Mizrahi Culture and Jewish Pride | Hen Mazzig

In this episode of What The Falafel, Jodie sits down with the brilliant Hen Mazzig... author, speaker, and activist... to talk Pride, the complexities of being a gay Mizrahi Jew, the rise in antisemitism… and of course, food (because what else?)! Hen opens up about coming out in the IDF, his humanitarian work in the military, and the emotional toll of war. They chat about cultural identity, Mizrahi roots, the politics of shakshuka, and how food can be the ultimate way to connect! 🎧 Tune in for Jewish pride, spicy stories, and soul food that’ll leave you craving a Sabich… and more of Hen! → Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wtfalafelpodcast/ → Host: https://www.instagram.com/jodiebrandman/ → In collaboration with: https://www.instagram.com/joiceglobal/ → Find Hen Mazzig: https://www.instagram.com/henmazzig/ → Special thanks to Balagan for their AMAZING food!
