My dog slept on the couch in the living room because I turned the air conditioner on and he is afraid of it
I usually don't open it due to that reason
But tonight was too hot and I had to make the sacrifice of him not wanting to be in my room
He isn't mentally well
He is scared of a lot of stuff
Well some loud noises seems to be ok for him so I'm guessing it has to do with frequencies too
He is very sensitive
Not like me, I'm a rock to him
I can tolerate all of the noises
Yes and it is very new
And he felt that way about it since the start
wtf
Happy Shavuot by the way
to everyone
Just eat dairy products
Basically
I don't even know what the holiday is about
But I think it's very religious for some reason
For the orthodox
it was over the weekend
Maybe that's what it meant?
no, that's not it
It's due to Yom tov sheni shel galuyot
"The need for a second festival day arises from problems encountered by Jews living in the Diaspora following the Babylonian exile. The Jewish calendar, is a lunar system with months of 29 or 30 days. In Temple times, the length of the month depended on witnesses who had seen the new moon coming to the Temple in Jerusalem. Following confirmation of their evidence, a new Jewish month would be proclaimed. News of this proclamation was subsequently sent out to all Jewish communities. If no witnesses arrived, the new month was proclaimed the following day. Those communities who didn't receive word of the precise date of the beginning of the new month by the time of a festival, would keep the festival for two days, to account for the eventuality the new month wasn't proclaimed only the following day."
It is very weird, yes
I don't get how they would know to have a festival with no witnesses in the first place
They had an approximation of how long it is supposed to take for the new moon to get to Jerusalem?
I wonder if they actually bothered to make astronomical observations to gauge that
And the witness was just supposed to confirm it
I'm talking about the new moon arriving to Jerusalem relative to their location
why dairy?
Most of these explanations seem super contrived to me
It was probably just a figure of authority who really liked dairy asked his rabbis to come up with a theological reason
Same for the partying for two days
ashkenazi is basically european jew
Not including Spain
nah
I don't think the differences are that big and they weren't in a position to have fights geographically and militarily
Even extreme orthodox Jews seem to be mostly militant about their personal space, not about other people breaking their version of Jewish law
