Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Yemen: Live Recording with Adiel Cohen – Part 2
Q: As a fellow social media creator, especially during times like this, I get asked a lot about racism in Israel. What do you think about the treatment of non-white Jews?
Racism exists in Israel, but it has improved a lot since the 1950s, and is widely condemned in society today.
Yemen: Live Recording with Adiel Cohen – Part 2
Q: Do you try other Jewish cultures in fact?
Kubeh must be one of my favorite foods that is not Yemenite. It's Iraqi Jewish. My hometown, Ramat Gan, is the capital of Iraqi Jews in Israel.
