The real funny part of this seder plate viral tweet is that the box of matzoh in the lower center of the photo is clearly Trader Joe's brand K4P matzoh, which prominently says "product of Israel" on the box (and which I presume the protesters intend to boycott).
I don't think we should question the Jewishness of the protesters but also... the Hebrew is literally backwards

They either got confused about which holiday apples and honey are for, or they expect me to make my own applesauce.

Lots to think about this Hanukkah, like the fact that if I wish to eat my leftover candles on Passover, the OU says it is kosher to do so. Chag sameach, everyone.

I was in high school and a pretty heavy Eve 6 listener when 9/11 happened. It is very weird to be here now for the dude to partake of "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" type ideation.

Briefly interrupting Israel-Palestine chat to inform Gov. Newsom and other California democrats that, as a Mainer, this situation is actually not an invitation to you to opine on my home state's purportedly inadequate gun laws. Go back to bashing Florida, if you have to.

Shabbat shalom to all my fellow Jews who are on 17 new WhatsApp threads since last weekend and still haven’t taken down their sukkah.

I used to root for the high holidays to all be on weekdays because it got me out of NYC alt side parking, now I root for them to be on weekends so preschool isn’t closed. 5784 is a slam dunk already. Shana tova, friends. 🍎🍯

Ok, so there I was doing the thing I’m complaining about other people doing, right,
Does anyone work anymore? Went on a walk Monday at 11:00 am and there were young people everywhere. Working age people. Between all these 'creator' types, remote work, quiet quitting, etc... I honestly wonder how many people even work anymore. Is your city like that?

This same grocery store has now (not even Elul yet!) deployed what I think is supposed to be a Rosh Hashanah end cap? The matzoh is labeled “not for Passover”!

Joke's on them, I already stopped donating when they ended need-blind admissions in 2010.
Breaking News: Wesleyan University, a liberal arts college in Connecticut, ended legacy admissions, which help the children of alumni, just weeks after the Supreme Court’s ban on affirmative action. nyti.ms/3Q4QIUe

I agree, this is deeply unfair to Pharaoh.

My officemate in my first year (2010) used his university-owned iMac to CPU-mine bitcoin at night when no one was there. At the end of the year, he’d acquired 50 BTC and cashed out at $12/BTC and bought a new bicycle.
What is your most unhinged story from grad school? Mine was probably the time I picked a dead flounder up off the lab floor and then ran to a public bathroom with it in my hands and sobbed over its body in a stall.
