The Power of Quiet Confidence - Yardenne Greenspan

<p>Yardenne Greenspan is a Tel Aviv-born writer and Hebrew translator whose work appears in numerous publications and has earned notable awards. She's married to Shai Davidai (yes, that one — Activist, former Columbia professor, and Margarita's viral early guest), but she's built her own formidable kind of activism: humanizing Israelis one carefully chosen word at a time. She's the person you drift toward at every Jewish event without quite knowing why.</p><p>In this episode, Margarita and Yardenne discuss the importance of translation, the true reality of activism, and how to always take the high road. </p><p>Follow Yardenne on Instagram @YardenneGreenspanSupport our work: buymeacoffee.com/peoplejewwannaknow</p><p><br></p><p>What We Discuss:</p><p>00:00 Intro & Episode Agenda</p><p>03:27 Growing Up Secular in Tel Aviv</p><p>07:15 Meeting Shai & Moving to America</p><p>10:30 Post-Mortems on Activism</p><p>14:00 The Twitter Fight & Refusing the Bait</p><p>19:45 Translation as a Form of Activism</p><p>26:00 Vulnerability as Strength</p><p>30:30 Raising Kids Under Attack</p><p>36:00 Translating Trauma in Kazakhstan</p><p>41:00 Message to the Jewish People</p><p>44:03 Closing Remarks & Guest Nomination</p>
