In this episode of Voices 4 Peace, Pastor Peter Pettit speaks with Rabbi Tarlan Rabizadeh of American Jewish University about her experience as the daughter of Iranian Jewish immigrants, her Persian Jewish heritage, and the growing hope for a free Iran.
Together they explore the realities of the Iranian regime, the relationship between Iran and Israel, and why many Iranians, both inside and outside the country, long for change. It’s a conversation about identity, faith, freedom, and the complicated future of the Middle East.
