Summary

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Ashira Solomon, cohost of the Israeli talk show "The Quad," about her experiences as a black Jew living in Israel; why she moved from California to Israel; the misconceptions about Israel, particularly the notion that it is a white supremacist nation; why most people are ignorant of Israel’s diversity with a large population of Sephardic Jews from North Africa and the Middle East; the large African American immigrant population in Israel; her new show called the "Black and Jewish Podcast" to foster dialogue between the two communities; her plans to take delegations of black people to Israel to help them connect with modern Israel and its people; and much more.
