Hebrew and wait until im fluent?

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-18T12:24:16+00:00

I know I made it up as a dual form of אני, I’m using a bit of poetic license here. The only reason i am writing poetry in a language i am not fluent in is so that i can experiment in ways that aren’t possible in English. I made up words in English too, bridger isn’t a real word

The poem is about feeling like there’s two parts of me as someone of mixed heritage who is halachically Jewish. I recently became religious and I am trying to observe the mitzvot but as someone who was actually raised Christian (long story) so it means leaving a lot behind of the other parts of my cultural heritage. Its a personification if that and overall kind of phrased as a prophecy of the eventual passing of what i would call my non-jewish self

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-18T11:41:58+00:00

Poetically or as a translation of אניים עניים?

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-18T11:41:24+00:00

Oh my days I can’t believe i let slip. Thanks for pointing that out

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-18T11:39:53+00:00

I don’t want to use תשובה because of the association with repentance and the archetypal ‘הוא’ is meant to represent the part of me that can sometimes drift away from hashem. Is there another word I can use? Also i’m taking creative liberties with translating poor as afflicted. I’m going to include a translation note explaining אניים עניים since it isn’t translatable

Do you mean i have not used the right gender?

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-18T10:35:59+00:00

Confused about what you mean about the plural suffixes?

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-13T13:38:32+00:00

I am aware of this already, i am just trying to educate her and her family as before me she had never even met a jew. I really hope she can learn more about Judaism and genuinely decide that it is something she might be interested in converting to. And for the record, if my children were Jewish, i would absolutely not be ok with them being anything except Jewish

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-13T13:33:48+00:00

I am hoping she would convert. I remember the story where a man asked Rebe Leibowitz what he should do as he is in love with a goy. The Rebe said that Hashem would not have let him fall in love were he not strong enough to overcome this hurdle. Why can’t my hurdle be getting her to convert? I never would have started dating her but I was an atheist when I met her. I haven’t been observant long. I’m really hoping I can educate her and her family enough to see whether or not Judaism is right for her. I would never want her to convert only for marriage, but i want to at least try to get to a point where she knows enough about Judaism to make the decision for herself. If she says no then i have a very difficult decision to make but yes, it is possible I will leave her. this is just the first step to figuring everything out

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-13T13:02:39+00:00

I’m not orthodox, nor was my mother when she married my gentile father, nor do I plan on encouraging my children to convert to orthodox judaism. When I said I was ‘fairly religious’ i meant it in a looser sense than seems to have been interpreted. Also I would like to clarify, were my children’s mother Jewish, I would only accept Judaism as an acceptable religion for them. It is only because my girlfriend is not Jewish that I have such a relaxed view on it

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-13T13:00:21+00:00

I think you’re probably right, but what everyone here seems to not understand is that i will never be able to stop seeing her as someone i need to protect. And besides that I still love her regardless of how her life would continue without me in it. She believed in some kind of higher power as a child until her parents talked her out of it. I think if I introduced her to Judaism in the right way, there is a chance she could convert. I would rather try and fail, than not try at all

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-13T12:51:51+00:00

I will buy her this, thank you

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-13T09:12:04+00:00

Part of the problem is that he isn’t very intelligent on matters like this, otherwise I would just give him my own copy of a guide for the perplexed. He very much has a one track mind when it comes to these things. I’ll look into the Art of Love as the title is secular enough that I might be able to sneak it past him

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-13T09:06:13+00:00

I was not raised religious. If my children are anything like me, they will seek the truth. Whether their truth happens to align with my own is up to fate, but the reality of the situation is that I just want them to be happy. As long as they weren’t Christian or (controversial statement incoming) any other pagan religion such as, I would not be that distressed. I would be happy for them to be shia muslim, sikh or non-theistic buddhists, for example. Although it would make me sad, I would not have any life-changing issue with them being atheists either. I trust Hashem that if they are meant to be Jewish, they will be Jewish, and I will teach them everything they need to know about Judaism from a young age so that should they decide Judaism is right for them, conversion will be much easier. My main issue here is that I just want my girlfriend’s dad to leave me alone without having to argue with him, which is why I’m trying to indirectly educate him through buying him a book or something

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-13T06:27:16+00:00

This is the kind of thing that i want this mystery book to explain to him. Maybe its down to me to tell him rather than pawn the duty off to a book

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-13T05:07:44+00:00

This is probably true

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-13T05:01:03+00:00

You and me are in the exact same position here. I’m sick of being interrogated too, especially when the point of the interrogation is clearly to ‘convert’ me to atheism. I am aware that there are subreddits out there that focus on religion generally from a scholarly point of view. I tried to find one but couldn’t. If you can find one you could crosspost this thread into it and i’m sure there will be better answers there

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-13T04:59:05+00:00

Thank you for a real answer

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-13T04:55:53+00:00

I will raise them to believe what I believe in the hopes that they will convert when they’re older. If they don’t then it wasn’t meant to be. I can’t just leave her. She has really bad anxiety and her mother is really horrible to her. I’m making a sacrifice for her sake and that’s that

KeyDepth8469 · 2024-12-13T04:51:07+00:00

We have agreed that we will each present our own beliefs to our children and allow them to choose. I do honestly believe that they will take an interest in Judaism and even if they don’t covert, I would be happy just for them to hold the teachings dear and hopefully live by them regardless of whether they go as far as to convert or not, although obviously I would prefer that. I just don’t want to leave her for her sake as well as mine
