On Monday, we'll be hosting voice-over actor Mike Pollock for an AMA!

If youโ€™re of a certain age, he might be the voice of your childhood. Along with the pictured characters, he's also done commercial work forย IHOP,ย Hooters,ย Naked Juice, andย Snapchat, to name just a few. When he's not behind the mic, he's angering a select few on social media by advocating for the safe return of the October 7th hostages, and asserting Israelโ€™s right to exist and defend herself, all because he's been Jewish his whole life.

Mike will make his AMA post on Sunday evening (Eastern Time) and answer questions on Monday in the afternoon & evening.

Discussion ๐Ÿ’ฌ Blue Collar Jews

343 Upvotes

Since Jews, at least in the diaspora, usually get characterized as having college education and well paying professional jobs, I gotta ask- where are my blue collar Jews at?

Iโ€™m talking plumbers, janitors, masters of the custodial arts, general contractors, etc.

Are people shocked to learn you work with your hands and not at a desk?

My MIL gets shocked when she learns I used to build stuff and clean stuff up.

The Jews abducted by Hamas militants have been held underground for 445 days without any visits from the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, the United Nations, or any other humanitarian organization. This is a situation that the Jewish people will not forget.

Donโ€™t get turned off by the producers (the Communist Party) but listen to what the interviewee says. This is a war between right wing regimes. The two-state solution is right there but the ruling classes only benefit from perpetual war. Marxist historian Norman Moscowitz bring us from the birth of Zionism (which was nurtured by countries like Communist Czechloslavakia) and its socialist dream to the current administrat ion, with can only cobble its power by bending to the furthest right parties in the country. On the other side he retells how the Palestinian leaders picked the wrong side in both world wars and ended up with now agency. I donโ€™t agree with that everything he says obv because Iโ€™m capitalist who thinks religion is the last thing from the opiate of the masses โ€” but the factual information is spot on. I was expecting him demonize all Zionists but heโ€™s actually quite balanced (for a Red).

Questions ๐Ÿค“ Am I Jewish if I don't believe in God?

18 Upvotes

My family isn't particularly religious, (my mother and brother are non religious, and my father is Jewish, goes to Temple, but doesn't try to make the rest of my family Jewish.)

In the last year or so, I've been embracing Judaism more. (I've been going to Temple, reading the translated Torah, trying to learn Hebrew, celebrating Hanukkah, etc).

However, how ever much I try, I can't convince myself to believe in God, or anything that goes against science (trust me I want to and try to believe.)

Am I Jewish? I'm confused. I want to believe, but I can't.
