Hey. Gentiles. Listen up for a sec.

When September and October are nearing and you’re planning an event: google “Rosh Hashanah *year*” and *Yom Kippur *year*” and then, and I cannot stress this enough, don’t plan your event on those days. In fact, don’t plan any events starting sundown the night before. Those are the three most important days of the Jewish calendar, and, once again, I cannot stress enough how much this little bit of forethought and kindness will make every Jew you know cry tears of joy.

2026 dates:

Rosh Hashanah: begins evening of Friday, September 11th. Ends evening of Sunday, September 13th.

Yom Kippur: begins evening of Sunday, September 20th. Ends evening of Monday, September 21st.

Sukkot: begins evening of Friday, September 25th. Work prohibited through evening of Sunday, September 27th. Holiday goes through the entire week, if scheduling a meeting during lunch, please be aware that observant Jews may need to go to a nearby sukkah (outdoor temporary structure built for the holiday) in order to eat a substantial meal (with bread) and may require extra time for lunch to enable this.

Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah: begins evening of Friday, October 2nd. Ends evening of Sunday, October 4th.

This isn't a fully crystallized thought yet but I think the Reform Movement needs a Chabadnik equivalent for Jewish outreach and I'm not kidding

There are so many Jews who are not affiliated with a synagogue and who are disconnected from Jewish community and I honestly think being visible and offering that community even for a moment would help bring people in

Catch me in a few weeks chasing people with lemons

I mean, things like that do exist, they just don't involve chasing people with lemons at the subway station. In the USA, check out your local branch of https://www.jewishfederations.org/ to see what's happening near you. If there isn't a branch near you, you have been assigned to start one!

These aren't specifically reform, in fact, they are specifically nondenominational. (A few of my relatives are involved in their local-branch leadership and have mentioned that a big part of their job is keeping ALL the congregations at least talking to one another.)

But yeah, this is outreach stuff.

This is true! I was also thinking that there are so so many JCC's out there. My immediate area has 3. And they aren't even specifically Jewish! Things like the gym and child care are open to all. (Again, this thought isn't fully crystallized.)

But I think where the Federations and JCC's don't match Chabad is the outreach and visibility thing sometimes. Like, they're great, and they're there for you if you go to them. But you have to go to them. I'm trying to think of like. How do Reform (and even Conservative) Jews become visible to disconnected or unaffiliated Jews, reach out to them, and bring them into community? How could JCC's and Federations be leveraged to do this? I joke about chasing people with lemons but like, stand outside a metro and flyer and ask people what they're doing for the high Holidays type stuff.

Again, this isnt a full thought, it's the beginnings of something that may become a thought. I just love Chabadniks and wonder why the rest of us don't do that too.

“the soft animal of your body”….? thats my hard as fuck werewolf body to you

Another print done just in time for Birmingham MCM! I had an idea to draw this the second I saw Olly passed out on that couch in the background - I just know the second the girls are in bed, Qifrey gets his cuddle tax in.

Can you tell I love adding in lots of fun details for these pieces.
