🎙️ KOBY ISRAELITE on LivingYosh

What happens when you refuse to let anyone put your music — or your identity — into a box?

I sat down with Koby Israelite, the Israeli-born composer, producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose music crosses everything from Jewish and Middle Eastern sounds to Balkan music, jazz, rock, punk and heavy metal.

We go back to Koby’s childhood growing up in Israel, where he began playing piano at only six years old, and follow his incredible journey through music and eventually to London.

We talk about discovering his own unique sound, becoming a multi-instrumentalist, the accordion, taking chances as an artist, Jewish identity, Israel, humor, antisemitism and what keeps him creating after all these years.

And, of course, we talk about the song that immediately caught my attention:

🎵 “JUST BLAME THE JEWS”

Why write a song with a title like that?

Koby talks about using music, humor and satire to confront a subject that unfortunately has followed the Jewish people for generations.

This conversation is about much more than music. It’s about identity, creativity, humor, perseverance, being Jewish and having the courage to create something that sounds like YOU.

🎵 “JUST BLAME THE JEWS” — CREDITS

Images are AI. Music is real.

Sebastian Cetina joins me on the LivingYosh Podcast for a hilarious and personal conversation about the man behind the microphone.

We take Sebastian all the way back to the beginning — the neighborhood he grew up in, what he was like as a kid, whether he was a prankster, his first car, his first kiss, and the experiences that helped shape his sense of humor.

Then we get into what Sebastian does best: COMEDY. 😂

Sebastian opens up about his journey into stand-up comedy, performing in front of live audiences, bombing onstage, creating characters, doing impressions, improvisation, finding comedy in everyday people, and what it really takes to make a room full of strangers laugh.

Sebastian has spent more than two decades in comedy as a stand-up comedian, host, actor, producer and impressionist, performing at comedy clubs and venues across the country.

This conversation isn't only about the jokes.

🎙️ Jewish Comedian Eli Lebowicz on Comedy After October 7, Antisemitism & the Power of Laughter

What happens when making people laugh becomes more than just comedy?

On this episode of LivingYosh, I sit down with Jewish stand-up comedian Eli Lebowicz for a conversation about his journey into comedy, discovering that being funny could actually become a career, and what it's like building that career while proudly embracing his Jewish identity.

We talk about how Eli's stand-up has evolved over the years, bombing on stage, finding his own comedic voice, Jewish audiences, J-Sketch, and the person behind the comedian.

We also get into a much deeper conversation:

What is the role of humor after October 7?

Can laughter help people heal during painful times? Is humor sometimes an escape from reality — or can it actually give us the strength to face reality?

And, of course, we finish with a LivingYosh speed round.

Meet Chris Campbell — better known as Chris CaresNone and “The Babka King.” 👑

You may know him from his viral food videos, his love for babka and Jewish food, and that unmistakable personality — but there’s much more to Chris than what you see on social media.

On this episode of LivingYosh, we go beyond the food and meet the man behind the Babka King.

Chris opens up about his childhood, what he was like in school, the neighborhood that shaped him, how his relationship with food has changed over the years, and the experiences that tested his strength and determination.

We talk about finding his voice, building a massive social media following, where “Hey, whatever city!” came from, becoming the Babka King, and his unexpected connection with Jewish food, Jewish culture and the Jewish community.

We also get into faith, what inspires him, why he continues to smile and bring happiness to other people, and whether something as simple as sharing food can help bring people from completely different backgrounds together.

And of course... you can't have the Babka King on LivingYosh without talking BABKA. 👑

This is a conversation about determination, food, culture, laughter, resilience and bringing people together.

🏈 He had NEVER played organized football — then he made the Texas A&M football team.

On this episode of LivingYosh, I sit down with Sam Salz, the first known Orthodox Jewish player in NCAA Division I football.

Sam's story sounds almost impossible.

He attended an Orthodox Jewish high school that didn't even have a football team. He arrived at Texas A&M without prior organized football experience and refused to give up on his dream. After months of persistence and training, Sam earned his place as a walk-on with the Aggies.



He kept Shabbat, wore his kippah and tzitzit, and chose jersey #39 — representing the 39 melachot of Shabbat.

Then, after years of waiting, Sam finally stepped onto the field for Texas A&M against New Mexico State in 2024.

In this conversation, Sam opens up about:

🏈 Why he chose football despite never playing organized football growing up
✡️ Being openly Orthodox Jewish in Division I college football
🙏 Keeping Shabbat while playing for an SEC program
3️⃣9️⃣ The powerful meaning behind jersey #39
💪 Training when almost nobody believed his dream was possible
🏟️ What it felt like finally getting onto the field for Texas A&M
👨‍👩‍👦 His family and the people who shaped him
🎤 Becoming a public voice for Jewish identity and faith
👀 Being recognized and dealing with attention
🎟️ Whether everyone suddenly starts asking you for football tickets
🔥 Failure, persistence and refusing to quit
🎯 What's next for Sam Salz

This is bigger than football.

It's a conversation about faith, identity, resilience and having the courage to chase a dream without giving up who you are.
