Sadly, this year will be the first in thousands of years where the majority of Jews around the world will not be able to celebrate with the community en masse. The Shanghai Shivers have seen to that, in fact in Israel three weeks of lockdown, as long as the High Holidays—New Year (Rosh HaShana) continuing to the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) and Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) terminating with the Rejoicing for the Torah/Eighth Day (Simchat Torah/Shemini Atzeret) will make the disturbing circumstances especially noticeable. So, this year we Jews won’t have the typical feasts and feasting and Jewish families won’t assemble around festive tables dipping apple in honey to ensure a good and sweet year in the normal manner and circumstances as we do every year all over the globe.

This is the the year that Jews of the Holy Land won’t blow Shofar’s horn and they won’t hear the Kol Nidrei releasing them from sins past and forthcoming. Same for many Jews in other countries. During the Inquisition and Holocaust, Jews were allowed, or did so secretly, to observe the commandments, but not this year, or at least it will be very difficult and different. It may the largest amount of Jews not at the synagogue for Yom Kippur in recorded Jewish history.

Sad.

Try to make it sweet all the same, as much as possible brothers and sisters.

Bump for my tribesmen

Lmao how cucked you guys are.



Living is Israel must be hell.

Actually, we are not cucked because we don’t forgive or forget the Holocaust. That pause for remembrance on Yom HaShoah is a reminder for us.

I’ll bump this a couple more times before candle lighting here in LA

Not my scene, but happy new year!

Thanks brah!

Bump

shana tova brother


friend of mine told me that the Rebbe z'l said years ago that the theme for last year would be wrath and the theme for this year that we are ushering in will be redemption.

my angus is schechted and peppered.

Shana Tovah brother

Wrath and redemption...damn...now that is biblical

yea it could be bullchit. people putting these fake quotes attributed to gedolim on social media all the time, but it sure does sound nice. and we could def use a little redemption.

hope you're having a good holiday. i went to my parents' and had dinner with them, my two uncles and one aunt.

cholent for yomtov lunch tomorrow! do not miss shul even a little.

Lol yeah internet and quotes are a problematic couple, but, all the same I feel like that really is an interesting dichotomy—wrath and redemption. It will be interesting to see how this year plays out and what HaShem has in store for us lol

The holiday is pretty good considering circumstances. With the In-laws today and we will be with my parents tomorrow night. Mmmmmmmmmmm that warm cholent will hit the spot lol

on spread brother. enjoy your holiday. this year has to be better than last one. now that i think about it, the last 3 months of 2019 were pretty chitty too.
