Description
In this bonus episode of Habits & Hustle, we explore the identity struggles within the Jewish community, the broad complexities of social justice, and the role of media in illuminating these issues with the Tel Aviv Institute Founder, Hen Mazzig. He shares his unique perspective on the importance of standing up and making our identities visible, echoing Harvey Milk's concept of "coming out" as Jewish.
Being Jewish in right now can be dangerous, but at the same time, it’s dangerous for the jewish community to hide your heritage. We discuss how to find a balance between the two. Hen also shares startling data on anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment within Palestine, underscores the urgent need for Jews to reclaim their own humanity, the critical role of media in the Israel-Gaza conflict, and how truth can be distorted by groups like Hamas.
Hen Mazzig is a globally-recognized speaker, educator, digital influencer and the founder of Tel Aviv Institute. Over 100 million users have interacted with his online content, and he has appeared as an expert on Jewish issues on four continents, over 500 college campuses, BBC, The Washington Post, SkyNews, TEDx, and countless Shabbat dinners.

(00:01) - The Importance of Speaking Up
(09:41) - Intersection of Queerness, Anti-Semitism, Social Justice
(22:44) - Media's Role in Israel-Gaza Conflict
(31:40) - Gaslighting, Hostages, and Ceasefire Discussion
