Summary

What happens when a Black NFL analyst and an Israeli activist sit down to have uncomfortable conversations about Judaism and antisemitism? Check out this episode of Habits and Hustle to find out. I am joined by Emmanuel Acho and Noah Tishby to discuss their New York Times bestselling book "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew." We delve into challenging topics like the perception of Jewish people in America, the rise of antisemitism, and the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We also discuss that having open, honest dialogue - even when uncomfortable - is crucial for building understanding between different communities. Emmanuel Acho is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Boy and the New York Times bestseller Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man. He is the host/producer of the Emmy Award–winning YouTube series of the same name, and whose mission is to promote dialogue around racial insensitivity and ignorance. Noa Tishby is the New York Times bestselling author of Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth and Israel’s former Special Envoy for Combatting Antisemitism and Delegitimization. An award-winning producer, Tishby made history with the sale of In Treatment to HBO, the first Israeli television show to become an American series. Tishby is the founder of several nonprofit organizations, including Act for Israel and Eighteen, which combats antisemitism and inspires Jewish pride.
