Noam sits down in LA with actor, Jewish advocate and fellow podcast host, Jonah Platt, to talk about identity, Israel, Hollywood, and why October 7 turned him into what he calls an “October 8th activist.” Jonah reflects on his Jewish upbringing, the rising fear around Jewish identity, and why he now proudly wears a Magen David. They dig into what Hollywood gets right (and wrong) about Jewish stories, why so few celebrities speak up for Israel, and how to navigate tough conversations using Jonah’s “Five C’s.”

Jonah Platt is the host of Being Jewish with Jonah Platt. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

This episode was recorded in Los Angeles prior to the Unpacking Israeli History Roadshow. Mijal will be back next week.
