Who represents the Jewish people? In today’s world of social media, politics, antisemitism, and debates about Israel, it often feels like someone is always claiming to speak “for the Jews.” But is there really such a thing as a single Jewish voice?

In this powerful episode of That Jewish Podcast, Yirmeyahu Yosef explores what the Torah, Tanakh, and Talmud teach about Jewish leadership, disagreement, responsibility, and unity. Drawing on sources like Har Sinai in Exodus, the Talmudic debates of Beit Hillel and Beit Shammai, and the principle of Kol Yisrael areivim zeh bazeh (all Jews are responsible for one another), this episode unpacks a timeless question with urgent modern relevance.

What happens when children leave a top school, say goodbye to close friends, and start over — all during a family’s Jewish conversion journey?

In this powerful episode of That Jewish Podcast, we confront the reality of rising antisemitism and explore why Jewish unity and mental resilience are more critical now than ever. Using a recent antisemitic attack on a synagogue in the United States as a starting point, host Yirmeyahu Yosef unpacks the emotional, psychological, and spiritual toll that antisemitism places on the Jewish community—and how we can respond with strength instead of fear.

This episode goes beyond headlines and outrage. It offers practical, in-depth coping strategies to help Jews protect their mental health, strengthen community bonds, and stay grounded through Torah, tradition, and purposeful action. Whether you’re feeling anxious, angry, overwhelmed, or simply exhausted, this conversation provides clarity, perspective, and tools you can actually use.

This is not about panic.
This is about resilience, unity, and continuity.

What does real leadership look like when it’s not driven by power, ego, or attention?

In this episode of Kosher and Black, I explore the leadership philosophy of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, and what true influence looks like through a Torah lens. The Rebbe led millions without force or fame, focusing instead on responsibility, service, and empowering others.

This episode breaks down practical leadership lessons for everyday life — at home, at work, and in the community — and challenges the idea that leadership has to be loud to be effective.

If you’re looking for leadership rooted in purpose, integrity, and lasting impact, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I explore the deeper meaning of Hanukkah during a time of rising antisemitism. From attacks on Jewish communities to the story of the Maccabees, this conversation looks at faith, courage, and why choosing light still matters today.
