Uncomfortable Conversations with a Jew by Noa Tishby, Emmanuel Acho

challenging emotional informative tense medium-paced

5.0

I found this audiobook to be captivating and impactful. Two people of very different beliefs come together to have a conversation, they can disagree and still come out as friends at the end. I feel like our current climate is so divisive and toxic (especially when it comes to this topic) that it was so nice to see two adults not go low when they disagreed. I find Emmanuel Acho so eloquent. I am so envious of him for that and for tackling this issue that no one wants to face or hear out! I also didn't know much about Noa Tishby before the 10/7 massacre and while she is known to be the who's who of this topic, I still didn't know much about her. Like I didn't realize she wasn't raised religiously Jewish. She just grew up in Israel. However, reading this book as a Jewish person did feel much like preaching to the choir. You didn't have to convince me to agree on these points, but it did give me some good facts to use if I ever debate issues on the Middle East conflict. More likely, I would just point someone to Noa's social media.
