- Meet Rabbi Moshe Silk. He is a Nadvorna Hasid living in a multi-functional townhouse in Borough Park, New York, balancing his deep religious commitments with a high-profile career. Silk made history as the first Hasidic Jew to hold a Senate-confirmed position in the U.S. government, serving as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for International Markets under Donald Trump. An expert in China-related trade law, he has spent significant parts of his career in China, contributing to trade negotiations and international markets. Additionally, Silk is actively involved in his community, providing pro bono legal services and working on significant translation projects to make sacred Hasidic texts available in English.

Big hug for Rabbi Mitchell Silk! He comes across to me via this podcast as an honest, modest and sincere person, very curious and open about life, and does not seem to hold grudges and so representative of why lesser minds are so jealous of the Jews. Jealousy? Yes, that seems to be basis of all this "anti-Semitic" stuff.
* Jewish people have a unbroken tradition of building and holding on to and forming a community while individual endeavour and success is encouraged and appreciated.
* They learn, wherever they are, the skills and means and knowledge, the ground rules of a nation, any nation, that holds it together and they work with it.
* There is joy and gratitude embedded in the Jewish traditions, in contrast, as far as I know, to say, the Chinese who also have a very strong family and goal oriented tradition.
* And lastly, they make contrinutions to the betterment of the country, nation, society, community they are in. And they think everyone can see that this is a good way to make a better world....even though there are many who don''t get this. Unfortunately. But they will, eventually.
I really enjoyed our conversation. What a yid 💛
Great show 💯 from Team Gulkowitz shul 😅
Thank you for having this great guest, so incredibly interesting.
Awesome interesting man, and a real mentsch of a person!
Within fifteen minutes of my beginning to watch interview, I felt a need to write my comment now b4 I forget.
R' Moshe Silk has a calm and soothing voice that comes thru w every word he said.
He looked/looks at his life and how he was brought up and raised w 'open eyes and ears' and he talks about his upbringing and way of living his life; a child after divorce, w a Life view in positivity.
He is very learned in his Yiddishkeit, an languages as well as when he spoke, it was w a humbleness about how he achieved each of his accomplishments.
I was very much 'on the edge of my seat' as i listened to his every word.
Thanks Yaakov!
