And They’re Jewish – A Conversation on Culture, Identity, and Belonging

Jewish voices are everywhere in culture — in film and television, on stage, in music, in design, and beyond. But too often, their stories are overlooked. Enter And They’re Jewish, the hit YouTube series created by author, educator, and Tel Aviv Institute founder Hen Mazzig. With humor, insight, and heart, Hen sits down with Jewish artists, actors, athletes, and innovators to explore how identity shapes their lives and work — from Hollywood and Broadway to the NBA and the art world. In this special live talk, Hen reflects on the power and challenge of being visibly Jewish in 2025. He’ll share the inspiration behind the show’s new season, what he’s learned from conversations with stars like Debra Messing, Mayim Bialik, Etai Benson, Alexandra Socha, and Emmanuelle Chriqui, and why celebrating Jewish creativity is more important than ever. Join us for a timely and thought-provoking evening that asks how storytelling can push back against hate, expand our cultural conversation, and affirm the depth and diversity of Jewish identity today.
