We can’t stop protesting or demanding change in #Israel.
And there’s more we must do at home - to do the work of #AntiRacism

If we won’t face injustice within, how can we ask for justice from others?

Halfway through Season 2, one thing’s clear:
Jewish identity isn’t just European.
Never was.

India, Iran, the Ottoman Empire, the Americas, Africa: these aren’t side stories. They’re the centre.

5 episodes. 5 erased histories.
Catch up now.

We’re halfway through Season 2 of Who Jew Think You Are?, and already, a few big themes have emerged — not because I planned them, but because they kept showing up.

The Star of David is iconic part of Judaism.
But it might not be originally Jewish.
It shows up in Indian geometry 500 years earlier.
Sacred maths. Shared Histories. Global diaspora.

As war ruins lives there, few realise that thousands of Jews still live in #Iran, part of an ancient community.

Hear their story from someone from the community, and a perspective on the fault lines in Israeli society.
