@PYMundGenealogy I'm old enough to remember another infamous debate of his: https://t.co/6nlFJYCCOg

@FrumTikTok Because of the Pritzus-dik lyrics, I'm not sure you want to promote that song.

If you’re a leftist you need to be shteiging through 4-5 blatt of gemara a week along with teaching chumash to the kinder in your shtetl. There’s no excuse not to be deepening your avoyda daily

[Anthony F. Irwin @AnthonyIrwinLA]

So I’m kinda curious why we haven’t gotten more pieces linking KC’s offensive drop off and Eric Bieniemy’s departure.

@Anzovina Forgive the shameless self-promotion, but I think you’d enjoy my article about the story:

[Rabbi David Polsky @MotownRabbi]

@RabbiAYO I seem to recall Rav Schachter mentioning it. If you have access, I suggest looking in Rav Zevin’s chapter on Rav Chayim Ozer in Ishim VeShitot, since it sounds like the type of thing he’d mention.

[Michael W. Twitty @KosherSoul]

Nope. That's a lie.
Black-Jewish liberation Seders are a thing.
Seders where we sing GO DOWN MOSES are a thing.
Juneteenth&Emancipation Day exist.
The Passover story is shared..it is both tribal and covenental.
The story of the Exodus inspired generations of Black Americans.

@BpopeTV @mikefreemanNFL Whiteness, one helluva drug

@LordIanAustin Since @OwenJones84 is such a Talmud scholar, I was wondering if I could get his help on something. I'm up to the bottom of this page. I'm trying to figure out how Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish are disagreeing about Rabbi Shimon's position.

@OwenJones84 can I get your help?

[Rabbi David Polsky @MotownRabbi]

Actually, it's a pretty good summary of Shaar 4 of Nefesh HaChayim.

[Rabbi David Polsky @MotownRabbi]

@daas_balabatim @GillianPolack @hannahrossbooks @JewishWonk @PYMundGenealogy To my knowledge, with the exception of Chabad (because of the Rambam), most Chasidim are more lenient on Eiruvin than Litvaks.

@hayxtt Except he isn't. Gotta love that tone policing by a random Somalian of a Palestinian literally living in Palestine 🙃

[Rabbi David Polsky @MotownRabbi]

@adrianaschwarz_ @QueenMab87 I like it a lot. Among the signatories are Shaul Maggid, Daniel Boyarin, and Peter Beinart, who can't exactly be accused of being right-wing Zionists.

[Rabbi David Polsky @MotownRabbi]

These people are implicitly supporting the deaths of innocent Palestinians, because they’re suggesting that, if reports of mass assault are true (and they are), everything Israel is doing is justified, as opposed to arguing that it should not justify what is happening in Gaza.
