revivalish:

I’ve seen Some Shit™ floating around in the pagan tags, so I just wanted to make my stance clear:

Nazis have no place in Hellenism. Nazis will never be safe or accepted in Hellenism. I will make it my business to make any Nazi who starts using our imagery or ideology feel too despised and ashamed of themselves to ever touch my religion again. We will not accept Nazis, it’s our duty to drive them out. Fuck off.

gentiles on this website: “The Old Testament God is cruel and vengeful!”
actual Jews in my synagogue yesterday: “My favorite part of the reading is when it says the Torah is not in heaven so it’s too far to reach, it’s not across the sea so we can’t get it, but that it’s in our hearts… the idea of having that be so close, of being so close to something divine, that thrills me.”
“And here, where it says ‘the Lord will delight in you as he did in your fathers’, that’s such a beautiful thing. You know, God is this all-powering being, and God delights in us.”

gentiles on this website: “You can’t be an atheist and religious!”
actual Jews in my synagogue yesterday: “I’m just not buying any of this. I was born during the Holocaust and I could never wrap my mind around this omnipotent all-seeing God, and usually I’m a little moved by this, I try to be hopeful, but when I look around the world now, I just don’t buy it! If I really believed there was a God, I would resent him.” [still wears a prayer shawl and attends synagogue regularly]

gentiles on this website: “Religious people never question what they’re told, they just followed blindly!”
my actual rabbi: “Sometimes the Torah can be like an older relative whom we love dearly, and who has a lot of wisdom to give, but who also says things that cause us pain, that we find offensive or wrong. And I think the wrong instinct would be to pretend we don’t hear what they’re saying, or to cut them out entirely, or to be guided by them into thinking and behaving in offensive ways. What we need to do is engage the Torah. We need to wrestle with it, and try to understand it, to figure out where it’s coming from and learn how we can progress from it, because the Torah is not unchanging. It belongs in each of our hearts, and it changes for us as we study it, as each generation challenges its old assumptions.”

After a childhood of Evangelical Christianity, the Judaism my friends shared with me is quite literally what healed my soul enough that I reconsidered and eventually stopped saying the gentile statements listed above. I’m not Jewish, I don’t plan to convert, but I am forever grateful.

He who shall not be named Pancake Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 3 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¾ cup Milk
  • 2 tbsp Vinegar
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
    extract

Directions

  1. Combine milk and vinegar and set aside to sour.
  2. Measure out flour and sift into a bowl using a fine mesh strainer. Add sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt and combine.
  3. Put butter in the microwave until partially melted, about 10 seconds. Carefully stir butter until completely melted.
  4. Lightly beat the egg. Then, add melted butter and vanilla and beat until combined.
  5. Pour soured milk into a separate bowl big enough to hold all of your ingredients. Add egg mixture and combine.
  6. Add dry mix to wet mix, evenly covering the surface area of the wet mix. Using a rubber spatula, fold the wet and dry ingredients together to combine. Do not overmix; fold just until there are no more spots of dry mix. Your batter should be lumpy. Refrigerate batter for 10 minutes to rest.
  7. Over medium heat, coat a pan with butter or nonstick spray and spoon pancakes into the center to desired size. Return batter to the fridge to keep it cold. Cook until the edges turn golden brown and begin to lift, about 3-4 minutes, flip and cook the other side. Cook 1 pancake at a time.

this last part is extra shit you can add to it to make it taste even better
