I Lit A Candle For My Cousin, Shir. I Can't Believe It's Been A Year, I Still Cry Every Time I Think

I lit a candle for my cousin, Shir. I can't believe it's been a year, I still cry every time I think about her. So I decided to share some facts about her:

She loved butterflies

Her favorite color was yellow

When she was seven her parents let her help paint their home, several walls still have Shir butterflies everywhere she could reach

Her two front teeth were far enough apart that she could squirt water between them

She would get into arguments with stray cats

She liked to mix ketchup and honey and dip her fries in it (I taught her that one)

She used to make up songs about whatever she was doing (we sometimes called her "Shir ha'shirim)

Her bat mitzvah would have been this past may

She was twelve years old

Her body was found missing her pants and underwear

She had two bullet wounds in her chest

She didn't deserve that, no one deserves that

Hello fellow jews I have a question since shecht means to slay can this be used in other ways

For example could you say you are "shechting pussy"

Could you say "yaas queen shecht"?

Many things to think about

Wow...you sure are making a lot of assumptions about me because of a single post where I criticize something for spreading harmful rhetoric.

I never denied that there were German people who helped or German victims but in the story the father is an actual nazi.

I as a descendant of holocaust survivors have no moral burden to forgive nazis or extend empathy to them.

I don't believe I'm better i dont see how im berating people for being people. Lacking empathy for a nazi is not the same as lacking empathy for anyone who I see as an outsider. I only call criticism dumb if the person refuses to interact with the conversation in a mature way (this is visible from other interactions i have had about this exact subject). The righteous comment was simply about the statement that Judaism does not ask you or force you to forgive those who have deeply wronged you as opposed to some religions that may find that righteous. It was never about people not being empathetic enough it was simply about a bad story doing bad things and people not being aware of the bad things it has done. I don't think that disliking boy in the striped pajamas is an extreme view at all, I think having strong negative opinions is normal and it is very much casual for me because I don't think about these things constantly. I post them on this blog because it is a blog about my Judaism and things related to it.

I'm not sure what I have said or done for you to see everything that I say as infantile and cruel.

Also please don't use Jewish terms against Jews.

Whenever someone praises "boy in the striped pajamas" i get so angry that I combust. I HATE YOUR STUPID FUCKING WHITE SAVIOR, HISTORICALLY INNACURATE, HOLOCAUST FANFICTION. "Oh it was so sad when the German boy went into the gas chamber" was it not sad when the millions of jews went into the gas chambers??? You only felt that way for the German boy???

*turns you into a fish who has neither fins nor scales and is therefore not kosher and thus will never get the mitzvah of being blessed before eating*

Hopefully soon I will go to Israel and be able to place a rock on your grave. Maybe I will go to the store and get a special gemstone and use that instead. I will sit and talk with you about how you wanted to hang out when you came home and how we never got to. How you had so much to do, so much to give, so much to experience and it was cut short. I will talk of the times we had together and how I hope you are doing well up in shamayim. And I will cry. I will stay with you until I no longer can but my rock will still be there. It will not decay. It will lay on your early grave when I am not able to. And with it I will tell you how much I miss you.

Hello jumblr I hope we all have a meaningful yom Kippur and if we are fasting an easy fast

I always think I'm soooo smart for drinking extra water before the fast but all I ever get out of it is an extra long pee that deprives me of all moisture two hours into the fast.
