Description

🎉Sababoosh's 25th Episode🎉

In this episode, we sit down with Jonathan Elkhoury—a gay, Christian, Lebanese-Israeli—to explore what it's like to hold multiple identities in an already complicated country.

From his childhood as the son of a South Lebanon Army officer who fled to Israel, to his experiences navigating Israeli society as an Arab, a Christian, and a proud Zionist, Jonathan shares his journey of reconciling what seem like contradictions—but are, for him, a whole and coherent life. We talk identity, loyalty, cultural complexity, and the power of embracing all the parts of who you are.

This conversation is layered, personal, and timely. For anyone curious about what it truly means to be a minority in Israel—this one’s for you.
