Tiffany Haddish: Israel Trip, Jewish Identity, and Why Torah Heals

"The Torah literally heals my soul." ✡️ In this episode of Stars of David, hosts Elon Gold and Eli Leonard sit down with the legendary Tiffany Haddish for a conversation that is as deeply moving as it is hilarious. Tiffany shares her profound spiritual journey—from discovering her Jewish roots through her father and navigating foster care to her "Black Mitzvah" and full conversion. She discusses her recent emotional trip to Israel following October 7th, her experiences at the Kotel (the Wailing Wall), and why she finds her greatest strength in Jewish learning. Tiffany also discusses her latest book, I Curse You With Joy, and why she chooses to fight negativity with light. This episode contains explicit language and content.
