How the world turned upside down – and what was once considered “mainstream” suddenly became a bold rebellion
Wine, Ritual, and the Eternal Struggle Between โBlessed Are Youโ and โWho Spilled the Wine on the Tablecloth?โ
Islam is both a religion and a political-legal ideology. Not all Muslims are violent, not all Islam is violent – but at the textual and historical core of Islam there is a sovereign aspiration, not just a spiritual one.
Religion doesn’t disappear – it wanders.
It seeks out places where people still want to know why they get up in the morning.
Next time someone rolls their eyes and asks, โWhatโs the deal with not touching?โ, the honest answer is simple: itโs not fear of sex. Itโs a deep suspicion that really good things, without limits, tend to end badly.
A post with a dash of humor and a dash of sadness about the astonishing gap between two words that are not really similar, but for some reason are labeled as “the same thing”:
There are big holidays, there are important holidays, and there is Hanukkah – the holiday that reinvents itself every generation: once a national heroic story, then a miracle of oil, then a children’s holiday, then a 15-shekel donut holiday.
Mezuzah, yes, mezuzah. Youโd be surprised how much depth there is in this little box that sticks to the door frame and looks like itโs holding a secret.
Sheโs not just any object. Sheโs a psychologist, a gatekeeper, an Mossad agent, and a spiritual GPS device – all in a box the size of a permanent marker.
We are a people who survived 3,000 years, rose from the ashes of great empires, built a progressive state in the heart of the Middle East – and then willingly choose to spend seven days in a makeshift tent in a parking lot. If that isnโt proof of Jewish tenacity, I donโt know what is.
Two small boxes, lots of black leather, knots, wraps, a constant mantra, and your morning is no longer just a morning – it started with meaning.
What Are They Trying to Sell Us in the Name of โThe Protestโ
