pickBaddiel, a British Jew, is trying to explain how antisemitism prevalent and acceptable in UK. He raises a number of points: 1-this kind of behavior and hatred would not be accepted with regards to any other minority; 2-no significant action is taken against Jew hatred and 3-the antisemitic tropes used are the same old ones. The book was published couple of years before 10/7 attack on Israel, since then the Jew hatred soared #Hanukkahchallenge
pickA woman moves to Israel as a young wife, but divorces soon after and ends up with a complete sense of insecurity, loneliness and fear that she‘ll never have another chance to become a wife and a mother. She rediscovers herself through a very structured religious practice - the study of Talmud. It‘s a personal and captivating narrative with links to Talmudic texts. #Hanukkahchallenge #imthatjew #told_by_a_woman
This romance was so-so for me. A Jewitch in a small town beset by an antiSemitic group meets a man with amnesia who she thinks is a golem she created. Shenanigans ensued, I guess. It was fine.
BUT - having Stars of David on the cover, it fills the very large square in the very last month of #ISpyBingo #ISpy @TheAromaOfBooks
I'm done!
I'm reading Magical Meet Cute, so of course the word “magic“ is everywhere. Off and racing for the last month of the year

Our goal should be to help improve the lot of others in line with God‘s covenantal expectations that we are to be concerned with justice and human dignity.
I wish you all peace. #shabbatshalom
