Podcast: Habits and HustlePublished On: Tue Oct 08 2024
Description: What happens when a Black NFL analyst and an Israeli activist sit down to have uncomfortable conversations about Judaism and antisemitism? Check out this episode of Habits and Hustle to find out. I am joined by Emmanuel Acho and Noah Tishby to discuss their New York Times bestselling book "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew." We delve into challenging topics like the perception of Jewish people in America, the rise of antisemitism, and the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We also discuss that having open, honest dialogue - even when uncomfortable - is crucial for building understanding between different communities.
