Matthew Nouriel Always Had Shabbat
About this episode
Mijal interviews Matthew Nouriel about his multifaceted identity and the importance of community acceptance.
There are many words to describe influencer and activist Matthew Nouriel: Persian, Jewish, Gay, Zionist... But when you belong to so many different communities, do you really belong anywhere at all? As Mijal discovers, Matthew's answer is an emphatic "yes." His Mizrahi family may have struggled to accept him, but they never left him behind. Now, Matthew is using his voice to encourage Jews of all kinds to make that same embrace.Learn more about JIMENA by visiting https://www.jimena.org/Mijal's study for JIMENA is at https://sephardicstudy.org/ Get in touch at WonderingJews@unpacked.media.
