About This EpisodeDaniel 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 JonasDaniel Jonas has Iraqi-Indian Sephardi heritage and brings a background in corporate innovation and interfaith dialogue to his engagement with Jewish tradition.
