never not side eyeing the older bros who planned and carried out this whole cruel situation!

I really like your videos they’re very entertaining I must admit however that I disagree with you on several points. Would love to discuss them with you if you’d be open to it😊

[@brookechang4942]

This video title has such a Harry Potter feel to it. Except, y'know, without all of Joanne's shitty transphobia. I would love to hear the story of Serach correcting the sages on how the parting of the Red Sea went down, if only for the novelty of Talmudic sages listening to a woman's lived experience. I know it's happened with the boyfriend excuse and not making women wait for food assistance, but we need more! Is there any definitive answer as to where and when Serach was taken into heaven? If not, I'd like to think she swapped her lyre out for a guitar and is a musician even today.

[@MiriamAnzovin]

I like to think she’s the one who taught David to play the lyre! And I will absolutely be telling story of how she informed Rabbi Yochanan (!) he was wrong! There are several versions I believe of her going to heaven story - among some Persian Jews there is a tradition she really did die there eventually in a fire, thousands of years after her birth, but others hold she ascended from there. I’ll have to explore all the stories!

[@brookechang4942]

@@MiriamAnzovin I like to think Rabbi Yochanan would take it better than most sages-as long as she wasn't trying to give him beauty tips!

[@MiriamAnzovin]

I’m pretty sure he would ask her privately what serum she was using to preserve her skin like that 😂

[@brookechang4942]

@@MiriamAnzovin Knowing him, he'd probably bribe her with his lash serum!

Brooke, I am always so gratified you remember my favorite jokes :) thank you!
