I want more Jewish protagonists who have nothing to do with the Holocaust. Let us have cool powers and prophecies and regular lives and /stories/. Rabbis who fight Cthulu or something idk.

Judaism doesn’t begin and end with our persecution.

@bethagain‘s superb tags for this:

#omg THANK YOU#this#plus if I have to hear about one more fictionalized Holocaust story#my people’s nightmare is not your Academy Award fodder#and it is NOT entertainment#bring on the Cthulhu fighting rabbis!#post-apocalyptic minyans!#cozy mystery stories set around a neighborhood synagogue full of quirky characters#romances that don’t involve Jewish Doctors that Your Mother Will Love#maybe Jewish plumbers and car mechanics#or idk ballet dancers#cave
explorers who lose track of the days and get into a huge fight 1000
meters below the ground about whether tonight is shabbos#astronauts sneaking mezuzahs onto spaceships and sticking them up next to the airlocks#passover on a pirate ship#superheroes who keep kosher#and have to juggle crime fighting with helping their kids study for their bar and bat mitzvahs#practicing their haftorah with them in the shadow of the bat-signal#a super-villain who decides to convert#and the rabbi makes them apologize for their crimes and start doing mitzvahs before she’ll even consider it#because supervillain and tikun olam are pretty much polar opposites#and that’s how the rabbi from the little shul on the corner ends up saving the whole city#so yeah#bring on the Jewish protagonists!
