why are jewish people obsessed with mahjong???

this was my first time ever making a short lil video essay like this and I’m so happy to see the response!! if there are any other topics people are interested in, DMs are open ^.^

yeah lady chess or whatever

Great video. My mom taught my sister and I how to play around age 7 or 8. But she taught us the chinese rules first by taking us to a local Chinese place at 230 in the afternoon several days in a row and they let us play with them. It was awesome to learn back then.

:,) that’s so sweet and it’s great you first learned it the original way!!

Can confirm, my Jewish grandma loves mahjong

she sounds hot

You’re really just making this nonsense?

it took me many many many hours of editing and making graphics by hand and not relying on AI and i think it’s neat :)

This is great! I would watch a million of these

:,) thank you so much, i really appreciate that

Thank you video essayist @1929stockcrash

huh super interesting. my jewish mom has played mah jong since the 80s!

Chinese x Jewish culture

Even if the Chinese invented mahjong I heard the J birds were promised it thousands of years ago 🤷🏿‍♂️ also wasn’t there like 6 million Jewish mahjong champions from over 109 countries who got exiled for no reason? The more you know! 🌈🔥

japanese and japanese american erasure they were in the game before jewish americans

i never knew the deep lore

TIL

I inherited an antique Chinese ivory set from my great grandmother 💅

Brb sending this to all the women in my family

sounds like they should start a mahjong club 👀

Every time we get together as a family

amazing and informative! your editing is great and you're such a lovely speaker.

This is so fun! Great piece!

Thank you!

GREATER ISRAEL NOW

another w for jewish women

name one thing that's distinctly Jewish... it's apparently not majong. I'm beginning to think even Abraham, Issac, Jacob, and Judah were appropriated history, culture, people and ancestry... oh wait it was 😅 you guys are eastern European proselytes going only back to 200ad.

Can you show me your editing tl later tho

yes!! ty for letting me use the set as my editing workshop 😭😭

Banger

It was actually 6 billion

cover your chest,

Another reason for me to learn so I can hang w Jewish aunties :)

@arash_tehran My mom made my siblings and I learn to play and would go to a weekly Shabbos game after shul

Became aware of this affinity from Allan Sherman's "Shticks and Stones" -- what a talent!

Just sent this to my friend who has just joined a mahjong club in TLV. All young women!

Be modest shiksa bitch

i’ve personally done 21 days without food i’ve heard you can do 40 stop being a pussy or die

loved!

😭 thank you!!!

Could you move the subtitles to the top of the video next time, please?

Huh, I was wondering! 😁 My synagogue recently started having mahjong nights. I was like "Glad they're having fun, whatever" but it seemed a little random. Not so random, I guess.

Can you slow down a bit please?
