About this episode

Yoshi Silverstein discusses his journey from Hebrew school to leading a movement that integrates spirituality and physicality in Judaism.

Not so long ago in Spokane Washington, otherwise known as the heart of the inland empire, there was a little boy named Josh, later to become Yoshi. His friends went to Hebrew school, he didn't. His friends learned how to write doo doo in Hebrew, he didn't. But he wanted to so he went to Hebrew school. Well now, living in Cleveland, he has moved far beyond the days of doo doo. Now he leads a movement that aligns the spirit with the body. Embodied Judaism, gets us out of our heads and into our hearts. The Mitsui Collective and the Mitsui Method are his life's work at this moment. Let's check in with Yoshi Silverstein.
