In this profoundly inspiring Episode 2 of The Chai Road, your host Max Alperstein sits down
with Jes Escalante, a Latin trans convert to Judaism, who is not only navigating their
unique journey of faith and identity but also standing tall as an advocate for peace,
honor, and resilience.
Jes shares their powerful story of converting to Judaism, embracing both their Latin and
trans identities, and using their voice to challenge hatred while promoting love and
understanding. In this candid conversation, Jes speaks about the challenges they've
faced, the strength it took to embrace their identity, and how they’ve become a beacon
of hope and advocacy for those who feel marginalized.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who values resilience, community, and the fight
for justice. Jes’s story serves as a reminder that we all have the power to create change
in the world, no matter the obstacles in our path.
