A Conversation with Mayan Eden and Chen Kupperman (Hebrew)

In this episode of Abrahamic Voices, hosts Mayan Eden and Chen Yaakov Kupperman switch into Hebrew (with plenty of Arabic and English along the way) to unpack how language shapes identity, connection, and courage. They revisit the Abu Dhabi tolerance conference where Jews, Muslims, Druze, and friends sat together in solidarity—including a minute of silence for October 7 victims—and share how those moments inspired this show’s mission. Chen describes Blender, their language‑and‑culture community, and why immersion (learning Arabic in Arabic / Hebrew in Hebrew) builds real understanding.

In this podcast, you’ll learn:
• Why language feels like a “suit”—you show up a little differently in Hebrew, Arabic, and English.
• How immersion‑first language learning (not translation) accelerates empathy and cultural fluency.
• How public stands—like calling antisemitism a crime—and gestures of solidarity can reset norms.
• Why real change is long‑term, relationship‑driven work, not quick debates or viral clips.
