it’s hard to explain sukkot to my non jewish friends and make it not sound like a strong confirmation of evil cabal ritual conspiracy theories.

“so basically we get together, build a structure in our backyard, and shake a Not Lemon to thank god for the harvest. Then we go back inside and dad watches CNN until bedtime.”

jewish holidays are either a bummer or weird as shit. sometimes both. purim commemorates the defeat of Haman’s plot to massacre the Jews and we celebrate this by eating triangle jelly cookies and playing with noisemaker toy cranks. it’s been explained to me but it doesn’t really matter why

@samhenrigold similar to the British burning of a Guy Fawkes effigy for attempting to blow up parliament. The irony modern Britain is aligned to Fawkes' motivations of toppling tyranny of religion and other stuff
