🎙️ 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.

🎙️ 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. 😂 FOLLOW ELI LEBOWICZ 🌐 Website: https://www.elicomedy.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elicomedyagram/ 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@elilebowicz 🎭 J-Sketch: https://www.instagram.com/jsketchcomedy/ 🔗 Eli's Links: https://linktr.ee/elicomedy 🎙️ FOLLOW LIVINGYOSH 🌐 Website: https://livingyosh.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingyosh/ ▶️ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@LivingYosh Subscribe to LivingYosh for more conversations with fascinating people about their journeys, struggles, successes, faith, humor and the experiences that shaped who they are. Sometimes laughter doesn't mean we're ignoring the pain. Sometimes laughter helps give us the strength to keep going. #EliLebowicz #JewishCo medy #JewishComedian #Comedy #StandUpComedy #October7 #Israel #JewishHumor #Antisemitism #JewishPodcast #JSketch #LivingYosh #Podcast #JewishLife

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. 👇 FOLLOW SAM SALZ 🌐 Website: https://www.samsalz.org 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sam__salz/ 𝕏 X/Twitter: https://x.com/sam_salz 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@samsssssss 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samsalz ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SamSalz39 🎙️ FOLLOW LIVINGYOSH 🌐 Website: https://livingyosh.com 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livingyosh/ ▶️ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@LivingYosh 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livingyosh 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/livingyosh **Subscribe to LivingYosh** for more conversations with people whose stories prove that adversity, faith and determination can change a life.
