  1. Ώπα! 💣

    "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."

  2. This traditional stuff is almost quaint now. Psychologically speaking I guess.

    "A #swastika was painted on #TempleShalom in #Wheeling, #WestVirginia, last week. Wheeling is about 60 miles southwest of #Pittsburgh.

    The #Nazi symbol was painted on the #Reform congregation’s wall on Thursday, Aug. 13 and was removed before #Shabbat services on Aug. 14.

    The congregation’s #Rabbi #JoshuaLief told the Herald-Star that police are investigating the act, calling it a “#hatecrime.”

  4. Yesterday my husband and I had one of those moments — the kind that makes you realize if one small thing hadn’t happened, everything would be different.

    We’re in our dream home now — in the exact place we once only imagined. It feels like it fell into our lap… except it didn’t.

    It took research, patience, courage — and most of all, trust. Trust to make an uncomfortable change, trust in the right guide, and trust in the process even when we couldn’t see the full picture.

    This Shabbat, I’m reflecting on that — on faith, guidance, and the beauty of how things come together when we let go and trust. 💙

    Shabbat Shalom, friends.

  6. 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!

  7. Abib 18 (2023-04-08): Today, 2,000 years ago, the #Messiah resurrected on the third day as was prophesied. It was a weekly #Sabbath / #Shabbat, for the Messiah is the Master of Sabbath/Shabbat. It was not on the first day of the week, not on #Easter.

    He left his tomb on Sabbath day and have shown himself to countless people who did not recognise he has resurrected. Just like how it is today!

    Rejoice! For the Messiah has conquered the grave! #HeIsRisen!
