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.
