Meanwhile everything is totally normal over on tiktok on a video my sister posted of my kid putting on tefillin.
Totally normal.

Totally normal.

He's 14. He has tiktok. And he doomscrolled through 2000 antisemitic comments before I even knew it was happening. We sat together and looked again so he could learn not to internalize it. Even laugh at it and mock antisemites. But it's too late. He's 14 and now he knows.
For all those concerned, he's eating potato leek soup, watching Smallville, and cracking jokes about antisemites. I've got a good kid and a good community here on twitter.
A propos today's #Jwitter discourse around the vagaries and disappointments of the rabbinate as a profession, here are two (hopefully somewhat encouraging) anecdotes:

1. (forgot the name, sorry)
The rabbi of a shtetl was deposed from his position, and his friends, knowing what the job meant to him, came to comfort him.
"Don't worry," said he, "they can take everything away from me ... except for the מלפנים*."
*'formerly'
