Britain’s sanctions on Israel reveal hypocrisy of its ‘occupation’ policy
So the gloves are off. The British government has banned trade with Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria,…

As we prepare to observe the #Jewish #HighHolidays, we think about the Uyghurs in #China who are prohibited from observing their religious holidays. All people should be free to attend their houses of worship without fear of persecution.

I really liked this episode of the #JudaismUnbound podcast for many reasons. Here are a few (sorry this will be a long ramble), along with some more general HH ( #HighHoliday ) thoughts:
1. It was refreshing to hear Dan & @lexaphus say what I increasingly feel --- a deep disconnect with the theology of much of the traditional Jewish High Holiday liturgy.
2. I never knew about the tradition of "side reading" (bringing other things, including even novels) with one to HH services, so as to be in the room with the community during many of the services, even while one is reading something else. --- Part of me thinks that is a wonderful idea, another part of me feels uneasy about it (but I can't explain why). I'm curious if others have thoughts about or experience with this practice.
3. I forgot who said this (the guest or the hosts), but someone mentioned that it was unfortunate that so many Jews only attend services at the HH's, because they are getting a really distorted view of the idea of "God" from these services, that doesn't reflect the more open conceptualizing of the divine that is more common in many liberal-leaning Jewish #Shabbat services. I strongly agree with this sentiment.
4. I am more strongly feeling that I want to rethink the HH's, but especially Yom Kippur. I won't try reviving the famous "Yom Kippur balls" of the early Jewish anarchists, but there is a part of me that wants to find a way to express some contrariness in a semi-respectful way in how observe YK this year.
5. I'm of course, thinking a lot about Israel/Palestine in the midst of all of this, the horrors of terrorism and war (especially with the one year anniversary of the Hamas attacks and the subsequent war), and the challenges of collective teshuvah (repentance) in the midst of ongoing collective tragedy. These complicated feelings are coloring much of my HH thoughts this year.
6. Thanks to the remodeling of our synagogue here in #OKC, our synagogue is have its services at Crossings-Mayfair (formerly the Mayfair Church of Christ). It is a wonderful welcoming thing for Crossings-Mayfair to do this (and is a conveniently perfect given the COC's long iconoclastic approach to church architecture --- no big crosses, stained glass windows, etc.) --- But there is another part of me that dreads being in a COC-oriented space due to my past not-so-great history in this tradition.
7. My favorite HH of recent years was at the height of the COVID pandemic. We had services early under a Sukkah (erected a month early that year). I know this didn't work for many (as the attendance numbers were much lower than at normal HH services) but I wish there was a local synagogue that offered as many services as possible outdoors. I would be there every week if there were, but I would especially love it during the HH's.

@uspolitics A far-right goofball failed to make sense of her talk about the day of atonement — No Marge, that's neither about atomic power nor the musical scale!
