Israeli Goy
What’s it like to live in Israel… when you’re not Jewish, not Arab, and not even Christian?
Israeli Goy explores the unheard stories of non-Jews—expats, foreigners, and curious souls—who choose to live in the Jewish state, even when they don't fit into any official box.
Hosted by a Spaniard with no Jewish ancestry, no connection to the land, and no traditional religious ties, this podcast asks: What draws people like us to Israel? What are the challenges? And where do we belong in a place built for someone else?
Join me—and others like me—for real, raw conversations about identity, culture, immigration, and living in the in-between.

Born of us | The story of how I conceived Israeli offspring
Welcome back.
In the last episode, I shared the path I walked — barefoot, sometimes broken — through the winding streets of Israel, seeking something ancient, something sacred: conversion. A way to become part of the people I had come to love so deeply.
I followed every step. I waited. I hoped. But in the end, the answer was no. The Rabbanut closed its doors, and I was left on the outside, watching.
But G-d — G-d had already begun writing a different story.
While I was still knocking on locked gates, I met someone. A man. An Israeli. And in that quiet unfolding, something unseen was taking root.
Two days after the denial, I conceived a child.
I didn’t become part of Israel through halachic approval or ritual entry. I became part of it through a deeper promise — not written by men, but spoken by G-d. Through blood, through love, through the life growing inside me.
When the rabbis said no, G-d said not this way — but My way.
This is the story of how I was woven into the land of my dreams — not by conversion, but by creation. Not by law, but by love.
This is Born of Us.
