Josh A | The Presence of History | Episode 59

The Dayna Show returns with an episode that brings Jewish history out of books and into the real world.

My guest is Josh A, an Israeli antique collector with a strong presence on social media, where he shares rare artifacts from across Jewish history — coins, maps, inscriptions, and objects from different time periods. Through what he collects and presents, Josh offers tangible proof of Jewish life and continuity in the Land of Israel, paired with deep historical knowledge and historical context. With Hanukkah having just passed, this conversation touches on the Hashmonaim (Hasmonean) period, ancient life in this region, and why Jewish history still matters today — especially at a time when facts are questioned and antisemitism is rising.

Thoughtful, fascinating, and grounding, this is a conversation I truly loved.
