About This Episode
Daniel Jonas (guest from S2) got in touch having listened to every episode of "Who Jew Think You Are?"
He had questions - 4 of them - just in time for Passover.
Questions about the assumptions and biases Eylan has, and what he’s learned from two seasons of conversations.
This is the result: an episode where the host becomes the guest, and is held to account for views on faith, Zionism and liberal values; testing blindspots, and exploring together the evolving sense of what a broader Jewish identity can mean.
Daniel Jonas has Iraqi-Indian Sephardi heritage and brings a background in corporate innovation and interfaith dialogue to his engagement with Jewish tradition. He thinks seriously about Judaism as a legal and ethical framework, and about what honest inquiry requires. He appeared in Season 2 (S2E3: ‘Everything needs to change’).
- The assumptions baked into the podcast
- Jewish essentialism: if everything can be Jewish, is anything Jewish?
- Zionism: what the word still means, and where Eylan actually stands
- Does this podcast matter?
- The Guide for the Perplexed Maimonides. Daniel cites it as the origin of honest inquiry within Judaism
- Rabbi Louis Jacobs ‘Judaism does not have a systematic theology’
- The Lindy Effect
- Monty Python’s Life of Brian ‘the most Jewish film ever made’
- S2E4 Unity Through Diversity (Dr Isaac Amon)
- S2E6 Dream and Still Rise (Michael Lomotey)
- S2E2 A Persian Perspective on Nationalism and Identity (Professor Yaacov Yadgar)
- S1E9 British Black Jews (Kenneth Awele Okafor)
