Episode #25 Celebrating Mizrahi music, food, and heritage with Shai Shriki

Ashamed to Admit

For too long, the stories and culture of Mizrahi Jews – Jews from the Middle East, North Africa and Asia – have been unrecognised and unrepresented in Australia's Jewish community. Yet Mizrahi music, food, and culture have enriched Jewish traditions and cultural life for generations, weaving vibrant threads into the tapestry of Jewish identity – in Israel, Australia and Jewish communities worldwide. In a Mizrahi Heritage Month special, Tami and Dash meet Shai Shriki, a Jewish-Moroccan musician born in Israel who lives in the Northern Rivers of NSW, playing music and crafting the traditional instruments of his Mizrahi ancestors.
