♥A Work In Progress♥

Hii, I'm Dahreen!! :3 שלום קוראים לי דאחרין

Lives in Derrière, Licorne.

My life is dedicated to peace, justice, and the pursuit of being cute as heck!

Cis. Straight. African-descent. 16.

Deeply spiritual (i.e. Christian xD) and like I'm told to do, I love eveeerrryone (in other words, I don't bite.)

I'm learning Hebrew (for personal reasons) and Spanish (for practical reasons) and I want to learn ASL in the future.

My blog consists of social justice, pro-feminism, linguistics (Hebrew/Arabic/whatever looks interesting, I love languages *.*), anything cute, occasional fandom posts (mostly Dr. Who, mostly), and other things. ^w^

I don't know if any other blogs do this, but I also remove/censor out profanity, and if I reblog something with curse words I put a trigger warning. I also do the same thing with ableist words. :P

Thanks for reading! *hugs*

I FOUND THE AFIKOMEN AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS AWESOME BAG!
Passover (Pesach) is on it’s way. You can almost hear it coming around the bend. And with Passover comes a variety of ‘supplies’ that help us to re-enact and celebrate the Jews’ exodus from ancient Egypt. Part of that comes at the end of the Seder (that holiday’s special meal) with the search for the afikomen, the piece of matzah that’s broken off from one of the blessed pieces at the beginning of the meal and hidden away. In my family, prizes for finding the afikomen have included umbrellas, a thumb drive, stuffed frogs, and probably a box of Matzah.
This plastic afikomen bag was issued as a fundraiser for the Home for Incurable Invalids in Jerusalem. The image on the bag was the product of the well-known mid-century artist Siegmund Forst. Many people experienced the art of Siegmund Forst through designs for charitable giveaways such as this one.

OUR MATZAH IS SHOWING
The round shape of this matzah cover reminds us that the shape of matzah changed from the handmade round matzahs, which are expensive and usually you only see on the plates of very observant Jews, to the more common and convenient square we know today, as technological improvements such as mechanization and came to the Kosher food industry. concerns took over the industry.
