Jonathan York’s life spans three continents — Iran, America, and Israel — and his story embodies the Jewish journey of exile, resilience, and renewal. A Los Angeles–based artist, lawyer, and filmmaker, York shares his family’s escape from Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, his unique blend of identities, and how those experiences shape his art. Speaking with ILTV Podcast host and Executive Editor Maayan Hoffman, York also addresses the rise of antisemitism targeting Israeli artists abroad and explains why perseverance is at the core of Jewish identity.
