Synopsis
Host Grant Schmidt, a young Jew re-discovering Judaism, interviews serious Jews and encourages them to be real. Together we will seek to explore non-Jewish items through a Jewish lens, define Jewish values, seperate "real" Judaism from what has been co-opted (whatever that means?) and cover numerous topics such as the modern day diaspora, Jewish defense, and the War on Jews, as well as Jewish Excellence, our impact on history, the relationship between USA, Israel, the and world, and, of course, your lifestyle. Ill be trying to interview a new Jewish voice for each episode with the occasional quick rant episode dropped in. Send in your recommendations for discussion so we can talk about what you want to explore.

Episode 2 - Is Tikkun Olam still Tikkun Olam?
25/03/2018 Duration: 40minI speak with Rabbi Mike Stern and we get down to the nuts and bolts of something so central to Judaism, Jewish life, lifestyle, and identity: Tikkun Olam which is widely interpreted as "Repairing the World," but is there more to it? Has it been co-opted by those who seek to use it for their own ends. Who decide what needs repairing and how we should repair? Rabbi Stern has some honest answers.

Episode 1 - Jewish Secret Sauce, Bad Barmitzvahs, and Changing The World
25/03/2018 Duration: 39minMy first interview, I sit down with Kevin Ross who speaks on his own accord. Kevin is local president of the Zionist Organization of America and is very influential in the community, but he speaks personally on his own about re-discovering Judaism, sharing how Judaism has changed the world and how the works of World Perfect by Ken Spiro has changed both our lives coincidentally, and how he considers Judaism to be the secret sauce of life while numerous key aspects of Jewish life are being co-opted and completely missing the boat... or ark.
