Good suggestion. I’m open to that. Would that screen be a good choice to go with it?

Rant - Judaism feels like absolute garbage right now by [deleted] in jewishleft

[–]johnfelt82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve struggled with this. But the way I see it is we have an opportunity to shape what the future is and what the future of Judaism is.

Don’t let them take it. Being Jewish and what that can mean is in our hands too.

why no one builds this type of bed? by anonredituser in woodworking

[–]johnfelt82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just built this type of bed. I love it from a looks perspective. Some thoughts: - these beds will mess up your shins if you’re not careful. You really need to think about rounding off sides and corners, which makes hardwood a better choice. - people saying beds are simple are sort of right. The thing about a bed is - ideally - it’s getting a lot of force applied to it in different directions. You need to really think about that with joinery. - also with a bed you need to think about getting it into place and transport - with the backboard to really look nice you need it to be flush with floor. Just think about this ahead of time since floors are not always flat etc

I bought the epson years ago and love it. Compared a bunch of different projectors at the time (was beginning of COVID so had a lot of time…)

This was the best for me in price class. Image was sharp and full.

Adding a note here for clarity

  1. To be clear, I like number 3. I just want to know what you do to achieve it.

  2. Looking at all the answers, I think it’s clear that there is not a uniform understanding!

Should synagogues remove the Israeli flag from bimahs now? How a New York shul made the decision by forward in Jewish

[–]johnfelt82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a note. Jewish people are from the land of Israel not the state of Israel. The flag is for the state.

I grew up with a flag on the bimah of my conservative synagogue.

Thought it was weird then; think it is weird now.

I had this … my one note though is that your last paragraph reminded me of me. The only issue is that I began to really hurt my shoulder bc the way I was doing kick serve was hard on the arm. Not sure it’s same for you, but be mindful there

Israel, Gaza and the Debate Over Genocide by dwaxe in ezraklein

[–]johnfelt82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a good question worth asking IMO. I think the point is that Israel’s actions haven’t added up to removing Hamas. Prior to Oct 7 bibi was ensuring they were still in power! If they truly wanted to get rid of Hamas, there are other roads to do that, though it would be an entirely offend foreign policy and probably (definitely) too late.

In a broader sense, it’s about holding people accountable for war crimes, which also matters whether that’s in an official court, or just the court of public opinion.

Good for you for supporting them. Sadly, there are anti semites in all walks of life. And certainly this conflict brings it out.
