Being Jewish with Jonah Platt

Emmy and Grammy-winning comedian Tiffany Haddish opens up about discovering Judaism as an adult and having her “Black Mitzvah” at age 40!  She covers all her toughest struggles in this raw and unfiltered conversation—from growing up in foster care, her mother’s tragic accident, to fighting her way to the top of Hollywood stardom. But one of her biggest personal revelations? Discovering her Jewish roots.

From sleeping in her car to selling out Netflix comedy specials to headlining blockbuster movies like “Girl Trip,” Tiffany gets real about her journey to embracing Judaism, reuniting with her African Jewish father, and what it means to navigate the world as both Black and Jewish. From Bat Mitzvah dancer to a Bat Mitzvah herself, what has faith taught her about resilience, success, and staying true to herself? This is one episode you don’t want to miss.
