For everyone in their feelings about the jewish view on the afterlife, plz quote one non Anglo reform responsa that states such. Then we can talk. Thx.
For reference, *Judaism* believes in a Gd. But there are *jews* who dont. And there is no atheist source or tradition in jewish text.
*jews* can believe/practice whatever they want. Doesnt change what *judaism* says
Saying Jews dont believe in an afterlife/heaven/hell is like saying Jews dont believe keeping kosher is a thing

Folk upset I'm not going to shul this week: it's a testament to the ignorance of mainstream Judaism on the work/labor/stress shul entails for JoCs and it shows, in a world where 26% of American Jews experience a.s. but 80% of JoCs experience discrimination in *Jewish spaces*. 1/x
Clearly youve never shown up as the "other" in shul on a literal weekly basis. 2/x
Clearly you weren't a PoC having to either directly counter or endure debates/snide remarks of "Well if they respected the officer/Why is everything about race/Why are blks so antisemitic" during George Floyd, Black Lives Matter, or literally any instance of police brutality 3/x

Alright. So Jamie Foxx. By this point you've prolly seen his post and apology, and here we are in yet another "black antisemitism crisis" moment. 1/x

In one corner we have #BlackTwitter:
"This is just an *obvious* lack of experience with black culture. The black community know what he's saying, but here's these YT ppl thinking it’s about them or talking about the Jews...🙄"
Which, yeah. And no. 2/x
In the other corner, #JTwitter:
"This is a *wildly* antisemitic statement evoking centuries of violence against Jews!"
Which, no. Also, yep. 3/x

Yo, Hebrew-Israelites, I’m really happy for you, and imma let you finish, but Milli Vanilla had one of the best co-opt acts of all time! Of all time!
But seriously, let’s get ahead of this right tf now:

The Black Jewish community and the Hebrew-Israelite community are not the same thing.
We do not share a community.
We do not share the same struggle.
We do not fight the same battle for legitimacy. 2/x
Black Jews come in secular, Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, Reconstructionist, et al. 3/x

No, I didn't watch SNL. More accurately I only watched the cold open & Weekend Update. But having seen the monologue clips shared on Twitter (refusing to give YouTube the views) 2 things are apparent: 1-Dave Chappelle is still a genius 2-He definitely emboldened antisemitism 1/x
His monologue is a masterclass in rib-nudging eyewinking plausible deniability that mixes in just enough real commentary that you almost dont realize that he never denounces kanye/kyrie for their views but for their big mouths 2/x
He took a very *real* kernel of fact "Ferguson is full of black ppl, but they dont run anything" & instead of continuing the comparison with "Hollywood is full Jews but they dont control it" he stops at "Hollywood is full of Jews" and it isn't "crazy" to think they control it 3/x

Oh, hi. Didn't notice you come in. Antisemitism is really not the look, and imma need some of you to grow the fuck up fam. A thread:1/x
Firstly, let’s get all the “you’re being victim blame-y” nonsense out of the way that plagued my last thread: Multiple things can be true at the same time, and multiple things can be wrong at the same time, and explaining a mechanism does not mean absolving accountability. 2/x
Secondly, this is not a Kyrie Irving-specific critique but a general critique of antisemitism when espoused by blk ppl. 3/x

Oh, hi. Didn't notice you come in. The American Jewish response to POC antisemitism fucking sucks & will continue to until things change. A thread:
First, let's start off with a quote from James Baldwin's "Negros Are Anti-Semitic Because They're Anti-White" essay, particularly this line:
"He has absolutely no relevance in this context as a Jew. His only relevance is that he is white and values his color and uses it.He is singled out by Negroes not because he acts differently from other white men, but because he doesn't."
