JIMENA convened a coalition of 14 leading Sephardic and Mizrahi Jewish organizations to challenge New York Magazine’s Habibi City feature and its exclusionary framing of Middle Eastern, North African, and SWANA identity.
“We are not asking to be tolerated as exceptions to an ideological rule. We are asking to be recognized as what we are: peoples of the region.”

What could you learn about yourself by answering one question a day—and reading your answers again a year later?
For the 10 days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, you’ll receive one question each day. Answer privately, save your responses in the 10Q vault and, one year later, they’ll return to your inbox.
Serious, silly, searching—it’s entirely up to you. Next year, the process begins again, giving you an annual snapshot of who you were and a chance to see what has changed.
10Q runs September 11-21, 2026.

Excerpt: While Dolly Parton’s musical roots are in country and gospel, by the mid-1970s, with her career at a standstill, she was ready to reach a larger audience. Two Brooklyn-born Jewish men played essential roles in helping Parton make the leap from Nashville to mainstream pop stardom. Parton gives full credit to Sandy Gallin, one of the most successful talent agents from the 1970s through the 1990s, for helping her to achieve “crossover” success in music and to expand into TV, movies and even a theme park.

From Harif:
The ‘Arab world’ is a misnomer for a region comprising a rich mosaic of non-Arab and non-Muslim peoples, sects and religions, many of whom predate the Arab conquest and Islam in the Middle East.However, Middle Eastern minorities have suffered a decline due to conflict and persecution. Many have been forced to flee. Demands for autonomy and self-determination have been frustrated.
What is the future for Middle Eastern minorities? To discuss this pressing question, Middle East specialist Jonathan Spyer will chair a distinguished 90-minute panel comprising Kurdish spokesman Veysi Dag, Juliana Taimoorazy, representing Assyrian Christians, and Yusri Khaizran from the Druze community.

i already knew that the theory Ashkenazi Jews descend from the Khazar kingdom that converted to Judaism is bunk (they descend from Jews who lived in what's now Italy, who themselves descended from the middle east).
what i didn't know is that the story of a kingdom converting to Judaism may itself be bunk.The Jewish Empire That May Never Have Existed

@2legged Rabbi David Yosef is #evil incarnate. He is a truly vile excrescence on the #human race, & should be utterly condemned by all decent #people. It is absolutely essential, for the sake of #Judaism, that all other #Jewish #religious #leaders denounce him. If they fail to do so, their condemn their own #religion.

Symbolism
How important is it??
Until recently I did not thing too much about Symbolism. My only reference to this was the symbols my father and his Religion told me were evil, then the Mark of the Beast was a big thing with the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Then after the Epstein files I saw that, perhaps, just perhaps this symbolism thing is very important. Started checking on what symbols the Epstein people are using. The REAL Satanists. That was interesting indeed. By some chance this research led back to my other research, the Scots and further back, the Pics. Now they tell me the Pics have THE oldest Rock Carvings in the world, by bloody far, make out Bushman Rock Art look almost brand new! And. In there I found a few symbols used by the Christian Church.
Then, today I see on the big screen in the NG Church, a logo that interested me no end. I even went to the Sound Engineer lady and asked who made that logo!??? Head Office in Pretoria. I took a shot of the big screen and the logo.
This is a version of the Celtic Knotted Tree, modified only slightly. Ja. And. If you click on the church link, you will see the design of their official logo. Don’t tell me yo cannot see the Knotted Tree’s basic design.
Well, that is my quick look at this, I am sure I will come back to it.
Big Five Wars is my main mission for now and they also get updated regularly.

Shabbat Shalom Friends 🕯️🕯️
This marks the 51st Shabbat in a row that I have had the privilege of sharing your beautiful photos and messages in response to my weekly Shabbat greeting. Fifty one weeks. Which means next Friday will be one full year, and it will also be the last Shabbat Shalom montage.
I want to sit with that for a moment before I say anything else.
This tradition started on Facebook, and it grew so quietly beautiful that I began sharing it everywhere I am. Not because it needed a bigger audience, but because something this simple deserves to be seen.
What began as a simple post has become one of the most meaningful things I do. Week after week you brought light into this space. Candles on your tables. Family gathered close. Quiet corners of your homes on a Friday evening. Some of you have been here since the very first one, and some of you joined along the way, and every single image made this what it became.

“#Jewishjoy.” The phrase has become nearly ubiquitous across the #Jewish communal landscape in recent years. #Hillels, federations, #dayschools, camps and communal organizations regularly invite us to “celebrate Joyful #Judaism,” “amplify Jewish joy,” “spread joyful Judaism” or “be centered around Jewish joy.” It’s easy to understand why. In a post- #Oct7 world marked by heightened #antisemitism, grief, fatigue, polarization and anxiety, joy is a needed corrective to the trauma and pain that, for many, are part of the Jewish experience. Joy reminds us that Judaism is also song, food, friends, dancing and delight.
As a concept and as an experience, Jewish joy is valuable. However, in too many instances, Jewish joy has become both the dominant goal and tool through which we build Jewish life. This unintentionally narrows what Judaism is, who it is for and what counts as meaningful Jewish participation. Alone, Jewish joy isn’t enough.
Here’s why."
