I appreciate you, I actually didn't know that set of books could be referred to as the Tanakh. I knew calling it the Torah would be a bit of an overstep.
Even if Christians claim it as part of their religion and have been appropriating it for "2000 years", it's still neither right nor accurate. I view it as further attempts to make Christianity seem more like the right choice and ease conversion for Jews which really really REALLY bothers me. It's right up there with calling Jews white. We're not.
Whether we're white or not depends on how convenient it is for someone else 🤣
I live in a very Jew-friendly area so thankfully nobody's attempting outright conversions, but there's always the consistent commentary of Christianity being the default that just hits be the wrong way.
