@ jumblr  

making lists for the moon colony now.

I’m in.

Pls

Me!

The moon needs some kinky Sephardim like me and @ariminak ! 

Is it possible to convert on the moon or will I have to convert before joining the colony?

oh heck, there’s a thought. how’re we going about building our mikveh? i’d advise finalising your conversion on earth for simplicity’s sake but this needs serious consideration. we might need to rethink some thinks. martian colony, perhaps?

there’s water on neptune, right? just build a really really long pipe. foolproof.

Greek/Roman mythology is not a good reference for trying to determine whether there is water on a planet. I volunteer to open up the chabad house in the colony… Because, you know, wherever jews live, there has to be a chabad house.

How about we build an atmosphere (this is important!) and divert some comets so that they’ll burn up in it, and thus we’ll end up with rainwater, and eventually mikvehs won’t be a difficult problem?

Or am I missing something in the requirements? After all, if we can build mikveh in big cities, I’m sure we can find a way on the Moon or Mars. Mars might be easier though (for this particular issue)…

The question of the century : is artificially generated rainfall in a biodome considered rainfall or mayim shuvim…?

Well, let’s start simpler. What about rainfall from cloud seeding? That may have come up somewhere and seems like a solid precedent.

Do not fear brave Zionists:

I’m having one of those “I really love Jews” moments

The goyim think that biblical law is old and busted. And we’re debating how you would mikvah on the moon. RIBONO SHEL OLAM LOOK AT YOUR PEOPLE! EVEN IF THEY GET DRIVEN OFF THE PLANET EARTH THEY’LL STILL FIND A WAY TO KEEP YOUR MITZVOS!

In other news, how would kiddush levana work?

Does it depend on which celestial body we end up on? Do we definitely have to bless this moon? If we ended up on Jupiter would we have to bless all 67 because I’m not sure how we’d ever have time to get anything else done?

I’m in for the moon colony. Quick question though which astronaut are we designating as our sell Matzah to/Shabbat goy? 

Also does this mean we are going to be building a Noah Ark type thing to bring kosher animals to the moon because if so that is fucken awesome.

since taking physical animals to the moon would require a lot of fuel and resources, would bioengineered meat be considered kosher? because that would take a lot less fuel to get to the moon

We will definitely need to at least farm-raise salmon though.  Ashkenazi survival is actually totally dependent on if there is bagel & lox available.

Which minhag would hold sway – would it depend on local population majority, or geosynchronous location vis-a-vis the original Earthbound populations? Like, if the moon is closer to Earth’s magnetic north, we’d use the Ashkenazi minhag, but if we were east of magnetic north (again from a Terran geo-standard) the Mizrahi minhag would be followed?

Is the Lunershul LGBT friendly?

Asking for a friend.

OK, so a lot of friends ready to leave the planet. Some may be very willing to put in time as a shabbes goy/ chameitz broker.
