In Conversation: Rabbi Dr Elie Abadie

In this special episode of In Conversation, I’m joined by Rabbi Dr. Elie Abadie — Senior Rabbi of the Jewish Council of the Emirates and the Association of Gulf Jewish Communities, a physician, scholar, and bridge-builder whose remarkable life spans Beirut, Sephardic Jewish tradition, medicine, and faith leadership in the modern Middle East. As Jewish communities around the world celebrate Pesach (Passover), we reflect briefly on the timeless lessons of liberation and sacred memory, before moving into a deeper conversation about identity, healing, Jewish life in the Gulf, and what it might take for Jews and Muslims to rediscover trust, dignity, and a more beautiful future together. 📅 Recorded Live: Sunday 5th April 2026 🔔 Connect & Grow: Don’t forget to Like, Share, and Subscribe. 💬 Join the Conversation: What did this conversation make you reflect on? ☕ Appreciate my work?
