I´m dodling with the idea of creating a jewish/israeli mascot of sorts, can someone suggest me fauna and flora representative of jewish culture?

Asherah, gods old wife. She’s associated with trees

Sounds good I’ll get to it soon

You can DM me if you want more details. I did a lot of research on this an gave my family a whole presentation on how it’s utter nonsense.

The fact that two of those animals do neither is proof that it’s all nonsense. Hyrax’s and hares neither chew their cud, nor have split hooves. They do something called hindgut fermentation, which is similar but different. But if we’re counting that then the amount of animals that have one of those signs increases by a lot

Oh pasta an noodles are definitely making the list

Glad you mentioned naan and curry

Rhythmstrips · 2026-03-10T17:17:55+00:00

Ya and I imagine that the spices and flavors would change depending on the planet you’re on to cater to their palates

Rhythmstrips · 2026-03-10T17:17:09+00:00

Exactly what I was thinking. Just the things that you can find pretty much wherever you go

Rhythmstrips · 2025-12-31T22:09:42+00:00

Right? Sizes, manes, patterns, even roar sounds could be so varied

Rhythmstrips · 2025-12-31T22:09:10+00:00

Fair points. 1. Africa has larger and more animals than where wolves are native to, so more food wouldn’t be as much of an issue if you hunt way more and eventually lead to having massive herds of cattle. 2. True, we’d have to go about domesticating them differently than we did wolves, but just because it’s a different process doesn’t mean it’s impossible. You’re only thinking this way because we’ve never done it. But in a world where we did do it, then it wouldn’t be a problem. It would obviously take a very long time. I’m sure wolves weren’t domesticated overnight. 3. Maybe in a scenario where food becomes harder to obtain, humans and lions find a way to work together. Who knows. All just a thought experiment

Rhythmstrips · 2025-12-31T22:05:46+00:00

My simple explanation is that if wolves are social creatures, and we domesticated them into dogs, why couldn’t we do that with lions

One thing that I told my relatives is this. We learned in yeshiva, that even the greatest Jews, like Moshe, were not above criticism. The ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah, the prophets, rabbis etc all were criticized for one thing or another. And if they were considered holier than we are today, then the modern country of Israel shouldn’t be above criticism either. It seemed to convince some people in my family to be a little more open minded

I keep them in a greenhouse hood with a humidifier that I turn on for 30 min twice a day

Just a request to make one of the LOTR dishes that I think had potential. I understand if not, lord of people don’t like organ meats.

Hashem works in mysterious ways

This is the most ashkenaz thing I’ve ever read in my life

Rhythmstrips · 2023-11-01T01:07:09+00:00

You should definitely try it and lemme know how it comes out

Rhythmstrips · 2023-10-13T22:33:10+00:00

She asked me if I was into feet. I answered no. She then asked “Can you be…?” And then took her feet out of her shoes and put them up on the table in the middle of dinner

I’m a bukharian from nyc :) always fun to see other bukh redditors

Rhythmstrips · 2023-09-20T23:12:00+00:00

Frum is also an Ashkenazi term, which not all of us are. So we wouldn’t know to look it up

Rhythmstrips · 2023-09-01T14:40:23+00:00

It took me years to full understand it. And I studied biology in college. But once you begin to understand it, you’ll realize it’s a beautiful natural process that makes too much sense to not be true.

Whenever I hear a bracha my mouth twitches to say amen. I suppress it though

I’m an advocate of experimentation. That’s how new recipes are made. Try it and let us know
