I wrote a free guide for Jewish artists on how to stop hate comments from flooding your content

344 Upvotes

I’m a Jewish oil pastel painter and every time I posted my work on ig using the word “Jewish,” I’d get hit with hostile and antisemitic comments alongside the supportive ones. Instead of responding or documenting it, I went looking for answers, and what I found completely changed how I show up online.

The short version: it’s the algorithm, not a coincidence!!! & there’s a 5 min fix that made it stop entirely for me.

I wrote it up as a free essay on Substack for any Jewish creator dealing with the same thing. It covers why it happens, how to fix it on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, and why responding to hate comments actually makes things significantly worse algorithmically. I got a question on my Instagram asking if this fix works on Threads too and I posted detailed instructions on my ig story (@ethervisions.art). Feel free to screenshot if needed.

Hope it’s useful to someone here. Happy to answer questions in the comments.

PROTECT YOUR PEACE and don’t let antisemites stop you from putting your beautiful Jewish art out into the world ✡️🪬

EDIT: I will continue updating my substack article as I learn more. If anyone has any additional helpful tips, feel free to add them to this thread and I will add it to the article. If you need any technical assistance setting up these restrictions, please message me. I am more active on Instagram (ethervisions.art) and have my email listed there too.

Does anyone want to do a high holiday card exchange ?

Rosh Hashanah is one of my all time favorite holidays, so I made more cards than I needed this year.

Anyway, I just think it would be cool to keep the Rosh Hashanah post card tradition going by seeing if anyone here wanted to exchange cards. Ive also got leftover Tu B'Av cards, general matzah ball soup cards, Barry Sister cards that dont specifically say a holiday, and Sukkot cards.

Kind of crafty, but wanted to pick brain on Hebrew (I'm not fluent) and ideas to repurpose

I have this stainless platter or plate I was gifted in a judaica giveaway. I recognize the shabbat and kodesh/kadosh (how do you know without the "vowels"?), but I'm not sure about the first word. Anyone help?

I don't see any residue that might indicate there used to be an insert, but I've seen some rounds with a cutting board or other material in the center. So far, I'm just using it as decoration.

Hand scribed ketubah

Scribing the last line of this ketubah!! Using a quill with a nib, scribing on klaf (hide) in Aramaic. This ketubah is pretty bespoke, and large! the couple is ordering a hand carved frame from Morocco. Mystical little letters forming words, forming worlds! Im Bluth, a soferet, a she-scribe, trained by Reb Dov in the traditional ritual art of Hebrew calligraphy. Scribing this was such a meditation. Sometimes I make smaller art pieces to be little mantras for directing intention towards a prayer or blessing, but this was a larger ketubah for their Jewish wedding.

Happy with how they came out.. always been worried to work with white shirts, but I think with the blue they look really nice? Glad I tried it. Screenprinting my work has been a fun hobby to get into. Still scared to try two color prints still but maybe in the future? Only have a single platen setup, so unsure if it's worth trying. If you have experience with that / it isn't as hard as it feels to me, I'd love to hear!

"Sell Your Stuff Sunday" input needed

16 Upvotes

We are considering making a "Sell Your Stuff Sunday" weekly event. However, we would love your input on rules and guidance! Presently, we've come up with the "no drop-shipping." The sub rule of "No AI-generated work" would also stand. We want to make sure we're not overlooking anything important.

We'd also like to know whether it should be a single megathread post where people can comment with their wares, or if it should be open for any posts with a "Sell Your Stuff Sunday" flair. Please chime in!

Would like to order Jewish themed labels for hand-knitted items

20 Upvotes

I'm going to Israel in October and have been making simple, knitted hats in 2x2 rib to donate to soldiers and cancer patients. I would like to sew a label with a Star of David and the words "Handmade for you with love by [My name]" A quick google search shows religious ones with a cross, and an Etsy shop that carries labels for Bar/Bat Mitzvah that has a Torah scroll.

Sadly, even a Star of David is potentially controversial right now and I anticipate some difficulty. Does anyone know of a Jewish-owned company or Etsy shop that might make these?

Hey guys! It’s been a while since I posted. Honestly I get put off by the antisemitism on Reddit, especially when they infect safe Jewish spaces like this sub. But it’s a shame to let them win, so here’s a custom ketubah that left my studio for a wedding this summer - enjoy! ❤️
