To avoid doubt:

This photographed tweet is not true. 

juedische-allgemeine.de/politik/nazi-r…

The article says •what I said•: the law does NOT require Jews to add to their names, but they have not filleted out the Nazi era terms. Terms such as Reichs Minister are still in this law. Image
In fact the text of this article reads as translated below.

The Reich (Jews are all too familiar w this) was the Nazi term for the country. It has deeply painful resonances. 

The Federal law does not say Jews add an extra “typical” name on changing names. That’s untrue. ImageImage
Highly damaging to pretend/fabricate Holocaust related information. It’s what our enemies do to try to erase history.

I consider those who deliberately falsify history to enhance “their” story = Holocaist falsifiers. To see it in a German speaker 😱.

A wise person removes lies. Image
The article says that the name change law speaks of the German Reich and the Reich Interior Minister. Those are the offending words.

To say it still remains that a Jew changing their name must add israel it Sara is simply untrue.

@plehwe_bgh tells me that’s unconstitutional.
No, the law does NOT require Jews to have “typical” names. That was long ago erased.

The words Reich and Reich interior minister are distressing and confront Jews w the a Nazi past. At last they are cleaning up the code. But not for the reasons Fionn keeps banging on about.

😳
In fact if he’d bothered to read the article he would have noticed that it says “the postwar occupying powers moved fast to purge the Israel/Sara law…” (2nd pic)

But he’s simply resisting even checking this.

This is utterly dishonest.

Take it down F.

This is a mezuzah. You’ll see it on the doorposts of Jewish homes. It is a small box - this in our inner hall - with a scroll inside it. Deuteronomy mandates to write its words “on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates”.
Two of the three sections of the Shema.

Here is an example of what we find inside.
Written on parchment, using a quill, these words are a •creed• for Jews. They detail the unity of God, love of God, education, reward and punishment, etc.
It’s in all doors except toilets 🤢 and bathrooms (😱nudity).

Now we see the upshot of the #LabourAntisemitism fiasco.

Jews are scared to show we’re Jewish.

Traditional Jews will normally put a mezuzah outside their front door, even if they’re not very religious.

I’ve noticed this in my own community. 3/4

#Brexit #EndIfWithdrawal

Imagine 2 de merged companies desperate to trade w each other, but unable to come to an agreement let alone a contract.

What do they do?

Stopping trading not an option - they are heavily interlinked. Rely on each other. They just can’t sign yet 1/6
So they carry on trading and negotiating.

Both sides know and trust each other broadly. They are very close, have worked together for decades.

They just can’t agree on formalities. The practicalities are not a problem.

We are here at present.

So what normally happens is agreements made piecemeal, and the companies send each other draft ideal contracts to bolster their legal standing should something go wrong.

It’s messy, informal, it is more risky, but it works.

Interesting little known fact: many Christmas songs were composed by Jews.

(I’m dreaming of a) White Christmas was written by Isidore Beilin (Irving Berlin) which broke all records in 1942 as the first great Christmas hit.

In fact Jews wrote or co-wrote many such hits.

Jews don’t do the Christian Christmas thing. We do our own, Jewish thing - even if we are not religious. Chanukah time of year.
But we love a party. This phenomenon represents the desire to join in the fun w/out compromising, most of these songs don’t mention religious stuff.2/11
Sammy Cahn (Samuel Cohen) and Jule Steyn (Julius Stein) both child immigrants to the USA wrote Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow! in 1945, during a Californian heatwave. Covered by many artists including Sinatra, Carly Simon and Rod Stewart.3/11

Tonight is the first of the eight nights of Chanukah.
The season of the winter soldsticr has always been a time for lighting lights.
From 176-160BCE, my ancestors rebelled against the oppressive Syrian Greek Seleucid emperor Antiochus IV, who tried to homogenise his subjects. 1/8
The Maccabees, under the direction of the priestly family of Hasmonean priests from Modi’in, won, and recaptured Jerusalem.

The Holy Temple there has been defiled do they set about cleansing and rededicating it. 2/8
The festival of Sukkot (booths) had not been celebrated, so the Book of Maccabees (Apocrypha) tells us they celebrated it later at the rededication. Sukkot lasts for 8 days.
Chanukah lasts 8days too…🤔
We say Hallel (psalms of praise) on both…🤔 3/8
