Ayuni: Voices of our Jewish Grandmothers is a podcast from Jewish Tapestry celebrating the lived stories of Middle Eastern and North African Jewish women, co-hosted by Sarah Sassoon, Dalya Arussy Di Veroli and Dr. Drora Arussy.
Ayuni, “my eyes”, is a term of endearment passed from grandmother to granddaughter. Each episode returns to the kitchens, henna nights, women’s songs and prayers, mikveh stories and Rosh Hodesh gatherings where these traditions live, from food as memory and evil eye practices to Shabbat and women as protectors.
