What kind of cheese do we eat on Pesach (Passover)?

Matza-rella!

Have a happy end to your Pesach everyone!

חג פסח שמח!!!

didyoumeanxianity:

If you are a Christian that wants to host a Passover seder this year:

1) Don’t. It’s appropriative and gross.

2) Still don’t.

3) Jesus never participated in the type of seder that Jews have today. He lived (if he existed as described in your Christian holy books) during the Second Temple Era of Judaism, when worship was Temple-focused and ritual sacrifice was a key facet of the holiday. The modern seder takes most of its traditions from rabbinic Judaism, which was not the Judaism of Jesus.

4) Don’t do it. Don’t. No, there is no good reason for you to do it.

5) Given the Christian antisemitic violence traditionally inflicted on the Jews during this time of year (the lead up to Easter), it is EXTRA awful for Christians to try and appropriate our traditions related to Passover.

6) Don’t. Pesach is our holiday, and our religion is a semi-closed practice. Don’t appropriate our stuff. Don’t make our stuff about Jesus.

7) There are no exceptions to the rule that Christians should not host Passover seders.

Hope this helps.

It’s that time of year again, folks!

Dear Goyim,

Do not host “seders.” Just don’t. If you’re invited to a Jewish one, I hope you enjoy it, but non-Jews should not host seders.

Xoxo,

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. 

HAPPY PASSOVER TO EVERYONE WHO CELEBRATE!!!!✡️

annualpesach frog plague discourse has gotta be one of my favourite traditions

i’m team “it was one REALLY big frog”

So there’s something important you all need to know.

I really, really, love the Really Big Frog theory.  It makes me so happy.

And this is how I celebrate:

You’re welcome.

My youngest is also a big fan of Big Frog ™ and has this suggestion to add to the discourse:

Passover Plates.

Clay is my Art

I attended an absolutely fantastic queer zoom seder yesterday afternoon, run by some friends of mine a couple states north of me.  It was so good getting to share the last bit of Passover with other queer and trans Jews.

Telling the story of the exodus, Passover 2021:

The Israelites fled Egypt and got to the Red Sea but a boat was blocking the canal so they were stuck in Egypt. the End.

Imagine how fucking balls to the wall amazing a Hobbit Seder would be. It’s all the things Hobbits love. You sit around a table for an excessively long meal, you make your seat extra comfortable, you tell lots of stories and sing songs telling those stories, and you eat and drink so, so much.

And you just know 18% of the time, Gandalf is standing there when you open the door for Elijah.

Someone just linked me to this fic on AO3:

An addition to the saga of weird Elijah things during seders.

Transcript: a series of texts including a photo of a baby deer with spots peeking through a sliding glass door. A message follows saying “deer at the Seder”. The other person responds “Elijah?” In all caps.

Happy Passover y'all!

i’m jewish and two of my closest friends are a muslim woman and a christian woman, and today we decided that this weekend would be a more opportune time of year than the month of december to say “happy holidays” since it’s good friday and easter sunday, passover, and ramadan all happening on one weekend, rather than like. hanukkah, christmas, kwanzaa, new year’s, etc. happening roughly over the course of 4-6 weeks. so. happy holidays to anyone celebrating this weekend :)
