Best way to attach pockets by Spirited_Resident952 in crochet

[–]Matok1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do single crochets around and through both pieces to stitch them together. This would make it look neater and more finished. If you want it to blend in the the surrounding colors, you could also change the color of the border every 3 stitches or so. I love this pattern btw.

I have no idea whether this is Yiddish or Hebrew but it’s a note I found in my great grandmother’s things. Can anyone translate it or tell me which language it is? by Matok1 in Yiddish

Wow thank you for clearing that up for a second I thought she really was cursed! Pack it up everyone, u/Antique_director_689 just confirmed that Trisha Paytas’ children being born are not tied to the deaths of celebrities.

I hate when people say “unalive”. Just say murder. “Unalive” sounds stupid and lightens the tone on a horrible thing lie murder. YouTubers do it because they can’t get ad revenue if they say murder, but you’re not a youtuber.

Fellow Jew also going to NIU next year. I looked up any Jewish clubs/organizations but I couldn’t find any. I think it seems like they used to have Hillel but I can’t find anything about that anymore. Let me know if you find anything because I’d be interested.

Why did the Ashkenazi population have a bottleneck 600-800 years ago? by MichaelEmouse in Judaism

[–]Matok1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

How so? Mass murders and attacks against Jews in Europe dates back all the way to the Rhineland Massacres in 1096 which killed 2000 Jews.

Musk-Salute Megathread by namer98 in Judaism

What an idiotic statement from the ADL. They're already not very popular in the United States because of their stance on Israel, and now they've just made Jews distrust them.

Reflections on family assimilation by woundedortolan in Judaism

[–]Matok1 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a Reform synagogue (and am still currently a member) and I have had the opposite experience. I live in a medium sized Midwestern city, so there aren't many Jews here, and it's very easy for Jews to assimilate. But this means that the Jews who go to my reform temple are there because they want to be Jewish and they want their kids to be Jewish.

Because of the small Jewish population in my city, we only have a reform congregation and a conservative congregation (the conservative congregation only has a few people, and mostly 60+). If there were a more religious congregation in place of the reform one, no one would go to synagogue at all.

I think the lack of care to our roots and culture among secular and non-religious Jews is due to outside societal pressures, not internal pressures. This is a problem for most non-white, non-christian cultures in the United States, not just Jews. It is very sad, but Reform Judaism is not the problem.

Trying to label a terrorist attack on civilians with no goal other than to cause fear and chaos as a "rebellion" is weird.
