Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Ashamed to Admit (recorded prior to war breaking out between Israel and Iran) Tami and Dash unpack Lee Kofman’s essay about the phenomenon of Jews being perceived as white; the complexity, nuance and discomfort. Inspired by Tom Ben David’s piece for TJI, Dash reflects on the emotional gymnastics of holding two truths at once, while Tami recounts her surreal stay at Australia’s only kosher hotel. From Judea to St Kilda East, this conversation is full of tension, honesty and some much-needed laughter.Articles mentioned in today’s episode: https://thejewishindependent.com.au/this-and-this-holding-contradictory-truthshttps://thejewishindependent.com.au/am-i-white-im-not-sureTami and Dash on Instagram: tami_sussman_bits and dashiel_and_pascoeX: TJI_auYouTube: thejewishindependentAUFacebook: TheJewishIndependentAUInstagram: thejewishindependentLinkedIn: the-jewish-independentSubscribe to The Jewish Independent's bi-weekly newsletter: jewishindependent.com.auTami and Dash on Instagram: tami_sussman_bits and dashiel_and_pascoeX: TJI_auYouTube: thejewishindependentAUFacebook: TheJewishIndependentAUInstagram: thejewishindependentLinkedIn: the-jewish-independent
