שלום!

Welcome to Lemmy's place for all things Jewish, from memes to serious discussion. To keep things appropriate, there are a few rules to keep in mind:

1. A Place for all things Jewish.

This is a community to post and discuss things that are particular to the Jewish people Unrelated posts and comments will be removed. This tent is big enough for all Jews of all denominations and practices; please refrain from judging or belittling anyone's personal practice or status.

2. Stay on Topic.

There are many other communities to post and discuss news and politics related to the State of Israel and the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. This community is focused on Jewish religion, culture, community, and peoplehood. There may sometimes be an intersection, such as an article in a Jewish publication about how Jewish communities respond to events in Israel, but this is not a place to discuss Israeli News or Politics.

2a. No Meta-Posts about Lemmy. There are also other communities to discuss Lemmy itself. This is not a place to discuss or air grievances with other users, communities, or mods.

3. No bigotry of any kind will be tolerated.

In addition to violating the server rules, statements made which disparage or dehumanize any group of people are not in line with Jewish values.

4. No antisemitism of any kind will be tolerated.

The IHRA definition of antisemitism is the most widely used and accepted in the world, and by the most significant Jewish organizations. If you are unclear about the definition, please see the link. This also includes promoting antisemitic tropes, dogwhistles, jokes, or conspiracy theories.

5. No Proselytizing.

This is not a place to share or encourage non-Jewish beliefs.

6. Be Civil.

Please be respectful and keep discussions civil and clean.

Candace Owens criticized the Lubavitcher Rebbe. His fans quickly clapped back. (forward.com)

Owens referenced the fact that some Chabad adherents believe Schneerson was the Messiah and suggested they should be accepting Jesus instead.

“For those of you who are not familiar with Rabbi Schneerson, there are some Jews who believe he was and is the messiah, so rejecting Christ but believing that that rabbi was his messiah,” she said.

It was far from the first time that Owens, who has millions of online followers, has gone after Jews and Jewish groups. She was fired from the media company of Ben Shapiro, who is an Orthodox Jew, earlier this year after criticizing Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, and since then has supported white nationalist Nick Fuentes and used her YouTube channel to defend Hitler and question historical facts about the Holocaust.

LOL "rejecting Christ." Does that mean that Christians "reject Muhammad?"

Religious dicks always think their religion is the default. If your religion is correct, why doesn't it come preinstalled? Why need a subscription package you pay weekly for?
