The word “sin” is a powerful, emotional, religious term that has nothing to do with Judaism. Don’t let a bad translation inform your beliefs. Fire the translator and find out what the words really mean. 🐐 [THREAD] 🧵👇👇

Between 800,000 and one million Jews were forced from their homes in Arab lands throughout North Africa and the Middle East at the time of Israel's war of independence in 1948. Those Jewish refugees were absorbed by their host countries, with the majority settling in Israel🧵👇

The Jewish prayer book may use the word “sin,” but it’s a bad translation. Whoever translated the prayer book was trying to sound religious. 'Sin' may feel right in context, but it's not a good translation. [THREAD 👇]

The Torah doesn't call Jewish people "Jews." That term was applied later in history. An early example is Mordecai, who lived in ancient Persia (modern-day Iran!!) about 1000 years after Moses. His tribal affiliation is Benjamin, but he's called "Mordecai the Jew." [🧵👇👇👇]

The Talmud says (Avot 3:2) "Pray for the welfare of the government, for without its authority, man would swallow his fellow alive." A great ruler keeps the peace, and provides an insight into how to live your life. Appreciating that should impact your decisions as well. 🧵👇
