Spicy food and spicy Jews

This week in the Garden, we’re talking about the Jews you don’t usually hear about.I’m joined by Raquel aka The Blonde Sephardi to dive into the rich, complex, and often overlooked world of Sephardic Jews. From history and expulsion to culture, food, and identity, this episode is about the Jewish story that doesn’t always make it into the textbooks.So often when people picture a Jew, they picture Europe. But Sephardic Jews built Jewish life across the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond carrying our traditions, flavor, and resilience with us wherever we were forced to go. We didn’t crumble. We rebuilt. Every time.In this episode, we talk about:    •    Sephardic history most people were never taught    •    Where stereotypes come from (and which ones we might actually own)    •    Why Sephardic culture is so rich, bold, and deeply rooted    •    How identity, exile, and survival shaped who we are todayThis episode is funny, honest, spicy, and proud just like our food. 🌶️Whether you’re Sephardic, Ashkenazi, or just curious, welcome to the Garden.Follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @evesgardeners to stay up to date and for more opportunities for growth.
