Trailer for a YouTube conversation between an unnamed host and Rabbi Josh exploring Judaism’s enduring power and practical relevance. Rabbi Josh summarizes a core teaching ("love your friend like yourself"), contrasts belief with evidence using modern metaphors (blockchain, flat earth), and describes Shabbos as a life-changing practice. The trailer also raises pragmatic questions about building a business and handling rejection, framing Judaism as both an ethical system and a source of personal resilience.
Today I have a very special guest. Rabbi Josh.
Kaller, one of the great sages, was asked, teach me the entire Torah on one foot. And this was what he said. You should love your friend like you love yourself. Are you in love with yourself?
Yes.
Are you? Why has Judaism been around for 3,336 years? Like, what is it that's kept this thing going?
People believe in the flat earth conspiracy theories. So I think the capacity for human beings to believe in things contrary to evidence is very, very high.
Flat Earth theorists require no personal skin in the game.
How do you know that it's real?
Well, when we think about blockchain technology, it's the perfect metaphor.
Was there, like, a trigger or point where you realize, like, this is the way I want to live life?
Shabbos saved my life. That was a transformational experience for me. And I'm like, wow, I didn't know this was Judaism. I wish they would have told me this earlier.
Do you believe people are fundamentally good or bad?
I'm trying to build a business. It's very hard to raise money. Like, what do I do?
Building anything worthwhile? It's always a struggle. Like, how does someone stay positive? Like, when they're facing rejection and failure Constantly.
The first thing that needs to be calibrated is your.
