Between Lamps & Legacies

from Nepal Diaspora Digest · host Nepali Diaspora

Happy Tihar to all celebrating the festival of lights! As diyas glow and marigolds adorn homes across Nepal and the diaspora, this week carries the weight of profound loss and historic triumph. We grieve Bipin Joshi—the young hero who saved 17 lives before perishing in Gaza—even as we roar with pride for our cricket team’s unbeaten T20 World Cup qualification. Prime Minister Sushila Karki promises elections in six months while bringing Gen Z voices into government, steering Nepal through its most critical political moment in years. This Tihar, we light our lamps for those we’ve lost, celebrate wins that unite us, and look forward—together—to the brighter days ahead. This is a public episode.

Diaspora Jewish Voice for Peace From Jewish Voice for Peace, this podcast explores the Jewish relationship to Zionism. We talk to Jewish people who grew up Zionist without even realizing it, Jewish people who learned how to be Jewish through Zionism, Palestinians who are impacted by it, and the ever-growing group of Jewish people who are rejecting Zionism. If you are curious about Jewish life, if you are part of progressive movements, if you are wrestling with Zionism, or if you just don’t quite understand what Zionism is - subscribe.
