Ayuni: Voices of our Jewish Grandmothers

Welcome to Ayuni: Voices of Our Jewish Grandmothers, a podcast celebrating the lived stories of Middle Eastern and North African Jewish women. Ayuni, a term of endearment meaning “my eyes,” passes from grandmother to granddaughter, carrying worlds of memory, longing, and love. In each episode, we step into the hidden rooms of our histories: kitchens and henna nights, women’s songs and prayers, mikveh stories, Rosh Hodesh gatherings, and contemporary conversations about identity, silence, and voice. As we uncover the stories of the women who quietly held our families and communities together, we also make space for yours—because these histories live on when we share them.Sponsor an episode today at https://www.jewishtapestry.org/contact-donationsSend us your stories at ayunivoices@gmail.com and be a part of keeping this heritage alive!
