Jewish Luz Noceda headcanons

- Makes little PB and Js with matzah during Passover

- Can, has, and will decorate the sukkah with too many twinkly lights and possibly confetti

- Headcanons Azura as jewish and will fight you if you disagree

- Wears a yarmulke to synagogue because screw gender roles

- Wears Hanukkah sweaters because “Why should Christmas get all the sweaters?”

- Feel free to add!

Fun fact, by the way: Azura is a name that exists in Hebrew. In The Book of Jubilees, Azura is the name given to the wife of Shet/Seth, third son of Adam and Eve and ancestor of all humankind. Adam is also seen in Kabbalistic Judaism as being the mortal aspect of Adam Kadmon, a primordial being divided into portions whose life force is said to pervade all of creation.

And of course, I bet it drives Belos up a wall that this great opponent of his who has come to liberate the people of the Underworld is a young, neurodivergent, and highly androgynous Jewish person raised by a single mother who wields a staff to perform magic and fraternises with those cast out by society while releasing criminals sentenced to death from their bondage and inspiring the people around them to become better and wiser and more gentle. 

Also, there’s this:

Luz no ceda=Light (that) does not yield

Ein Sof Ur=Unending Light

And also the term most commonly used to refer to false/foreign gods in the Hebrew Bible is Ba’al, transliterated into Greek as Belos. Philip is also a Greek name, Phillip II of Makedon being the man whose son Alexander III the Great created the circumstances in which rose the Seleucid Empire that produced Antiochus IV Epiphanes. 

Belos forces up a statue of himself in Bonesborough, and Antiochus IV Epiphanes set up a statue of himself in the Temple of Jerusalem. 

Funny to think about how Pride started as a riot and Hanukkah started to commemorate a rebellion.
