    "You've got to Think for Yourselves!"
    Apr 3 2026
    About This EpisodeDaniel Jonas (guest from S2) got in touch having listened to every episode of "Who Jew Think You Are?"He had questions - 4 of them - just in time for Passover. Questions about the assumptions and biases Eylan has, and what he’s learned from two seasons of conversations.This is the result: an episode where the host becomes the guest, and is held to account for views on faith, Zionism and liberal values; testing blindspots, and exploring together the evolving sense of what a broader Jewish identity can mean.About Daniel JonasDaniel Jonas has Iraqi-Indian Sephardi heritage and brings a background in corporate innovation and interfaith dialogue to his engagement with Jewish tradition. He thinks seriously about Judaism as a legal and ethical framework, and about what honest inquiry requires. He appeared in Season 2 (S2E3: ‘Everything needs to change’).Key TopicsThe assumptions baked into the podcast Jewish essentialism: if everything can be Jewish, is anything Jewish?Zionism: what the word still means, and where Eylan actually standsDoes this podcast matter?Referenced in the episodeThe Guide for the Perplexed Maimonides.

    The audio was recorded at Lye Valley Nature Reserve in Oxford - which is well worth the visit any time of year - but especially in Springtime!

    (By the way, next time I record a trailer, I won’t end so many sentences on a rising intonation, or uptalk. It was pretty cringy listening back)
