Because this person certainly is! My goyische fiance: “Is this a prank?” after being informed it is not: “At that point you should just go outside and build a kosher hut” also art becomes life I guess I’m sobbing this is a perfect addition We knew this couple from our schul back in the day who had an issue with birds continually flying into their french window, so upon advice from an animal control expert they lined the outside of the window with foil as a measure to ward off the birds. They happened to do this right before Pesach and their neighbours asked them if this was some kind of Passover tradition. At the time they were like “Huh? OMG goyim have such weird ideas about Jews!” but after seeing this, I’m now in the opinion that the neighbours were right. I am not jewish so my presence is not relevant. However i am high. And i genuinely cant tell if this makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE WHATEVER because i am high or because im not jewish. Or are jewish holidays just…. Like that. Jewish people: this post Me, a simple non jew who happens to be high as balls, sobbing: what the fuck does this mean Yo @transenbyhollis that is an extremely fair question, high or not. For you and the rest of the peanut gallery, the joke here is honestly…. just kind of something you had to have lived through to really get? So you may be aware that many Jews (in particular, religious Jews, but some secular Jews also) keep the dietary laws known as kashrut. The really, really basic meaning of this is that we only eat meat from certain animals that has been slaughtered in a certain way, and we separate meat and dairy. How people observe this in practice varies a lot. If you follow the strict traditional rules, you have separate dishes, cookware, and ideally appliances for meat and dairy. However, there is a whole continuum of practices that are more lenient. In any event, for eight days a year, during the holiday of Pesach (Passover), those who keep kosher year-round (and even some who don’t) observe unique kashrut rules that involve removing all of the chametz (leavened grain products) from the household and one’s diet. If one holds by traditional observance, ridding one’s life of chametz in preparation for Pesach is a BIG deal, and includes a truly insane amount of cleaning and then the covering of surfaces that cannot be kashered. People literally clean for a month to be fully prepared. In fact, you know what? I’m just gonna drop this here: https://www.chabad.org/holidays/passover/pesach_cdo/aid/664473/jewish/Printable-Passover-Guide-2019.htm. It’s such an intensive process that once you’ve lived through it, it only makes sense to make jokes about it. Covering items that do not have and couldn’t even have food on them (see: the toilet paper) is hilariously over the top, but a good tension relief when you’re on your tenth hour of scrubbing your entire kitchen with a toothbrush to ensure that literally no cookie crumb has escaped. GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS AGAIN Sudden mental image of a dude just taking a power washer to his kitchen when i was a small child i (christian-raised) understood: Passover and Easter are two holidays that are around the same time of year but different; Easter is the Christian holiday celebrating Jesus’s return from the dead; Passover involves a ban on chametz and can involve observers throwing a lot of chamitz away. Young me came to the knowledgable conclusion that Jesus = chametz How dare you leave this in the tags: [Screenshot ID: tags from @kindigo#christians: so easter is coming up #jews: *busy cleaning for pesach* love that for you. SARAH CHECK ON TOP OF THE CABINETS. I DON’T CARE GET A STOOL. #christians: …so have you heard about our lord and savior jesus christ #jews: YES EVEN THE TOILET PAPER. ALL OF IT. sorry im really busy. what’s so special about this guy? #christians: he is risen– #jews: *screaming* End ID] @apocrypals Ok serious question. Is this how spring cleaning became a thing? So this source seems to think it could be connected. (That said, their explanation of why we eat unleavened bread is incomplete - it’s also because the fleeing Israelites didn’t have time to allow the bread to rise before leaving Egypt, as well as being the “bread of affliction.”) To be honest, I doubt spring cleaning was an original Jewish idea, but I wouldn’t be surprised if longstanding seasonal practices influenced the intensity of the yearly removal of chametz. However, removing chametz, no matter how intense the process, is not strictly speaking spring cleaning. -- source link
