How familiar are you with the history of Jewish communities in Arab countries?
I recently came across a thoughtful video from David and History for the Ages, a history professor, exploring the history of Jewish communities in the Arab World. It is a topic that is often overlooked in mainstream historical narratives. Thought it may be helpful for you all to take a look.

What does it take to build a billion-dollar empire from nothing?
Harley Finkelstein — President of Shopify, grandchild of Holocaust survivors, and one of Canada's most unapologetically proud Jews — sat down with Jonah and gave us one of the most powerful episodes we've ever recorded. 🎙️
He talked about the moment protesters tried to drown out his speech at the opening of a Chabad Centre he'd promised to build 18 years earlier as a broke law student. He talked about why staying "below the radar" is no longer an option for Jewish people. And he broke down the single word that connects every great Jewish entrepreneur he's ever interviewed.
That word? Grit.
This one hit different. Full episode is live now. 👇

Hey friends — Jonah stopped by CNN’s The Story Is to share some of what we’ve been hearing in our conversations on the Being Jewish Podcast.
We talked about how many Jewish Americans — especially Persian Jews in Los Angeles — are thinking about the Iran conflict, rising antisemitism, and the complicated political moment our community is navigating.
