EP 7: A Crossroads of Jewishness: A Living Tradition (with Yishaq Ben Dorit) House of Neshama

- Judaïsme
In this episode, Isa and Ariel are joined by a very special guest, Yishaq Ben Dorit! Yishaq is a published writer as well a proud student of religion, history, and philosophy. They are also someone who is especially dedicated to the struggles and transformations of non-Ashkenazim, Jews of Color as well as non-Rabbinics.
They dive into multiple topics such as Jewish diaspora history, the importance of oral storytelling traditions, and the need to challenge ashkenormativity. You’ll also get to hear about the ways much of their inspiration and pride in their Ethiopian heritage and Beta Israel identity stemmed from their family and teachers along their path.
Having been raised by a family of teachers and storytellers, not only is educating others about Jewishness important to them, but so is continuing with one’s relationship to Jewishness outside of the classroom and scripture. So, it’s no surprise that Yishaq certainly plants important seeds in this interview and drops gems that we hope everyone truly sits and grapples with.
You can check out Yishaq’s work here:
“What is Black Judaism?” (explores the diversity of Black Jewry)
“Ashkenormativity Is a Threat to All Jewish Communities” : Ethiopian Jews like myself have faced racism from within the Jewish community for far too long.
“It’s Hard to Celebrate Sigd Knowing My Ethiopian Family Is in Danger
How the Jewish Holidays Helped Me Deal with the Trauma of This Year
