  • "Everything needs to change" - Daniel Jonas

    "Everything needs to change" - Daniel Jonas
    2025/05/23

    With Daniel Jonas as our guide, we explore how Sephardi traditions merge with philosophy, language, and music to form a personal and uniquely ‘alive’ sense of Jewish identity.


    Our guest

    Meet Daniel Jonas, a corporate innovation expert, leader of interfaith dialogue, and prominent figure in London's Sephardic community—a path that has led him to explore his Iraqi-Indian heritage and the influence of Judeo-Arabic culture.


    Key topics

    • Language and Identity: How language, particularly Hebrew and Judeo-Arabic, has shaped Daniel's Jewish expression.
    • The Need for Change: Daniel advocates for systemic changes within communities and institutions to include the diversity of what it means to be Jewish.


    Your guide

    Short definitions of terms mentioned in this episode:

    • Kippah / Yarmulke - a brimless Jewish skullcap with variations in design and placement. Similar to a Kufi or Taquiya in Islam

    • Reform Judaism - Jewish denomination that emphasises autonomy, and adapting to modern life.
