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.



About Daniel Jonas

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’).
