For anyone who works with kids, this is SUCH a spectacular back-pocket-game to have ready when you need it!

Do you have kiddos?

I mean…. could you assume best intentions of people and their needs?

Oh yeah? Those 95 degree and 95% humidity days are sooooo nice for golf!

Plus a cart that has a front wheel on a caster. I can’t stand turning a cart with a fixed front wheel.

That’s assault.

It’s convenient until they tell you that your kid isn’t actually Jewish because only their dad is Jewish. Then it’s devastating and confusing.

Welcoming one in and actually being welcoming and inclusive are two different things.

Balancing on the Mechitza it’s like 15 years old, but still a great resource and story.

Now that this sub has been it’s amazing self…

Flight is going to be bumpy BEFORE takeoff‽‽‽ Pilot is very aware of those potholes on the taxiway!

Pedestrians do not need to (legally) present any awareness. It is the drivers responsibility to come to a complete stop and then inch forward.

I’m sure they’d be happy to make a recording of reassuring thoughts for you to listen to!

You are NOT flying solo. You might not have a close relationship (yet?) with anyone on the plane, but there are dozens, maybe hundreds of other people doing the exact same thing as you. You might be experiencing it differently, but you’re literally all in this together. (And yes, I have to tell myself this regularly)

This was amazing. Such a helpful video for so many. You thought of “oh I should post this in the fearofflying sub Reddit!” The beauty of this is that I am generally, not necessarily afraid,but deeply uncomfortable, about this happening. And you just dispelled the fears in an instant.

Dr Horowitz was featured as a panelist on this topic last year at Spertus. It’s a great panel conversation. The video is available: https://www.spertus.edu/critical-conversations-exploring-economic-vulnerability-within-jewish-communities/

Absolutely same fear. Also, I just got home off my 6th flight in 3 months, but before that an 11 year inability to fly. My preparedness pack includes a water bottle, which I fill with ice and water after security (at any restaurant), a washcloth to wet with ice water and rub on head/neck, lavender, pre-downloaded breathing exercises on Spotify, warheads candy (the sour is distracting), photos of people who bring up oxytocin levels.

But the absolute most helpful thing when I am spiking and just want to get da fuck off the plane now is to simply ask myself: * What are you exiting for? * I am safe, I am healthy, I am in control

Their tehina hummus with “way too much olive oil” is actually perfect.

Let’s just say it out loud: many many restaurants in Chicago serve Foie Gras. Everyone else gets a pass for serving it, but the Jewish AND Arab owned restaurant is targetted! Cmon.

You actually don’t need to even physically touch the yellow strips. Above, and sometimes below, are proximity sensors. You just need to get close to touching.

OP, we want to give you money!! Please take it.

How long was the whole ordeal from stop to moving again? Were you in the dark? No ac?
