  • Here is a dvar Torah on parsha Vayera Bereshit/Genesis 18.1-22.24 which is the parsha that includes the story of Sodom & Gomorrah.

    You should read the whole dvar Torah if you are interested, I found it to be good. But here are some choice excerpts about the sin of Sodom & Gomorrah - they were cruel and selfish, and inhospitable to guests and the poor & less fortunate. One can find common parallels with modern USA cruelty today. I wrote a huge cracked out essay about this on Hexbear once but I can't find it, I'll link it if I do.

    In our contemporary lexicon, the phrase “Sodom and Gomorrah” has become synonymous with extreme depravity and immorality, with a particularly sexual connotation. Within the narrative in Bereshit it would seem that sexual immorality is only part of the evil of Sodom. Contrary to popular usage it is also clear from the reading of the narrative that it is not homosexuality that is the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah (though Jerry Falwell and others might disagree).

    The people of Sodom did demand that Lot (Abraham and Sarah’s nephew) hand over the strangers in their house (actually messengers of God sent to tell Lot of the impending doom) so that “we may know them,” which is clearly a sexual reference in terms of biblical Hebrew. However, what makes them sinful according to our Sages is not sexual desire or lust, but rather their desire to abuse and humiliate other human beings because they are strangers in their midst. The two messengers could just has easily have been women and the people’s response would have been the same.

    The Sages teach us that only the wealthy were welcome as guests in Sodom. The poor were to be expelled or killed.

    In his book of Torah commentary Jewish Values in an Open Society, the economist and business ethicist Meir Tamari writes about the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah as the sin of “Economic Egoism.” He reminds us that according to our Sages the greed and desire for wealth on the part of the residents was insatiable. Anyone who got in their way, such as a poor person who might ask for some of their money or food, was expendable. All common human decencies were anathema to the Sodomites.

  • There's a single line from a character that is explicitly shown to not have great takes.

    I like the show so far, and it doesn't seem to be anticommunist any more than most US TV.

    I say this as someone who stopped watching Stranger Things many years ago because it was anticommunist slop fare.

    We'll see how the first season shakes out, but I am having a lot of fun watching this show and I dont see anything that would make me write it off just yet.

    To anyone reading this thread and having doubts, watch the show for yourself and be the judge. I don't think you'll have a bad time watching.
