Take a look at this thread. Saying "Have a blessed day" is a Christian expression (however universal Christians think it is). The fact that other religions also talk about blessings in other contexts doesn't make this expression somehow not Christian.

JWHIA tweets pointedly, implying that Christian workers didn't wash their faces today, but in fact they came into work with a smudge on their forehead because they are observing Ash Wednesday.

Jews tend to assume work restrictions on holidays, so there is something worth noting from a Jewish perspective, whether a holiday does or doesn't. Obviously it's not really a pilgrimage holiday but our writer didn't do enough research to realize that.

Teachers may be unfamiliar with the customs of a holiday and worry about impropriety if they receive a "love note" on the holiday. Religious minorities sometimes include a note or explanation of a custom before involving a person from outside that tradition, to avoid confusion.

The chocolate/flowers/sugar hearts is a culturally specific way of celebrating the day but it's not an obvious foregone conclusion for all days of love. Interestingly though, Tu B'Av is also about both friendship and romantic love, so this is a point of commonality.

St. Valentine's Day is considered totally secular even though it contains the word "saint". Cherubs are also considered secular, though they actually aren't. Fortunately real-life public schools are mostly smart enough not to depict St. Valentine in their decorations.

Christians don't really think this, but explanations written by people who don't come from the tradition don't always differentiate between sincere beliefs and cute holiday legends/myths. Your "bashert" is the person you are destined to marry.

@jewinthecity Sorry, but I don't see how making us aliens who aren't part of European history is going to do anything but harm us. It's literally playing into the "those Jews aren't really part of our culture" stereotype that the people who call us "rootless cosmopolitans" use.
#PublicSchool poll: seeking community feedback on the 5784 academic calendar. In addition to federal holidays (e.g. Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, first and last two days of Sukkot and Pesach, Shavuot), which ONE day should we also schedule as a day off? #MedinatAmerica #EduTwitter
@JWhoKnowsItAll Very few ppl outside Ireland would know how to say Padraig
@JewWhoHasItAll “First Day Night”? I’m all for inclusiveness and using language that accommodates diverse communities but just say Erev First Day like a normal person.
@susanlbrannigan I block anyone who harasses my followers, including with aggressive supersessionism like that. I also block Messianics— Christians misappropriating Jewish practices are not my audience and I don’t want to be theirs.
@JewWhoHasItAll I just want to say that your account and associated RTs are tickling me pink. Between you and @JWhoKnowsItAll's explanations, I feel like I'm learning a lot!
@MattShare3 @JewWhoHasItAll @adamdnathan @benjaminlowe @yung_pat_swayze Interesting. You know, it’s tough to keep all the details straight! Maybe the Christian kids could simply bring in paint in colors that are significant to their culture. I’m sure their parents won’t mind sending it.
@benjaminlowe @JewWhoHasItAll @yung_pat_swayze In addition they can explain why they don't light candles at home and tell the whole class what they do instead.
@der_deutscher @KelmitTheFrog @JWhoKnowsItAll @Afelia @halbblutJude @JewWhoHasItAll There's a reason so many of us approach this by trying to build empathy and advocacy from allies within the mainstream culture generally, instead of taking it head on in our own immediate circles.
@der_deutscher @KelmitTheFrog @JWhoKnowsItAll @Afelia @halbblutJude @JewWhoHasItAll And even if there was, go back to the thread and think about it. What's the risk/value analysis to putting your name in the paper as the whistleblower in your own kid's school? How does that affect their social life? How does it affect yours? Does it make things better or worse?
@Nelle_at_home @JewWhoHasItAll Pediatrician here. Can confirm that full term birth is preferable when possible/safe for all. While the correct answer to the question “What innovation has saved the most lives in human history?” may be clean water, you will not be marked incorrect if you answer “NICU nurses.”
@der_deutscher @KelmitTheFrog @JWhoKnowsItAll @Afelia @halbblutJude @JewWhoHasItAll As a Jew, I'll say that their "good faith efforts" feel tokenizing and extremely ignorant. Calling it the "holiday season" & tossing a menorah decoration in with all the Xmas shit does not make it inclusive. The worst part is their assumption that Hanukkah is our biggest holiday.
@der_deutscher @KelmitTheFrog @JWhoKnowsItAll @Afelia @halbblutJude @JewWhoHasItAll They only give a bit of tokenistic lip service to Hanukkah because it falls near their Christmas, so they naturally assume it's our biggest holiday and including is all they have to do to make their Jewish students feel at home year round.
@der_deutscher @JewWhoHasItAll @JWhoKnowsItAll @Afelia @halbblutJude (If you want to learn more about how the US privileges white Christians, with Christmas playing into that, and how it’s all just a tool of Christian nationalism and supremacy, there’s this amazing book I learned about through JWHIA and Jewsplainer— nyupress.org/9781479840236/…)

@JWhoKnowsItAll You may be done. Personally, I spend the rest of the evening justifying why I can eat just one more latke.
@canyouhandelit @JewWhoHasItAll It is very weird to insist that a Christian religious holiday brings any of those feelings to people who are not Christian
