| Untangling Narratives with Skyler Carrico | 31 Mar 2026 | 01:00:59 | |
For the first episode of The Thin Veil, Ezra welcomes filmmaker Skyler Carrico—whose chance online critique became a turning point in Ezra’s journey toward a deeper understanding of Palestine and the systems shaping our world. Together, they trace their parallel paths of political awakening, including a shared reckoning with the influence of figures like Sam Harris, and what it feels like to confront the possibility that you’ve been deeply misinformed. Skyler shares his experience traveling to the West Bank in 2024, where he encountered both the realities of life under occupation and the resilience, warmth, and humanity of the people he met. The conversation moves through media, ideology, and empire—while asking harder questions about responsibility, perception, and what it means to keep showing up once the narrative begins to unravel.

| Jewish Trauma Is Not A Weapon: Julie Wolk on Reclaiming Ashkenazi Ancestry Beyond Zionism | 03 Jun 2026 | 00:40:14 | |
Julie Wolk is a facilitator, strategist, and creator of Ashkenazi Ancestral Journeys, a spiritual pilgrimage and heritage program that brings Ashkenazi Jews to Poland to reconnect with ancestral lands, Jewish memory, diasporic culture, grief, and political histories that Zionist narratives often teach us to bypass.
At the heart of the conversation is a question Julie’s work asks with urgency: can Jewish historical trauma be metabolized rather than weaponized — softening us into empathy and “never again for anyone,” rather than hardening us into victimhood, nationalism, militarism, and the dispossession of Palestinians? Julie is also the Co-Founder, former Co-Director, and current Board President of Wilderness Torah, now Adamah-SF. Earlier in her career, she worked as an environmental and social justice organizer with USPIRG and Rainforest Action Network.
