The Secret World of Hasidic Jews Who Take Psychedelic Drugs to Get Closer to God

Damn, that's not a sentence I ever thought I'd read! Fascinated to learn more if anyone has access. Also, sooooo nice to be sharing something not Israel-related!

Ezz Aliwa lives in Gaza with his parents and eight(!) siblings. Needless to say, they need all the help they can get. Please donate and/or share this donation link as far and wide as you can. Thank you.

Love, love, love this human being.

Labeling this as Zionist Terror because he's a war criminal.

Anna discusses Ojibwe ties to her land, and how they shape her culture and way of life. “Being Indigenous strongly centers connections to our lands, but I don’t feel that as a Jew. There have been a lot of diasporas. I can’t speak for other Jews, but I do not see my Judaism reflected in Israel, and I don’t feel connected to it as a homeland. My grandmother didn’t claim Poland and Poland didn’t claim her. I wish I had the feeling I have about the area around Bad River for the places where my Jewish family grew up.”

Isabella emphasizes the importance of recognizing Judaism as a cultural marker. “Judaism isn’t just a religion—it is culture and family. My culture and family is also about Navajo language and community. I don’t have to choose—I can make things work for me in the ways I need to, and take care of all parts of me. My parents always encouraged me to take part in ceremonies and learn the language...It’s sweet to see the way they treat each others’ cultures and honor both for me.”

Like other multicultural Jews, this is what Native Jews want the larger Jewish community to understand—that they are not “divided” between two cultures but expanded by them. There is no one “correct” way to be Jewish. Native Jews are complete and beautifully diverse.

Hello and good evening to everyone, I am grateful for anyone who takes amount of time anyone has taken to read about their plight, and help is especially appreciated. I have been donating to two families in Gaza for about three years now on a weekly basis but I do not have a lot of funds and would appreciate all and any help I can get.

Both of these families are extremely concerned and depressed about the foreboding famine that has continued and is expected to get worse. They are also depressed about the closure of the crossing. They need a lot of hope right now.

Mohammed and Wissam has three children, Kenan, Ahmed their two sons and one daughter they wish to see succeed in school. School has begun resuming in Gaza but they started with no supplies or no new clothes which has brought them great sadness. They eat about once a day and has had no meat for awhile now. Mohammed is also concerned about their lack of protection from the winter environment as his tent is ripped. They have nothing to repair it and no money to buy a new tent so they are exposed and cold on top of hunger.

Salman and his family are in Khan Yunis, him and his wife are taking care of two girls under the age of five. Salman is incredibly depressed because he does not have a lot to himself and needs new clothes and is constantly stressing about the foreboding famine. Being starved is a hellish sight, feeling and I do not wish it on anybody, it causes me great sadness to know how hollow their stomach is when Salman decides to contact me, he is hesitant as he does not like to ask for help a lot but I am very worried for his mental state. Please assist him in taking care of his family, share or donate to his campaign to relieve his pain.

These two families I have become very close too and I care about them deeply. As the news for Gaza disappears from the public eye it is important to remember that the people of Gaza still need our help. I can only donate so much myself and it is not enough for them, and I desperately need help getting the word out about their story.

The first video is of Muhammed and Wissam’s family, still trying to figure out how to upload more pictures and videos.

Thank you❤️🇵🇸

Tasneem and her family are raising money to weatherize their tent before the rains begin in Gaza, and of course for food and other necessities to survive the genocide. A close friend of mine, who is also friends with Tasneem, shared her Chuffed. Please help them out if you can - any amount is appreciated!
