    Jonah Does CNN and KIND Founder Daniel Lubetzky

    17/03/2026 | 1h 11 mins.
    Jonah interviews Daniel Lubetzky, Mexican-American Jewish founder of KIND, Shark Tank investor, and longtime bridge-builder, about how his Holocaust-survivor father and Mexican Jewish upbringing shaped his commitment to connecting communities. Lubetzky describes mourning his father, saying Kaddish, and launching both KIND and the OneVoice Movement the same year, crediting prayer and purpose with keeping him grounded. He explains PeaceWorks, a trade-based social enterprise linking Israelis and Arabs (and later other conflict regions), which succeeded in sustaining relationships but never scaled and ultimately closed. He recounts OneVoice’s effort to empower moderates against media-driven extremism, mobilizing nearly a million Israelis and Palestinians, yet falling short of ending the conflict. Lubetzky outlines his latest project, the Builders Movement, and its “builders vs. destroyers” framework, its education, media, and civics work, and argues kindness is strong, honest action.

    Lubetzky reflects on the impact of reciting Kaddish after his father’s death and how Jewish ritual shaped his worldview.
    The founding story behind KIND Bars and why Lubetzky named the company after his father’s values.
    Lubetzky’s first social enterprise PeaceWorks, connecting Israelis, Palestinians, Jordanians, Egyptians, and Turks through trade.
    How PeaceWorks also operated in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, and Chiapas, Mexico to foster cooperation across conflict lines.
    The creation of the OneVoice Movement, which mobilized nearly 1 million Israelis and Palestinians around shared peace principles.
    Why Lubetzky believes media narratives often amplify extremists instead of moderates in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
    Launching the Builders Movement, a global initiative promoting cooperation over division.
    The Builders Movement framework built around the “Four Cs”: Curiosity, Compassion, Creativity, and Courage.
    Educational partnerships with institutions such as Stanford University to promote builder-mindset leadership programs.
    Collaboration with leaders like Van Jones to strengthen alliances between Jewish and Black communities.

  • Being Jewish with Jonah Platt

    On Location with Ethiopian-Jewish Chef and Restaurateur Beejhy Barhany

    10/03/2026 | 1h
    In this delectable episode of Being Jewish with Jonah Platt, Jonah records on location in Harlem, New York, at Tsion Café, America’s only Ethiopian-Israeli restaurant, for a conversation with owner and chef Beejhy Barhany about Ethiopian Jewish (Beta Israel) culture, food, and identity. Beejhy explains Tsion Café’s mission of bridge-building through vegan kosher cuisine and storytelling, and why she recently closed daily dining and now hosts only private events, due to years of anti-Zionist harassment, threats, and vandalism that intensified after October 7 and after becoming fully kosher. She discusses Harlem’s support, her meaning of “Zion,” and her belief that food can break barriers. Beejhy discusses Beta Israel’s unique history, questions of legitimacy, her family’s 1980–83 trek from Ethiopia to Israel, and experiences of discrimination and “conversion” pressures in Israel.

    Walking through the café, Beejhy shares the venue's legacy and culinary inspirations with Jonah. The two head into the kitchen to make samosas, discuss injera, dabo, spices, and her NY Times bestselling cookbook (Gursha). During the discussion, she describes founding the BINA (Beta Israel of North America) Cultural Foundation and raising her children with multifaceted identities.

    TOPICS INCLUDE:

    The story of the Beta Israel Jewish community of Ethiopia and their ancient connection to Judaism.
    Beejhy recounts her family’s escape from Ethiopia and years spent in Sudan before immigrating to Israel.
    Discussion of major Ethiopian Jewish airlifts, including Operation Moses and Operation Solomon.
    Life in immigrant absorption centers in Israel alongside newcomers from Ukraine and Russia.
    The role of Tsion Cafe as a cultural hub for Ethiopian Jews and the wider Jewish diaspora.
    Why Beejhy founded the Beta Israel North American Cultural Foundation (BINA) to promote Jewish diversity.
    The closing of Tsion Cafe’s regular dining service due to anti-Zionist harassment following October 7.
    Conversations about racism, identity, and the need for unity within the global Jewish community.
    How Ethiopian cuisine, such as traditional dishes served with injera, helps build cultural bridges.
    Reflections on raising multicultural Jewish children in New York City.
    The importance of celebrating Jewish diversity across communities from Israel to Africa and the United States.

    Is Israel an Ethnostate? And the 2026 Israeli Olympic Bobsled Team

    03/03/2026 | 1h 12 mins.
    In this inspiring episode of Being Jewish with Jonah Platt, Jonah sits down with members of the Israeli Bobsled Team (AJ Edelman, Ward Fawarsy, Uri Zisman, Ower Katz, Itamar Shprinz, and Menashem Chen) while in competition in Milano Crotina, to discuss the unlikely journey of building a team for a Winter Olympic sport in a country with no snow. Representing Israel on the global stage, the athletes share how they transitioned from backgrounds in track and field, rugby, crossfit, and other sports into elite bobsled competitors. They discuss training and competing internationally, and navigating the challenges of representing Israel amid rising antisemitism following October 7. Their story is a wild one with robberies, getting booed, a death on a plane, and missing critical training runs.

    The conversation explores patriotism, Jewish pride, and the emotional weight of wearing the Israeli flag at global events sanctioned by the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation (IBSF) and the Winter Olympics. The athletes reflect on the powerful symbolism of Israeli athletes competing on the world stage and the importance of positive representation for Israel in international sports.

    Jonah and AJ Edelman, captain of the Israeli Bobsled Team, get some one-on-one time to dig into the team's challenges and the role of the Israeli Olympic Committee. Edelman details self-funding, starting a nonprofit to support the team, and hopes to grow the program.

    Topics Discussed Include:
    Competing in sanctioned events under the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation (IBSF) circuit
    Qualification pathways toward the Winter Olympics
    Being champion athletes from other sport disciplines
    The nickname “Shul Runnings”
    Having a Druze athlete on the team
    Training in the U.S.-based tracks in Lake Placid, New York, and Park City, Utah
    The measure of success is how far you’ve come, not how close you are to the top
    The mechanics of a two-man and four-man bobsled under IBSF regulations
    Putting together an “Ocean’s Eleven” team for bobsled
    Funding challenges and support from the Israeli Olympic Committee
    How to support the team in the future

    L’Dor V’adorable is Back! And American-Israeli Cookbook Author Adeena Sussman

    24/02/2026 | 1h 3 mins.
    In this delicious episode of Being Jewish with Jonah Platt, Jonah sits down with New York Times bestselling cookbook author and Tel Aviv-based food writer Adeena Sussman for a conversation about food, culture, and the rituals of living in Israel today. Living steps from the Carmel Market, Adeena paints a vivid portrait of daily life in Tel Aviv, how Israelis continue daily routines amid rocket alarms, and what it means to compartmentalize in a country where normalcy and uncertainty coexist.
    Adeena reflects on feeling like an insider-outsider as an “American Israeli,” and how the shuk itself mirrors Israel’s layered religious and cultural diversity. She shares how October 7 transformed her Shabbat cookbook tour into community-centered gatherings and fundraisers, and why she views cookbooks as narrative literature that provide cultural context. She also speaks candidly about her responsibility in culinary storytelling, documenting Yemenite, Iraqi, Moroccan, and broader Middle Eastern Jewish cuisines while crediting provenance and seeking permission for adaptations.
    Jonah and Adeena also explore her path to co-authoring cookbooks with a number of chefs and celebrities including Chrissy Teigen, her Substack (including a viral post after attending Hersh Goldberg-Polin’s funeral), and the personal accountability she feels towards readers who bring her recipes into their homes. The episode covers her family history and Shabbat hospitality, including her mother Steffi’s influence, and what makes food suitable for Shabbat. Adeena introduces her upcoming cookbook “Zuriz” (“quick”), a collection of 100 one-page recipes designed for real life. This conversation doesn’t just talk about food as sustenance, but as a means of storytelling and connection.

    Topics Include:
    Adeena Sussman’s move from New York City to Tel Aviv
    Becoming one of today’s most influential voices in Israeli cuisine
    Writing Sababa and Shabbat cookbooks
    Living with Chrissy Teigen and John Legend

    17/02/2026 | 1h 10 mins.
    In this delightful and hilarious episode of Being Jewish with Jonah Platt, comedian Modi Rosenfeld opens up about faith, fame, identity, and building unity through Jewish comedy. Recently named one of The Hollywood Reporter’s Top 10 New York Comedians, Modi discusses what it means to be a proudly Jewish comedian in today’s cultural climate, and why laughter is his path to creating what he calls “Messianic energy.”

Modi also reveals how COVID, Zoom shows, and social media transformed his career into a global brand with audiences in Israel, Europe, and beyond.

    With humor and heart, this episode explores Judaism, comedy, Israel, identity, and the power of laughter to bring people together in divided times.
