Screw these goyim who want us to be careful not to generalize charedim because they’re good Jews who refuse to serve in the IDF, but at the same time perpetuate the stereotype that Jews control the media.

I wonder if FYJH has anything to contribute on the Haskalah? Considering his is the only Jewish history tumblr and everything.

Speaking of St Francis - it is almost impossible to find a decent modern-ish painting of him that doesn’t look like a Disney screencap. When did we become so literal in our art? And why?
Avant-gardism. With the rise of anti-academicism in 19th century France under the sometimes paradoxical ideologies of “art for art’s sake” and an art to lead a secular society...

The more I study art, the more I find the term “art” limited. Art is not transcultural, art is not transhistorical, art assumes a particular audience and a particular set of producers. It is increasingly apparent to me that art history is not the study of the history of visual culture, but the study of a particular visual culture’s history. I have a suspicion that as long as we...

lazersilberstein:
i find it hypocritical and ironic that he posts so much about the Shoah, then makes no effort to understand survivors’ outlooks, nor understands the word “antisemitism.”
That is another part of the problem I have with him. When we aren’t being good Jews or bad Jews, we’re passive victims. His narrative denies us agency. He’s a kid, he’s in HS, he...

Fuckyeahjewishhistory irritates me. This recent nonsense about the usefulness of the word “antisemitism”, and the slightly less recent labeling of post-Shoah revenge plots “genocidal” really encapsulate the issue. They play into the goyische narrative of “good” Jews and “bad” Jews, and judging by the contents of his like folder, which is filled with...

“Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, ‘This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called “woman,” for she was taken out of man.’ For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be…
Wow, an antisemite masquerading as someone friendly. What a shock.

I had no idea it was possible to search people’s “like” folders. Is this common knowledge I just somehow missed?

This is getting increasingly embarrassing. I wish someone out there had pointed out that there are reasons no teenage boy should run a blog on Jewish history, why did no one tell us?

…and read Frances Saunders’ How to Be a Stuffed Animal in Lapham’s Quarterly. The curious intersection of taxidermy, collection/exhibition practice, and Americans-with-too-much-fucking-free-time-and-money is the right way to start off another miserable week. If the paragraphs reproduced below don’t pique your interest, you have no soul.

“it’s okay that so-and-so made a jewish joke, they’re jewish!”
or no
you don’t know what’s triggering to other people, so just because you’re jewish DOES NOT make it okay to make jewish jokes.
that shit is triggering to me personally and it’s not what i want to see in the jewish tags.
i don’t understand why jews are polluting their own tags with unfunny shit like that

What the fucking fuck. I want an academic understanding of Matisse, not your fucking New Age crystal world interpretation. Why the fucking hell does the New School own a copy of this mush?

The world would probably be a much better place if Jews and Shiites got along as well as certain bigots on the Jewish tags think.
Idk there aren’t that many shia. Mostly i am just astounded. Like, how antisemitic does ahmedinejad need to be before assholes stop thinking he’s jewish??
Don’t you know that antisemitism is the best cover for love and respect...

I’ve noticed a trend that a lot of Jews on tumblr tend to get really angry and hostile really fast at “ignorance.”
Can we talk about this?
First of all, “ignorance” does not mean someone who is prejudiced towards a group of people. The word refers to someone who is not informed. If...
lazersilberstein asked: mazl tov! i love that piece and seeing it in person was great. have you seen the class critiques of the piece floating around tumblr? apparently Chicago used a lot of unpaid intern labor, and i think there was something about techniques not being properly credited to them or others.
Well apparently I’m working for the Brooklyn Museum this summer! I will be working under the auspices of the Sackler Center for Feminist Art to research, edit, and create Wikipedia articles on the 1000+ women recognized in Judy Chicago’s Dinner Party. I am absolutely thrilled to be able to participate in bringing such an enormous, important project to fruition.
Speaking from a...
Interview with the Brooklyn Museum tomorrow morning, fingers crossed I’ll get this internship!
