In Season 2 Episode 17 of the Attempt Adventure Podcast, we are joined by Yona Abeddour from Bab Mellah: The Jewish Quarter. Yona takes us on a cultural exploration of the Jewish Quarter of Fez, Morocco and of the little-known Jewish culture in Morocco. We also discuss travel as a bridge-building experience and how to connect deeply with different cultures through understanding.
