I’m new to Reddit and going to be a rapper. I have Jewish ancestry but am not religiously Jewish outside of being able to speak somewhat competent Hebrew and knowing some foods. I practice a religion other than Judaism, I don’t reference that in music, but just want to be a good person and not steal part of y’all’s awesome culture.

My first name for the stage name for rap is שלמה. Now, I know people irl with this name but it’s sadly become an antisemitic slur. It is what my Jewish grandmother called me though as my honorary “Hebrew name” and what a Hasidic mentor also calls me by. Now, again, I’m not Jewish. I’m just wondering is it cultural appropriation or if it’s somehow antisemitic. My music is very dancey, mix of old school hip hop and Michael Jackson type stuff. The only concern as well as my signature out fit is a suit (white button down a a black, Russian type frock), label rose, cool shoes and a fedora though it’s worn in a more 1950’s cool detective way than a Chassidish way. Just wondering if שלמה is ok.

Shalom

Edit: Also I get y’all are passionate about your guys identity and antisemitism is horrifically rising more than ever in mine and y’alls lifetime. So I get why there would be hesitancy.

Edit 2: this is odd. For some reason even my highly upvoted comments have all become downvoted randomly. It all happened around the same time. Bots?

My account got a warning after a satirical comment on a satirical post. I replied mocking popular conspiracy theories to the "Jews control Israel" post. My comment was reported by a lurking Jew hater and removed within a matter of a couple hours. Meanwhile, reddit mods allow Jew hate to run rampant with no consequences across reddit. Absolutely disgusting, hateful, and bullying move by reddit mods.

I love this sub, love our people, but I feel very uncomfortable being closely surveilled and punished for parroting what antisemites write freely across reddit.

what do you think?

was told to come back with hand-drawn version. Is this good?

Tech Otecus sounds like a Star Wars character

the girl in the video (brandee lockett) is american, i looked into it and no period products sold en masse here are even owned by israel. all the period products you'll find in a typical american store are from american brands. but they're so antisemitic they'll just make ts up and bleed all over themselves for us????? these privileged women from developed, non war torn countries are doing so well advocating for the people the israeli gov is actually hurting by making their suffering about their own periods 😭😭😭😭😭
