A Yemeni Muslim Just Explained Judaism Better Than Most Rabbis

Mohammed Al-Samawi, founder of Abrahamic House and one of the most compelling interfaith voices in America, takes on Jonah Platt's lightning round. He weighs in on his favorite Jewish dish, his favorite Jewish holiday, and the Arabic word he lives by that has no equivalent in English. The round ends with the story behind why he named it Abrahamic House — and it's not the reason most people assume. If you think you know what interfaith work is really about, this two-minute parable will make you reconsider everything. This clip is taken from one of the most extraordinary full-length conversations ever filmed on The Being Jewish Podcast. Jonah travels to Washington D.C. to meet Mohammed in person for the first time — inside the house itself — to hear a story that begins with antisemitic propaganda in the streets of Sanaa, Yemen, and ends somewhere nobody could have predicted. Mohammed's journey from inherited hatred to building a home where Jews, Muslims, Christians, and Bahá'í fellows share Shabbat dinners and Ramadan gatherings is not a story about idealism. It's about what happens when one person decides to ask a forbidden question and refuses to stop.
