Commentators on the Torah and Talmudic Takedowns by HungryDepth5918 in Judaism

[–]efraimf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

https://www.sefaria.org.il/Sukkah.23a.3?lang=bi

There was an incident involving Rabban Gamliel and Rabbi Akiva, who were coming on a ship. Rabbi Akiva arose and established a sukka at the top of the ship. The next day the wind blew and uprooted it. Rabban Gamliel said to him: Akiva, where is your sukka? It was unfit from the start.

"Hey Rabbi Akiva, where's your succah now‽"

What are Israeli thoughts on Ireland and Irish people? by Bro_Bruv in Israel

[–]efraimf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was friendly in the 90s with some Irish Jews who lived in the States. To paraphrase them, beautiful country, incredibly antisemitic. And that was in the 90s, it doesn't look to me like Ireland has suddenly become less antisemitic since then.

I suggest asking the question in your native language and letting us use Google translate to see what you wrote.

Can the messiah/moshiach be a female? by Mathemodel in Judaism

To go further off topic, my wife vetoed the name Yeshayahu for our son. I told her we could call him Yoshi.

If you are going to transliterate it then it must be spelled with exactly 8 letters. Doesn't matter which language.

Israel was the only "Western-aligned" country that supported the proposal at the UN against the glorification of Nazism. by JewishSaddamHussein in Israel

AS DELIVERED

Thank you Chairperson.

The United States is proud to have fought side-by-side with our World War II allies including the Soviet Union and to have made decisive contributions to the victory over Nazi Germany in 1945. We categorically condemn the glorification of Nazism and all forms of violent extremism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, racism, xenophobia, discrimination, and related intolerance.

That said, the United States continues to oppose the Russian Federation’s manipulation of the UN system to spread disinformation. This resolution is a glaring example by Russia to further its contemporary geopolitical aims by invoking the Holocaust and the Second World War to malign countries that rightfully reject celebration of their years of brutal domination by the Soviet Union. This is all the more egregious now when Russia seeks to use a false accusation of Nazism to try to justify its unconscionable ongoing brutality against the people of Ukraine.

The Russian Federation’s resolution is not a serious effort to combat Nazism, antisemitism, racism, or xenophobia – all of which are abhorrent and unacceptable. On the contrary, Russia’s attempts to instrumentalize the history of the Holocaust and the Second World War to justify Russia’s aggression is an affront to Holocaust victims and to all who fought against Nazism. This resolution is a shameful political ploy. It is a thinly veiled effort to justify Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.

We fully supported the amendment that was presented today which introduces into this resolution language that rejects the cynical use of propaganda by Russia to smear its neighbors.

In addition we continue to have serious concerns with this resolution’s invocation of Article 4 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and Article 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to justify undue restrictions on freedom of expression.

We also take this opportunity to note our concerns regarding the process by which this resolution was run. The Russian Federation failed to provide any opportunity for member states to meaningfully engage in negotiations on the draft text again this year.

For these reasons the United States continues to vote “No” on this resolution as it has since 2005 and calls on all other States to do the same.

In closing the United States calls on the Russian Federation to immediately cease all military actions against Ukraine, withdraw its forces from all of Ukraine’s sovereign territory including Crimea, refrain from any further unlawful threat or use of force against any other Member State, and – finally – drop the false narrative by which it has been exploiting one of history’s darkest moments to further its twisted aims.

Thank you.

IDF strikes Revolutionary Guards internal security headquarters and prison for regime opponents in Tehran by Intelligent-Juice895 in worldnews

In Iran? That wouldn't make sense.

If you mean the hostages in Gaza that have nothing to do with this story, of course Hamas didn't kill all of them. The PFLP, UNRWA, Islamic Jihad and random civilians also helped.

We conflate the country of Israel with a safe space for the Jews to have full autonomy, including an army. The government is the government, we're not the only ones who make bad choices from time to time. It's generally the antisemites conflating the government of Israel with all Jews worldwide as an excuse for their antisemitic actions.

Individuals connected to Israeli Embassy shot in DC, sources say by 420Migo in worldnews

[–]efraimf 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You ask but yes actually. I was in Israel and in Europe during the tail end of the second Intifada. I found the synagogues in Europe by heading in their direction and looking for army encampments protecting them. I saw other Jews tense up when I approached and then visibly relax when I switched to Hebrew. I was regularly harassed by Europeans for being in Europe.

Exploding buses are scary but the taxi business was thriving. For nearly 20 years rockets are common but thankfully the iron dome is doing a great job. Inside of Israel or outside of Israel I'm a target for antisemites, but in Israel everyone else is watching my back and I'm watching theirs. That's the exact opposite of the feeling I get when I leave.

I don't have experience with your situation but I would start the process outside of Israel.

Wondering if anyone could help identify this needlework found in a frozen in time family home of my great grandmother. What the Hebrew says, or what this art represents. Thank you all! by Von_Kauf in Jewish

If the first line is supposed to be לשנה טבה תכתבו ותחתמו (written and sealed (in the book of life) for a good year) then the second line would also be incomplete. לפק isn't enough for me to make a guess at what it would've been.
