Jonathan Emmesedi🧵1/3 In addition to admiring Dorothy Parker's wit and literary virtuosity, I feel linked to her because we are both....what term should I use?-- "half jewish". Ugh, no! Observant Jews reject this term because the traditional rule is one is either a Jew through matrilineal descent or conversion or not a Jew The division is binary, so no third status exists. Even those Reform authorities who are prepared to consider patrilineal descent plus a Jewish upbringing as sufficient for community membership do not entertain associate membership; one either is or isn't a Jew. In addition, the term "half jew", with its undertones of mongrel pollution of pedigree, has more than a faint sound of antisemitism.-- "of Jewish heritage". Hopelessly unspecific - does it apply to a person whose only known Jewish forebear was a great great grandfather? In addition, it is also unfortunately reminiscent of the use of the genteelism "Jewish person" instead of the supposedly offensive "Jew" , similar to the replacement of the blunt "die" by "pass". So no to that one too!-- "of patrilineal Jewish decent". Accurate, but a horrible mouthful that sounds like a piece of medico-legal terminology rather than everyday English. I suppose, however, it's the best I can think of right now; if you have any better suggestions, please put them in replies to this post! But wait!

Serge from BabkaThis article in Harper's about being a Jew in Auschwitz in 2024 is so important for non-Jews to read.<a href="https://harpers.org/archive/2024/09/my-auschwitz-vacation-tanya-gold-tourism/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://harpers.org/archive/2024/09/my-auschwitz-vacation-tanya-gold-tourism/</a>Please my non-Jewish friends who talk about the Holocaust, read it and spread it.It speaks to how European "Jewish Heritage Sites" and "Holocaust Memorials" make a spectacle about Judaism, but they often rely on the same antisemitic tropes that Jews deal with today, how non-Jews are happy to talk about the Holocaust but don't want to deal with real Jews, and the reality of being an actual living Jew.If you get even more curious about this phenomenon, please read "People Love Dead Jews" by Dara Horn.It also speaks to the way Poland has worked so hard to rewrite its own history, to make itself both the victim and the saviors.<a href="https://babka.social/tags/Jews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Jews</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Judaism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Judaism</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Holocaust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Holocaust</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/JewishHeritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JewishHeritage</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/PeopleLoveDeadJews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PeopleLoveDeadJews</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Poland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Poland</a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Auchwitz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Auchwitz</a>
