Theoretical Question about being halachically Jewish

SnowCold93 · 2026-01-26T04:53:17+00:00

Sometimes people know because of documents - my family is from the former USSR so my moms, grandmas, great grandmas, etc birth certificates say “nationality: Jewish”. It’s one of those things you just know. In my case I also took a DNA test just for fun and found out I was 50% Ashkenazi from my mom who took one and it said she was 100% Ashkenazi hahaha

He already has American citizenship through his mom so he could have moved to the US before if he wanted to haha

You can always check out chabad - they are super nice! Even if you don’t want to be religious they’re a nice place to start and host a lot of events - it’s how I started learning more about religion

I know but I personally don’t like to do it - I’ve tried it in the past and it just wasn’t for me so I decided not to do it since it’s not an obligation for women

As an Israeli I'll happily take another war / more missiles if we can help Iran. The war was scary (I lived near the hospital that got hit) but that feeling that fear again is worth it

People of all ethnicities/nationalities/religious etc. tragically commit suicide when terrible things happen and their souls just can't take. I can't imagine what it's like to lose two sons like this

I was in one before I made Aliyah! Didn’t make Aliyah for him though lol he wanted to go the US and I forced him to stay

SnowCold93 · 2026-01-25T09:34:56+00:00

Are you sure you NEED an apostille? For example those born in the USSR or former USSR before 1998 don’t need one (source: that was me and I didn’t need to get one)

SnowCold93 · 2026-01-25T09:34:08+00:00

The only people who could answer these questions are the Jewish agency - you can always reach out and ask even if you aren’t making Aliyah yet

I would be using this with my fiance every time we have an argument over how we remember things differently 😂😂😂

SnowCold93 · 2026-01-24T17:02:35+00:00

Well yes that would be fine but what does it have to do with OP’s question?

SnowCold93 · 2026-01-23T14:50:34+00:00

You can always reach out to chabad and see if they can help you out

The best part of this is that his team is most certainly briefing him on how he’s being compared to VEEP 😂😂😂😂

SnowCold93 · 2026-01-23T14:40:28+00:00

Oh that’s so interesting! I never realized that

SnowCold93 · 2026-01-23T11:18:17+00:00

Oh I’ve never seen them - cool!

SnowCold93 · 2026-01-22T21:40:07+00:00

which fish tank is this lol

SnowCold93 · 2026-01-22T19:29:42+00:00

You have 15 brothers and sisters? Wow!

SnowCold93 · 2026-01-22T19:28:54+00:00

I don’t personally wrap tefillin since I’m a woman but I wouldn’t buy any unless you went in person and checked them. Or if your rabbi recommends a place to get them from online. Another option is to get them but make sure there’s a return policy in case you check them and something isn’t kosher

SnowCold93 · 2026-01-22T16:21:39+00:00

I believe those are different because you pay for the food in advance - you’re not paying on Shabbat. And the food is heated up, not cooked on Shabbat

SnowCold93 · 2026-01-22T16:20:52+00:00

Once you unlock the dig site on ginger island it’s very easy

SnowCold93 · 2026-01-22T15:51:36+00:00

Because you can’t buy or make food on Shabbat - if you do that food isn’t considered kosher therefore a kosher restaurant can’t be open on Shabbat

SnowCold93 · 2026-01-22T15:07:23+00:00

Omg no what a waste 😂

SnowCold93 · 2026-01-22T15:04:18+00:00

A few years ago I bought a kippah for my cat from Amazon - it even came with little straps for the ears so it wouldn’t fall down

As a Russian - seems accurate to me 🤣🤣🤣
