Beloved is man for he was created in the image of God. Still greater was God’s love in that He gave to man the knowledge of his having been so created. - Pirke Avot 3:18

im not crying you are crying!

The golem is too small - but the children who make him, who hand him to their baby siblings to hold who have shaped him with small hands - they make a friend. From the very first children of exile, little ones yearning for their home - they wished for a friend - these small babies - toddlers with halting steps and little tiny children. And so he is shaped to them - to be held.

From all soils but home, he is reshaped - small hands and prayers and hopes - little wishes along with them - from Shiraz to London to Aksum to those that remain in Yerushaláyim - children add buttons, beads, colours and love - the warmth of small hands no matter what happens.

The Golem wishes he was large, that he could protect them - but he can be with them, all the children who are lost to an endless ancient hate - a hand to hold at the end, perhaps a shield from pain.

He lives in a bright place - filled with paints, with colour and toys and he will protect it always and always - though he is very small, he can protect this place now, this little haven and the little ones who pass through the doors.

gonna need this later lol

How To Braid A Round Challah

Step 1 and 2: Roll four balls of equally sized dough into long thin strips. I roll a strip like this by holding my hands chest height and rolling the ball between my hands to form a uniform strip.

Step 3: Arrange strips according to photo

Step 4: Working clockwise, cross A over B, C over D, E over F and G over H

Step 5: Now working in the opposite direction, cross B over G, H over E, F over C (Whoops, I made a mistake in my braiding, F should be over C) and D over A

Step 6: Now working clockwise once again, cross G over D, A over F, C over H and E over B. If you have more dough left to braid, repeat step 5.

Step 7: Pinch the ends together and bring up the four sets of ends to the center of the challah. Pinch those together. Yes, really!

Step 8: And now for the magic, flip your whole loaf over and ta da! A perfectly braided round loaf, yippee!

Step 9: Let the loaves rise, but watch them so they don’t over rise and ruin your beautiful work! Brush with egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake

gender and religion...

tell me about the ways your religious or spiritual identity is connected to your gender!! do you have seperate religious and secular genders? is your gender represented through scripture? do you share a gender with an important figure in your spiritual tradition? feel free to share! :D

TRUE someone finally said it! please save us from secular binary gender 🙏
