James M Branum - יעקב מתתיהו ☮<a href="https://www.judaismunbound.com/podcast/episode-447-zvika-krieger" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.judaismunbound.com/podcast/episode-447-zvika-krieger</a>I really liked this episode of the <a href="https://c.im/tags/JudaismUnbound" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#JudaismUnbound</a> podcast for many reasons. Here are a few (sorry this will be a long ramble), along with some more general HH ( <a href="https://c.im/tags/HighHoliday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HighHoliday</a> ) thoughts:1. It was refreshing to hear Dan & <a href="https://climatejustice.social/@lexaphus" class="u-url mention">@lexaphus</a> say what I increasingly feel --- a deep disconnect with the theology of much of the traditional Jewish High Holiday liturgy. 2. I never knew about the tradition of "side reading" (bringing other things, including even novels) with one to HH services, so as to be in the room with the community during many of the services, even while one is reading something else. --- Part of me thinks that is a wonderful idea, another part of me feels uneasy about it (but I can't explain why). I'm curious if others have thoughts about or experience with this practice.3. I forgot who said this (the guest or the hosts), but someone mentioned that it was unfortunate that so many Jews only attend services at the HH's, because they are getting a really distorted view of the idea of "God" from these services, that doesn't reflect the more open conceptualizing of the divine that is more common in many liberal-leaning Jewish <a href="https://c.im/tags/Shabbat" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Shabbat</a> services. I strongly agree with this sentiment.4. I am more strongly feeling that I want to rethink the HH's, but especially Yom Kippur. I won't try reviving the famous "Yom Kippur balls" of the early Jewish anarchists, but there is a part of me that wants to find a way to express some contrariness in a semi-respectful way in how observe YK this year.5. I'm of course, thinking a lot about Israel/Palestine in the midst of all of this, the horrors of terrorism and war (especially with the one year anniversary of the Hamas attacks and the subsequent war), and the challenges of collective teshuvah (repentance) in the midst of ongoing collective tragedy. These complicated feelings are coloring much of my HH thoughts this year.6. Thanks to the remodeling of our synagogue here in <a href="https://c.im/tags/OKC" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#OKC</a>, our synagogue is have its services at Crossings-Mayfair (formerly the Mayfair Church of Christ). It is a wonderful welcoming thing for Crossings-Mayfair to do this (and is a conveniently perfect given the COC's long iconoclastic approach to church architecture --- no big crosses, stained glass windows, etc.) --- But there is another part of me that dreads being in a COC-oriented space due to my past not-so-great history in this tradition.7. My favorite HH of recent years was at the height of the COVID pandemic. We had services early under a Sukkah (erected a month early that year). I know this didn't work for many (as the attendance numbers were much lower than at normal HH services) but I wish there was a local synagogue that offered as many services as possible outdoors. I would be there every week if there were, but I would especially love it during the HH's.<a href="https://c.im/tags/YomKippur" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#YomKippur</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HighHolidays" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HighHolidays</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/RoshHashanah" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#RoshHashanah</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HumanisticJudaism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HumanisticJudaism</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/JewishAnarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#JewishAnarchism</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Mazeldon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Mazeldon</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Judaism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Judaism</a>

Rebecca Blaze :verified:Tomorrow is Rosh Hashanah, and I am currently working on my menu and doing what prep I can tonight.I generally don't do much with my religion, but the antisemitism lately has been so damn rampant, I've decided I'm just going to Jew harder.Anyway, my current plans for food are pot roast, onion noodle kugel, apple and honey challah, and homemade apple cider.Any good ideas what I can add to this? We have a decent pantry and I don't want to go shopping-- so just hit me with what you've got and I'll find something that works. <a href="https://c.im/tags/roshhashanah" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#roshhashanah</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/highholydays" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#highholydays</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/highholidays" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#highholidays</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/roshhashanahshabbat" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#roshhashanahshabbat</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/shabbat" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#shabbat</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/shabbatdinner" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#shabbatdinner</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/judaism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#judaism</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/fuckantisemites" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#fuckantisemites</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/fuckantisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#fuckantisemitism</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#cooking</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/homecooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#homecooking</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/homemade" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#homemade</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/federated" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#federated</a>
