Nava and Tallie start off the episode chatting about how Zionism got tangled up with Judaism and Jewishness. At [6:10 ], we hear from four JVP organizers about what Zionism meant to them growing up. We'd like to thank Rabbi Alissa Wise, Samantha Brotman, Alana Krivo-Kaufman, and Maya Edery for sharing your stories with us.

Our theme music is "For Our Stories" by  Decibelists, off the album Decibelists (we mistakenly say that the album is called "Galapagos" in the episode!). Diaspora podcast is produced by Tallie Ben Daniel. It’s written and hosted by Tallie Ben Daniel and Nava EtShalom, and edited by Jenny Asarnow.
