    The Jews were not the only ones to survive, but this can represent many people's struggles and journeys. I will never understand hate not for anyone. We believe in such different Gods. We don't understand our lost history at all, we deny what is in front of us but we can not decipher. All over the world we share a word everyone seems to lay claim to but only a very few are enlightened with the irony of truth and reconciliation. Sad for us who desire knowing knowledge but it's always cloaked someone else's interpretation of what God's message is? I don't believe in an angry, spiteful, murderess, jealous God at all. ✌️

    King David’s words comfort me when he says, “While the child was alive, I fasted and wept, because I said, ‘Who knows? The L-RD may be gracious to me and let him live.’ But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.” Our loved ones will not return but rather we will catch up with them in a renewed and immortal age.

    Why not just read the bible or Tanakh everyday and be reminded of how much we need God. Also u can probably just make a bracelet or a hat with the scriptures on it if u wanted to take it that far. Saying that it’s spiritual is crazy. Imagine putting on a Christian T shirt and saying u feel closer to God 🥴

    Hi I am raised Jewish and my aunt was tested very harshly in life, she couldn't bear children, she was in the nightclub business and she had alcoholsucht. Most of our family didn't work that time and we spent month in advance planning the funeral. We tried to help her soul be guided towards heaven and we sung after her gravetocht ~ trip. We prayed even after her death. She was also a spiritual ambassador for the Dutch faith and she tried to be selfless and helping the community after turning to God. Also every other aunt or oma had the same special funeral and the ones who became faithful didn't choose to be burnt rather than be graved. I hope you find my story meaningful and touching. She sometimes speaks to me through my dreams. She found our actions very helpful.

    I have autism and a body that doesn't function as it should. I am very grateful I am able to boil water to make soup on shabbos, to not have to ask caretakers for giving me a spoon or a fork. To be able to leave the home on my own, not wait for someone to push a wheelchair. To be able to talk (a % autistic people have trouble socializing, talk like neanderthals or are even non verbal). This imperfection of my body pushes me to innovate and build things that help me do things like robots and maybe portable lifts. Outendly gratitude makes you a mensch. Being thankful is the stepping stone to serving God and the mission of creation. I am not a glitch or a failure, I am just another human being with unique traits.

    isnt "day dayenu" a plea to hashem, asking to stop the dinim, the judgements? i mean day mean stop or enough, and dayenu means "our dinim" "our judgements" or the judging of us - ofc hashem hasnt created anything for granted so even if we feel something unpleasant it is to ask ourselves why does it happen, and then the ultimate answer should always be, is that you would be in need of hashem so you dont forget, because our selfishness gets the better of us - and for that it is written "i created the evil incarnation, i created the torah as a spice" meaning we need to always be appreciative towards everything. in our senses, which is the evil incarnation( which is in our todays terms would be called "Ego" or the will to receive for myself alone) we tend to push the blame on something else or think that anything unpleasant comes towards our way is from some other plane and doesnt correspond with hashem in any way, but this is where we are mistaken for "there is none besides him" meaning theres no good or evil god, or a devil or something like that. if we shift our perspective that not everything is supposed to be based on our selfish way of understanding things - and when its tough then we must hold on to hashem and ask why, and scrutinize and realize that it is his calling, to turn from our self centered interests and get involved with loving of others "ואהבת לרעך כמוך" . meaning that we are only understanding things if we see a benefit in them, once we realize that we need to develop a new sense, such as caring for others (especially if they arent related or close to you) with that in mind you start learning of hashem and his plan for this creation, how much beauty and wisdom and appreciation on a whole another level, with dvekut to hashem...

    God said to me I was made in his image and I could do whatever I want as long as I remembered his name and spread it forth and be kind to my neighbours. And that Israel gets special care from him. So you don't have to fear, just enjoy creation and make your soul as light as God himself.
