I get why a Christian would find Unitarianism appealing. I don't get why people from other backgrounds would want to attend a literal Church on literal Sundays, with none of the music or pageantry or cannibalism of a traditional mass.

If you center Black Jews and Jews of Color in your thinking about Judaism/Jewishness, you can begin to piece together how anti-Judaism and antisemitism led to the creation of White Supremacy, but more importantly, you can begin to piece together an overarching theory of Diasporic studies that includes Jewish history AND the African Diaspora, you see the falseness of distinctions between peoples, which is to say the falseness of borders, and the richness of points of contact.

We jokingly say "between the three of us we equal one adult" but really it's just that no one can know everything and communal living makes for more resilient people.

The Jews expelled from Spain are the ancestors of today's Sephardic Jews, from Hebrew "sefarad", meaning Spain.

a fun fact in honor of Indigenous People's Day: Columbus was sent on his voyage essentially as a celebration of the Reconquista. Spain wanted to flex its muscles in new ways now that they had finished killing, expelling, or converting the remains of al-Andalus, and Columbus was a beneficiary of that.
