Yknow...I cant help but wonder about the timing of the arrival of cops to just "check things out" not 20 minutes after my arrival at a Chabad just now...
Oh and of course they walked *past* me to ask the white guy if everything was ok here...
I mean I've *been* done with shacharit but ngl, a lil tempted to make a show of doing it all over again
Well at least the blk officer was a lil apologetic repeating the "just checking things out" line. She must be catching my vibes. Her partner is...less so. He must be catching my vibes.

Tell me you don't know that police have no duty to protect individuals without telling me you don't know that police have no duty to protect individuals.
Hm, what's that? Oh yeah,  In most states the government and police owe no legal duty to protect individual citizens from criminal attack.
Many states evade liability by relying on the ironically named “public duty” doctrine, which states police owe a duty to protect the public *in general* but not to protect any particular *individual*.

now for something different: the OU position on Impossible Pork is ridiculous.The point of a hechsher is to declare whether something is kosher or not, not how someone *feels* about something being kosher or not.
Also, this could very well become a stumbling block leading folk to eat trief, because if they decide to buy Impossible Pork anyway because, at this moment, all its ingredients are kosher, there's no failsafe to inform if the recipe is changed.
Also, this flies in the face of the dictums that everything forbidden in this world has an acceptable counterpart, and also that it is easy to declare something assur, the challenge is to see how something is muttar.

Actually, let's get back to this whole "Jewface" thing. Like many other terms concerning Jews, what this is really talking about are *white* non-Jews portraying *white* Jewish characters.
Dr. Christina Yang of Grey's Anatomy is Jewish. Sandra Oh isn't. Ato Essandoh isn't Jewish, yet he's played both Dr. Isidore Latham on Chicago Med AND Kwesi Weisberg-Annan on Away. Luke Youngblood isn't Jewish, but Sid from Galavant is.
We can even make a reach for Michael Dorn's Worf on Star Trek: TNG. So where's the dialogue/outrage about "Jewface" in those cases?

Unpopular take: "Jewface" is a weird flex from someone who did actual blackface.
"Jewface" is a weird flex when every Purim, Jews of color have to repeatedly ask their white coreligionists to not dress up in blackface or yellowface
"Jewface" is a weird flex when Al Jolson and The Jazz Singer exist

Hey everybody. So, full disclosure, a lot of my commentary is actually 1st draft done.
But I'm wary to share it bc 1-im wary of sharing w/o the context of the rest of my commentary
2-sharing the piece doesnt illustrate the whole, so either ill be villified for what i DID share, or there'll be an expectation that ill be going in a certain direction but im not and thus disappointing folk.

hey gang. so im gonna hop a little bit out of my wheelhouse for a bit. lgbtq+ issues, esp as a frum person, are more competently handled by folk like @mike_rabbi, but i feel like i should take a swing on this one. (1/x)
many of us have probably heard about the pride emails sent out by two kosher restaurants recently. a 3rd party pr firm sent out both emails w/o telling either restaurant first. clearly there were communication issues. (2/x)
for example restaurant A had their old logo attached to the email. but the real problem is restaurant B, which sent out a follow up apology for those who mightve been offended by the pride email. (3/x)
