"A #Melbourne #Greek #restaurant has rejected online hate and a #bomb threat after hosting a joint #Jewish-Greek cultural evening.

On #Facebook, the owner insists it will keep bringing the communities together. Last Friday the #MediterraneanGreekTavern in #Elsternwick staged a night that mixed the two traditions.

Guests dressed in white, #challah sat beside Greek dishes, prayers were said, and a #bouzouki band played #HavaNagila alongside music from #ZorbatheGreek.

The dinner marked six months of #Shabbat Club #Australia.

[...]

Earlier nights have been held at other Melbourne spots. Friday’s larger gathering had a long waiting list.

The next day the restaurant posted warmly about the young crowd. Supportive replies came first, then a surge of abuse via #socialmedia.

Commenters called the hosts sell-outs, accused them of supporting “#genocide killers,” urged that #Jews be #deported, and one reportedly openly called for the tavern to be #bombed."

"Years ago, at a conference on combating #antisemitism, the discussion turned to how best to train the police officers assigned to guard #Jewish institutions. When my turn came, I offered something less ambitious: make sure they have coffee, a sandwich, and a smile.

The room laughed. I was not joking.

#Shammai taught that one should receive every person with a pleasant face (bsever panim yafot, Avot 1:15). He was not describing manners. He understood that the way we meet another human being decides what becomes possible between us.

My own thinking was shaped by the experience of the #Jewishcommunity in #Turkey. In November 2003, #terrorists #bombed two of #Istanbul’s #synagogues, #NeveShalom in #Galata and #BethIsrael in #Şişli.

Among the dead were members of our community gathered for #Shabbat prayers and people who happened to be passing, including #YoelKohenUlcer, and also #Turkish police officers and guards[...]

Sorry, but #Trump doesn't get to tell Jews what to do.

I say that we should not observe Shabbat on May 15-16 out of "gratitude for our great nation," (because nationalism is idolatry) but rather for very different reasons --- as a day of living into a different set of values, ones that escew nationalism and war. #Shabbat should never be used as an excuse to bow the knee to a tyrant.

Excerpt: Throughout this historic year, we rejoice in the triumph of the American spirit and rededicate ourselves to the cause of liberty and justice for all. In special honor of 250 glorious years of American independence and on the weekend of Rededicate 250 — a national jubilee of prayer, praise, and thanksgiving — Jewish Americans are encouraged to observe a national Sabbath. From sundown on May 15 to nightfall on May 16, friends, families, and communities of all backgrounds may come together in gratitude for our great Nation. This day will recognize the sacred Jewish tradition of setting aside time for rest, reflection, and gratitude to the Almighty.

To my fellow followers of #HaDerech (#TheWay) and the #Zadokite (#DeadSeaScrolls) calendar.

#Passover #Pesach will be on 2024-04-02 18:00 to 2024-04-03 06:00.

In Scriptural Calendar:
* Evening of 14th = 04-02 18:00; to
* Evening of 15th = 04-03 17:59.

Meanwhile, the Feast of #UnleavenedBread #ChagHaMatzot will be from 2024-04-03 to 2024-04-09.

In Scriptural Calendar:
* From the beginning of the day of 15th (sunrise) = 04-03 06:00 to
* the last evening hour of the 21st = 04-10 05:59, right before a new day begins.
* The 1st and 7th days are #HighShabbat days. No work like any other #Shabbat days.

Remember, a day (24-hour period) begins at sunrise or 06:00 (for easy reckoning), and ends until the next sunrise or 05:59 (for easy reckoning).

We observe the Feasts of YHWH because he commanded these, not because of rituals men told us to. It is fine if you stick to pure Torah instructions or if you want to add traditions, it is between you and The Most High. Just make sure you are not doing it as a ritual, otherwise, it is legalism. Do it because you want to obey The Most High. It was YHWH who commanded these, not men, and definitely not the Pharisees.

Have an amazing time with YHWH, The Most High!
