Being Jewish with Jonah Platt - Noa Tishby

Jonah sits down with Israeli powerhouse Noa Tishby — author of Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth, former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism, producer of HBO’s In Treatment, and one of the most influential voices in modern Jewish advocacy. From the get-go, they explore a hard truth: Ending antisemitism is not a tangible goal to achieve, but a context in which we live.
Together, Jonah and Noa dive deep into:
- Noa’s unique journey from Israeli stardom to Hollywood success
- The key differences between Israeli and American Jewish identity
- Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew, the book she co-wrote with NFL star Emmanuel Acho
- Noa’s take on the Iran threat, Gaza war, and what's happening in Judea & Samaria
- Behind-the-scenes on how she brought Peabody-winning series In Treatment to HBO
- The story behind her viral celebrity Hanukkah videos with Gwyneth Paltrow, Mila Kunis, Gal Gadot, Tiffany Haddish, Van Jones, and Cindy Crawford
- Anti-Jew bigotry, Nova survivors, and having an impact on college campuses
- Plus: Noa’s must-watch TV picks, personal stories, laughs, and more
