"[I was] at a Shabbat dinner with 20 Muslims, a handful of Jews, and then the people from the Jewish Community Center. So, we had some Polish people there, we had a Ukrainian refugee who works there, a couple more Americans - just a real coming together of all - also some Israelis and some Iraqi Jews.

It was a really cool melting pot. And the joy that erupted there - we broke into song and dance a number of times, both in Arabic and in Hebrew. And it was just an amazing expression of brotherhood and joy and togetherness there. So, that was a really beautiful way to end the trip."

Jonah Platt, actor, director, singer and host of the "Being Jewish" podcast, shares his recent experiences on a Sharaka trip to Germany and Poland. The program seeks to educate people in the Middle East and beyond about the Holocaust.
