An actual Paskesz on how to pronounce.
@DBashIdeas @a_a_viswanath I feel uniquely overqualified to answer this one, seeing how it is LITERALLY my X username. Oh… and also MY FREAKING LAST NAME in real life. 😊. The correct answer is “POSH-kiss”, but the “POSH” part has more of a “PAH” sound - like a Hebrew letter pey with a patach underneath.

This was a wow episode with someone I have only recently learned about—Rachel Ebner. Her recent @mosaicabooks on Rav Kook is unreal and her personal perspective is honest and uplifting.
Today, on Rav Kook’s yahrzeit, we turn to his vision of teshuva and spirituality. Rachel Tova Ebner speaks about Rav Kook’s call for deeper inner work, our yearning for God, and how his Torah helps us return to ourselves. Listen here:

I also happen to be a big fan of the Agudah Siyum logo but it’s newer so I’m not so attached to it.

What Jewish logo would you freak out about if they changed? Mine is for sure Paskesz.
