In this thoughtful conversation between John Pinna and Adi Sharabi, they explore themes of identity, cultural heritage, and religious traditions across multiple communities. Adi, who identifies as an Arab Jew with Yemeni roots currently living in Thailand, discusses her journey from being a tour guide in Israel to becoming an online educator and content creator reaching millions of viewers. The conversation delves into the complexities of maintaining multiple cultural identities, particularly as members of diaspora communities, while raising children in multicultural environments. They discuss shared experiences around food traditions, family dynamics, and the challenges of bridging traditional and modern worlds. The dialogue touches on important themes of religious evolution, particularly regarding women's roles in religious spaces, and concludes with a discussion about the potential of "matriarchal diplomacy" as a means of fostering understanding across cultural and religious divides.
