Last week, RDI CEO @UrielEpshtein moderated a powerful post-show conversation after Other, with @arielstachel and @EnesFreedom—diving into conversation about dissent, resilience, division and the power of storytelling.
In the first episode, which is titled "Jews of Color," @arielstachel sits down with Iraqi-Israeli actor Sasson Gabai, writes @evelyngfrick. https://t.co/zarWun7shU
@isaacdecastro Isaac, the post wasn’t for you. Nor entirely for Kanye. It’s for the many people who have questioned my being a Jew my entire life because of my skin color. This moment is an opportunity to educate people who might have no prior understanding of who or what a Jewish person is.
“Being here in Tehran right now is one of the greatest joys of my life… and I rather being here than anywhere else in the world.��� Watch this powerful response by movie director Mani Haghighi after he was banned to leave Iran. #MahsaAmini #مهسا_امینی
“I was excluded on the playground for being brown, so I have always looked forward to sharing my own story.”
@arielstachel opens up about "Don’t Worry Darling" and coming of age as a half-Yemeni, half-Ashkenazi Jew in a paranoid post-9/11 America.

Congrats Warren. Such an unbelievable honor that you created Hasim Khaldun & weaved in all of my unique cultural heritage into the character. I know I speak for many actors when I say that you are greatly appreciated and will be sorely missed. Cheers to your next adventure.
The final day of shooting is always bittersweet. Today was a little more than that. As some of you have already figured out, I am stepping down at the end of #SVU23. The last two years of show running during a pandemic have been arduous, and I’ve decided to take a break. /1
@petermarksdrama Thanks for shedding light on this, Peter. My brownness and my Jewishness have felt at odds for my entire life because of some of the issues you raise…exciting that pieces featuring diverse Jewish identities are being developed.
@warrenleightTV @DavidYazbek @DavidYazbek Yaz - I kid you not, this is from an hour ago. @Mariska had me sing Haled’s Song acapella for her between takes. And then our amazing cameraman Jamie gave us his rendition. You are loved at the precinct. @warrenleightTV@TheBandsVisit
