About this episode

Ateret Violet Shmuel shares her transformative journey from radical left-wing activism to embracing her Jewish identity.

Few personal journeys are as unexpected — or as powerful. Once immersed in radical left-wing activism and the world of ANTIFA, Ateret wrestled deeply with identity, ideology, and what it meant to be a Jew in spaces that often demanded rejecting Jewish peoplehood and Zionism. But something changed her mind without affecting her liberal heart. Join us to find out what it was and how it has completely transformed her life. Ateret is founder and director of Indigenous Bridges, a nonprofit focused on connecting Indigenous communities globally.
