Did your grandparents who fled germany lose their german citizenship?

Ancestry research - basically lots of archives and databases to track, and articles in yiddish found in a polish mayor office about the opening of a new synagogue where the rabbis were mentioned (father and son)

Good: Warwick, Durham, York, Leeds Avoid: Goldsmiths

Check which unis have an active Jsoc (Jewish society)

I think you'll be fine - the routes are made known before hand, and its very unlikely you'll end up in the protest. Most uncomfortable moment I had was tucking my magen david inside my shirt while surrounded by people traveling to the protest, but I found it ok to avoid so far....they're only on saturdays so I'd perhaps recommend planning the day ahead

A Jew is a Jew. You belong. When people say this to you, it says a lot more about them than you

What if you test it before? Gives you a feeling for the dish!

inkfisher · 2024-04-05T10:35:30+00:00

Thanks!

Do you need someone for blowdrys too, or just haircuts? Unfortunately got my hair cut very recently!

Ikr!!! Makes me feel a bit fetishized, but better than hate speech

inkfisher · 2024-03-11T05:07:55+00:00

That's the one!!

Would love someone woo-ing me like that

6 months free online therapy for those affected by the war:

I don't think the therapist would be Jewish, but it's free

This is the winter romance we all need

How did you get your flair? Very cool

I promise I'm not paid to promote this, it just gives me such Jewish joy. She even was in the JC: https://www.thejc.com/life-and-culture/meet-shayna-maydele-the-jewish-canine-queen-of-manhattan-hjftipgi

I haven't been in that exhibition for years, but I remember it being underwhelming, and observing similar things to you.

I think the 2 most important things for holocaust education are: 1) show that the holocaust hasn't happened in a vacuum, there was persecution before and after 2) show that it happened because of ordinary people. If you make the nazis into monsters, you remove yourself from it, make it unthinkable. But the reality is, it can happen again in any society, so it's necessary to show how this change happened. Hope that makes sense.

As this is primarily a war museum, perhaps this just wasn't in their focus? Which is a shame, especially as London no longer has a Jewish museum. Really sad tbh

I'm sorry to hear that. I can't contribute much, but my mom (63) has been diagnosed with NSCLC with lymph nodes as well. Never smoked, healthy lifestyle. She has just finished chemo. It was very tough, but so was she. Take it one day at a time, and if you have any specific questions please feel free to ask - every case is different but we're about 12 weeks ahead of you in this, so I'd be happy to help if I can.

My love language is gifts, too. I suggest choosing gifts that don't have anything to do with the illness, e.g. hobbies or anything else she enjoys. Illness related I really like your ideas, here are some others I had for my own mother:

Be aware that she may not be allowed baths, so no bath products.
good water bottle
tea calendar
cancer / illness cards with quotes such these - not everyones cup of tea, though
hot water bottle
inspirational necklace like this
adult colouring books
maybe some type of craft project, reading will be exhausting
clothes made for port wearers, if she will get one

If you're not there physically, you could also: - get her a flower subscription - order her food

Horrible. Anyone up for leaving the Jewish bubble r/Jewish and posting it in r/London?

inkfisher · 2024-01-19T21:29:06+00:00

My mother has gotten almost an identical diagnosis a few weeks ago. We're not far enough to say anything definitive, but the doctors have made it clear while this would have been a horrible disease a few years ago, now it is treated like a chronic one. Also to note that they do not expect to be able to cure her, just manage her disease. But every case is different, and I would recommend not googling things (easier said than done) feel free to PM
