About Episode by Yasmeen Ohebsion From Broadway stages to his podcast “Being Jewish with Jonah Platt,” Jonah Platt has spent much of his career using storytelling as a way of connecting with others. Recently, that instinct has taken on a new urgency. October 7 reshaped his priorities and deepened his commitment to Jewish advocacy. Known for his work as a writer, performer, and producer, Platt has recently stepped into the spotlight in a different way, using his platform to amplify Jewish voices and push back against rising antisemitism. But his message isn’t just about being loud—it’s about being present. Whether on campus, online, or in the workplace, he encourages young Jews to engage with courage, authenticity, and compassion. “You don’t need to start a podcast or lead a movement to make a difference,” Platt says. “Just speak up in your own circle. Advocate for yourself. That’s where it begins.” Platt opened up about what it means to be a “public Jew” in today’s climate, the difference between having hard conversations and changing minds, and why allyship starts with showing up—acknowledging fear, but calling for resolve. He’s also quick to remind students that they’re not alone. Across the country, Jewish leaders are organizing on campuses and in communities, creating spaces for solidarity and resistance. “The support systems are already there,” he says. “You just have to find them.” And for those wondering where they fit in, he offers this practical reassurance: not everyone needs to be a front-line activist, but everyone has a role to play. “There’s a Jewish renaissance happening,” Platt notes, borrowing a phrase from Congressman Ritchie Torres. “Jews are taking up space and leading and building—and it’s happening all around us. You just have to join in the fun.” At a time when many young Jews are navigating visibility and safety, Platt’s message is clear: find your people, show up with courage, and know that your voice matters.

3. Jonah Platt: The Incredible Story of Muslims and Jews Visiting Auschwitz..

About Episode “Hollywood is about as left and progressive a community as there is in this country. And unfortunately, part of the box you have to check in that very left, super progressive space is being anti-Israel and being pro-Palestine in an anti-Israel way,” says Jonah Platt. Platt is a jack of all trades in the entertainment industry—an actor, director, producer, and singer. In the aftermath of the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre of Israelis led by terrorist group Hamas, he launched the podcast “Being Jewish.” He recently visited Auschwitz, the largest German death camp, alongside over a dozen Muslims. He went with the organization Sharaka, which builds on the work of the Abraham Accords and educates Middle Easterners and other Arabs and Muslims around the world about the Holocaust. “Some of these people came on this trip at great personal risk. If you’re coming from Pakistan to hang out with Jews in the middle of this Israel-Gaza war, I mean, you could be in real, physical danger. Some people—they couldn’t be in any photos and their identities had to be kept secret to protect them,” says Platt. “There were Jewish slaves [at Auschwitz], working out in that kind of rain in threadbare pajamas, starving to death, and having to do physical labor and be shot if they didn’t keep up. And meanwhile, I’m freezing in the cold, but I get to go on a warm bus and get a hot meal after this.” In this episode, we discuss how to navigate being Jewish and Zionist in a society that is becoming increasingly hostile to Israel.
