By far the funniest transition timelines are the ones from trans men where the "before" picture is some teeny little guy with sad baby seal eyes and the "after" picture looks like Kratos
This is one of the top posts in r/transtimelines and it really sums up what I'm talking about
My irl saw this post and sent me this even crazier transformation today! The little guy to Kratos pipeline is real!!!
pleaaaaaase y'all the process of having a manufacturing facility declared kosher has nothing to do with a rabbi blessing the food
pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase stop
This touches on something I feel like most Christians (cultural and/or practicing) reaaaaallllly don’t get which is that rabbis traditionally aren’t clergy/priests in the Christian sense.
A rabbi isn’t a divinely-ordained speaker-for-God whose primary role is leading worship. Traditionally, rabbis are experts in Jewish law, practice, culture, history, etc.
A rabbi doesn’t have any sacred/spiritual/magical powers to bless things that any other Jew doesn’t have. (And that’s not how blessing things works in Judaism anyway. It’s an expression of gratitude, not a transmutation or instillation of magic divine power.)
The reason a rabbi is involved is to *make sure everything’s being done correctly.* Because they’re an *expert*.
Not to “bless” anything to fill it with godpowers or whatever.
Yes yes this.
You call in a rabbi to supervise and make sure that a kosher food production facility is set up properly the same way that you call in a master electrician to check and make sure all the lines are set up correctly. The electrician isn't blessing your production line any more than the rabbi is - they're both there to make sure shit is being done right.
So what you’re saying. Is the rabbi is like kOSHA?
This made me laugh so hard I wheezed.
The distinctive pairing of a cuddly cat and an intimidating shark creates a captivating contrast that makes this stuffed animal too adorable to resist! A wonderful addition to any home, it also serves as the perfect decorative piece.
Am girl. Can confirm
That second image is a good one to have lying around so you can send it to people with no context
