He founded the conservative news and opinion website @DailyWirePlus and serves as its editor-in-chief. Presently, Shapiro hosts the daily political podcast ‘The Ben Shapiro Show’, the top conservative podcast in the nation.
Ben is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in. While wearing his kippah, he put every ounce of his energy in trying to find the truth and bring logic to America.

Catholic here 👋🏻 loved this!
I love learning more about Judaism. Good bless you and God bless Israel.
Likewise
Mr.Langer....I'm a huge Ben Shapiro fan and now I'm a big fan of yours. I really enjoyed this interview and I thank you for putting it out there for us to see.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear Ben's take on mitzvos. Very in line with Chassidic philosophy, very deeply rooted...
I’m not even Jewish and I really enjoy this channel. I found Abe Breuer interview very interesting
Great interview. Thank you for allowing us to see a unique side of Ben and get to know him better.
I'm a Traditional Catholic and I love your channel. Really interested in this interview in particular as I admire Ben's work.
This is my favorite Ben Shapiro I've ever seen. And I've watched everything. Well done Yaakov and Ben.
Are you an all access subscriber?
Mine to
Too
I live in Australia and don't know Ben.What a great way to find out about him.
Very centered and practical answers always from him.Oozes Logic.Thanks Guys great podcast
Thank you so much for this episode!! I listen to Ben Shapiro's podcast every day and am thrilled to see this side of him!!:)
Thank you Yakov and Ben.
Great interview, fantastic questions and brilliant answers. You’re spreading the light of Orthodox Judaism !
I heard the audio. Thank you Yaakov for not being afraid to engage with *everything* that Ben spoke about. Lesser people would censor parts, and have our youth engage in those discussions in negative forums. By allowing these conversations in Frum settings you're doing a great service.
Thanks!
This was lovely to watch, and I agree with Ben, we need to be a light to the nations! Thanks for doing this great interview
Baruch HaShem!
Wow. Todah rabbah for this episode. It is edifying to hear Ben talk about the Torah and teach us. It is so beautiful to hear about the blessed reality y’all both get to be a part of, from learning Torah, having synagogue and community, even grocery store with kosher food that are at a fair price with genuine customer service, to families and children, to having good friends or mentors or relatives that can give good advice or wise counsel. Todah rabbah for keeping the commandments and covenant and being the light to the world.
Laila tov!

I am a 1st time listener. Big fan of Ben Shapiro. Thank you for this interview. שאלוהים יברך אותך
I respect Ben’s convictions 👍🙌👏🙏🏽❤️🔥
Wow, great interview. Excellent questions and even more amazing answers. Very impressive.
Thank you for creating this beautiful piece. Great minds together bring me joy to watch.
I didn't understand a lot of the words used, but I enjoyed the video a lot. He makes some good points about how to live a good life.
Ronald Jordan, Just give me time stamps if you'd like and I'll try to explain.
Fantastic episode, I'm learning to get more and more involved with Jewdism and I'm kinda hoping I learn more from this amazing channel
Thank you. This was truly beautiful
Thank you for your podcast. It is great always. Love Ben Shapiro too.
This was so refreshing to listen to. I did not have a very positive Jewish experience growing up,and it's always healing for me to hear healthy and productive Jews living like true Torah Jews and behaving like a mentch ,and actually living according to Jewish values . Thank you Yaakov and Ben! Keep making a Kiddish Hashem and spreading light ....
I'm sorry to hear you had bad experiences 😔 I love you my fellow Jew💕
You might want to look into Jew in the City's UA-cam channel. And also Rabbi Singer. But Jew in the City basically runs an organization for this kind of thing, Jews with bad experiences to find themselves in the community.
Same... I live in Israel, and sadly have a pretty negative relationship with Judaism
@@adishilo5773 try checking out R Doniel Katz, Ani Lipitz, there's a whole world of spiritual redemptive Torah out there
"Benjamin?"😂This was fantastic and I couldn't get enough.
love this conversation. great interview!
I believe that we need to be a light to the nations...It's a great and high call. It s also the originial call from the beginning. I agree with Ben!
As a Ben Shapiro fan and fellow Jew watching the show every day, it's nice to see Ben addressing Judaism directly. The show itself caters to the general public so Ben isn't addressing topics of Judaism on it. 🙏 Great conversation.
I want him and Rabbi Tovia Singer together. He did interview with Nissim Black. But I totally want to see him on TenakTalk. 😁
@@screamtoasigh9984 do they align politically ?
@@deus_vult8111 doesn't matter, it would be on Judaism.
@ScreamToASigh Ruth Bader Ginsburg is part of Judaism
You did beautifully, I love what you do I been following you for a while now. Ben’s a type of person who have a lot on his shoulders and he been relaxed as the interview progressed. He’s also a certain type of personality very straightforward. I really learn a lot. It was a great interview.
Thank you 🙏🏼 for all the important questions you brought.
🙏🏼🇮🇱🙏🏼
If Ben sees this, I would very very strongly urge him to take a peak into Likkutei Sichos of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Have a Chabad friend recommend a nigleh-style sicha - the Rebbe has a style that dissects a passuk, or a part of Gemara or Mishna, in a way that I feel Ben would dearly enjoy. Very, very thought provoking, intellectual breakdown of the concepts that will have you never see the source the same way again...
Big fan this man is incredibly intelligent 🧠
Amazing! I’m so inspired by his authenticity in saying he’s not “into” davening. Being real is so much more important these days.
LOL...He still davens though...it's an avodah for sure.
What the secular world doesn't understand is that rules and discipline help you have a better life. While it's fun to do whatever, there's consequences.
I'm not Jewish and deeply admire Ben Shapiro. How can someone not? He's extremely brillant.
I had no clue Ben is a BT, cool. That being said, great interview. Thanks!
The Lubavitcher spoke about being a light unto the nations before Ben was born though it's great that he promotes it of course. I too, and I'm more than old enough to be Ben's mother have been interested in this for a great deal of my life and do what I can to implement it.
Powerful episode! Thank you!
(Anxiously waiting for Arons grand opening in Monsey😆)
Glad your channel seems to have exploded! Mazel Tov!
Stunning, Ben Shapiro, You are such Special Neshama.
Don’t slow down… I love your passionate intensity!
I only knew of Ben Shapiro from listening to him on Australia’s radio ABC National. He is regularly interviewed by Philip Adam’s on “ Late Night Live”.
I’m really enjoying learning more about him in this interview.
G-d bless him big time! 🙏🏾
An inspiring human being 🎶🦋🤓
You asked good questions. Going to follow you now.
Ben and Yaakov: i think you both can keep charging forward to have families unify and for many people (even singles as I am still) to find community and to advance , in Jewish and other communities. I think that you both offer a lot of refreshing fervor for faith-oriented podcasts this way and please keep it up. and it really makes me optimistic and happy to get this brand of smart podcasting to look forward to and to advance everyday life via these life- dialogues that we can apply to. (makes sense? lemme know, Daniel Joel of Queens)
Amazing interview. Ben can/should train fellow Jews as representatives to the public to speak their minds. Would love a deep dive into what it takes to combat the anti-traditional/religious values the media holds so dearly to be able to project our message!
If there was ever a time when Jews and Christians should be unified, the time is now. Jews and Christians need to be outspoken and vocal. If we unified, I believe we would be pretty powerful and not be silenced. One voice speaking out against this crazy sinful world…is that a realistic dream?
Wooaaa... what i didn't know/ realize til this interview is, Ben doesn't turn blue when he speaks!! Man, i love this guy!!
Important video for the world to see. My children learned about this in junior high and then in May went to DC and saw the Holocaust Museum and we have one in Boston. That said I am not sure that this is still going on sadly . I stand with Israel 💯%, and always have .
#🟦❤️🙏🇮🇱Never forget
I would respond to Ben's call to be a light unto the nations that there are such people speaking out, namely Rabbi Smith, who is also calling on everyone to teach others about G-d. Also, the fact that other groups are fighting for moral values is not a bad thing, and according to Rav Avigdor Miller we should support them in their work. He also differed with Ben's opinion on antisemitism...
I’m always fascinated by the different interviews, that Ben Shapiro is on. This interview was excellent. It was fun listening to it. It was very enlightening in many ways. Questions were great.
I like that Ben is very practical, and fact-based, in the main. Maybe a little too black-and-white on some issues but I agree with him 95% of the time.
Shavuo tov! Excellent podcast, I really enjoyed it. in the interview it was mentioned that Ben Shapiro is the only Orthodox Jew in the public eye. Shmuley boteach I would believe is also in the public eye.
Not recently though. HE also did a lot of things that were not liked by Chabad. You don't also see Orthodox Jews practicing and talking about it.
Wowww. Unreal episode! So awesome to see a different side of Ben and understand who he is as a person and not just his political preferences.
A++
Yaakov - you do have non-Jewish listeners. Would it be possible to have a subtitle glossary for the Hebrew/Yiddish words please?
Yes yes yes 🙌🏻
Shabbos yes 🙌🏻
Love listening to him.
I would love to see you interview Orly Wahba, founder of the gigantic organization Life Vest Inside, and the famous Dance For Kindness!

How I enjoyed listening to Ben Shapiro, but I was disappointed as I thought I would learn more about his upbringing, as in where he had lived, any brothers and sisters, and also where his ancestry came from. He certainly is a charming, highly gifted man, one I hold in the highest esteem, and there are few enough men who can hold this prestige. Well done.
This applies to Christians & Muslims too!
The one question I wanted to hear was his view of Moshiach and how he equates that with his goals and logic
His point about people "who know a lot more than I do" could be addressing society at large is really interesting. The world has changed, and we are 'all in the same room.' At this moment, many great talmidei chachomim distance themselves from technology for understandable reasons. But this is slowly changing.
The opportunity now exists that didn't exist even a short time ago: Torah personalities can now address and possibly influence the entire world for the good. Rabbi Manis Friedman has realized this, and perhaps soon others will step up as well.
@@danm2831 Agreed, Rabbi Jonathan Sacks made terrific use of that opportunity as well.
Ben Shapiro ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for doing this! This is amazing!!!
2nd day yom tov outside of Israel: what you don't have in kedushat haMakom, you make up for in kedushat zman. (learned from R. Ari Kahn)
Great episode. I like how fast he talks but yet you understand what he says.. it's like 2x on the latest what's app update.
I love to listen to Ben Shapiro. Good interview. Thank you.
The Torah is not a buffet to pick and choose.
He says Orthodox but i am sensing more conservative talk.
I am confused and will talk to my Rabbi but millions walked to gas chambers saying the Shema and davenibg is fundamental to judaism.
Not something you can cross off the list. Especially if you represent yourself as Orthodox
4:06 p.m. 13 Dec ALWAYS love hearing from him. Very honest!!!!
Yaakov, thank you for your programming.
I’d like to suggest a guest: Rabbi Nissin Kessin. He received Simcha from Rabbi Moshe Feinstein. Strengths include Ramhal and History. He was a hashkafa consultant on the Torah U’Mesorah Holocaust Curriculum. I personally enjoy his weekly Hashkafa Podcast.
I think you me Mendel Kessin
Not Jewish, not religious, but good chat.
Thank you for this discussion! I would refer to Rav Arush's books as far as Tefilah goes. Obviously these are small sound bites and there is a lot more to say about everything!
Ben makes some fantastic points about the frum world and it's stuff your rabbeim generally avoided discussing in yeshiva.
On the subject of following your dreams:
“Don’t follow your dreams, but take them with you.” - Mike Rowe
Kol Ha Kavod Ben Shapiro, you ARE a true light!
Hello ben you have my full admiration i love to listen to you....bravo bravo bravo. Kurt from thailand
Shalom Shalom. I would really like to hear about a topic about the Lebanese Christians and the Israeli Jews; they don't seem to have a good relationship; however there are so many commonalities; I think it is more politics than religion; as to why these two groups do not get along. I have a Lebanese Christian friend who has enlightened me into their conflict with Israeli Jews; it is sad to see these two groups of people not getting along.
I think I need someone to translate this into gentile English, there were whole paragraphs I didn’t understand.
Waza, just give me time stamps and I'll try to explain.
I would also like to hear an interview with Chana Mason.
Like many here, I am a big fan of Ben Shapiro however Yaakov was really intimidated in speaking with Shapiro and as a result his questions were way too general. I would have asked him
1. What has media and Hollywood done to try to cancel you out?
2. Why is the media and corporations so Left leaning?
3. As a news source, have you missed out by not reporting during a Shabbat and holidays?
4. Tell us how you life has been in danger by reporting against the left?
5. How big is the Daily Wire now?
6. What is the fear of YouTude canceling you out?
I think you mean you'd just have asked different questions 😃
Dear Ben- I grew up on Burger King. After becoming Kosher, & not having it in 31 years, I was SO Completely Ecstatic & Satisfied by The Same Exact Taste in Tel Aviv’s Kosher BK. (I would Never eat thin fried McD’s filled with hard onions. Yes to shakes & fries.)
I think you did a great job, thanks for asking smart questions!
I loved this.
31:49 ❤❤ when Ben calls out the yiddin more knowledgeable than him for staying silent. Yaakov if your bringing the fire on to the show we can’t expect anything less than brutal honesty. Loved every minute of this episode thank you so much.
Thank you
Re: Ben's issues with understanding Yom Tov Sheni Shel Galuyos.
I think it helps to think back to Yom Tov Rishon itself. As the Gemara explains, we say in Kiddush and davening "Mekadesh Yisroel VeHazmanim" because Hashem gave Klal Yisroel the amazing power to decide when to set Yom Tov, based on our decision as to when to declare the new month. If the Sanhedrin declares Monday as Rosh Chodesh, Pesach will begin on Monday, whereas if the Sanhedrin declares Tuesday to be Rosh Chodesh, Pesach will begin on Tuesday, and we will eat chometz on Monday. Thus, Hashem makes Yisroel holy by filling our souls with holiness, and we then make the Yomim Tovim holy by deciding what day the new month begins, and hence what day shall be Yom Tov. This means that we determine on what day Hashem will judge the entire world. Similarly, since Klal Yisroel made the second day of Yom Tov holy in Chutz la'Aretz for hundreds of years, it attained a permanent holiness, and Hashem literally treats those days as Yom Tov, even though their initial reason for making it holy no longer applies.
This is confirmed by an amazing letter written over 450 years ago by Rav Shlomo Alkabetz, an esteemed member of Rav Yosef Karo's group of saintly Mekubalim in Tzfat (it is published in the Shelah), in which he describes an astounding event during the first night of Shavuos, when the voice of a malach began to speak from the mouth of the Beis Yosef, praising the incredible level of their studies on that night, and the incomparable enjoyment that Hashem had from it. Overwhelmed by what they heard, they repeated their studies on the second night of Shavuos, adding several members to their group to complete the minyan they lacked on the first night. Once again at precisely 12 midnight, the malach began to speak through Rav Yosef Karo, stating that what they achieved on this night was even greater than what they achieved on the first night. Now, one might think that since, according to our known calendar, this was not "really" the Yom Tov of Shavuos that the Torah speaks about, as evidenced by the fact that Israeli Jews were driving their cars as on any other weeknight, presumably in Heaven it is also viewed as a weeknight. Instead, they had Heavenly confirmation that in actuality Heaven itself was treating it as the holy night of Shavuos, and therefore their sacred Torah study on this night with a minyan had an even greater spiritual impact in Heaven than their study on the first night of Shavuos.
So cool thanks Yaakov
I heard his wife is a doctor maybe it's just a rumor 🤔🤷
I have some videos of the two of them together. They’re such a a cute couple.
Fact
😄👏👏‼️
I got it👍
I will have to read the torah now I read bible im Christian
We need to get Ben to make aliyah, then he could do Israeli politics.
Whoo, that would be interesting.
YES!!
He’d be a great contribution to Israel. Let’s pray that he does.
I am not a Jew I LOVE & thank God for every Jew ! We STAND With ISRAEL!
Ben, Read Rabbi Tatz and listen to Rabbi Kessin’s Hashkafa shuirim, they may help you with some of the whys and make Tefillah more appealing
I was raised in a Christian household and had it forced down my throat while watching those around me live as hypocrites(my first childhood pastor ended up being a sex offender, and the one after him ended up embezzling over $90,000 from the church). So as you can imagine that left a pretty bad taste in my mouth, and in a way tainted my worldview of religion for a long time. But now at 31 years old, coming up on a decade married to my wife, father to my 5 year old cancer survivor who is also special needs and two year old my priorities have vastly changed. And i find myself wanting more structure and core values in my life and for my household. I dont know if Judaism if what im looking for in life but im going into my studies and research with a open heart and a open mind. I think it may be a good fit for me though. I feel like a lot of the hypocrisies that turned me away from religion are addressed outright with strict rules to adhere to. I have found a local orthodox synagogue in my area and plan to go to one of their services. I really appreciate videos like these that can if even in a small way have a glimpse into the Jewish culture. Any advice, recommendations for reading, podcast or channels i should checkout to help me have a better understanding before I consider talking to a rabbi about converting would be greatly appreciated.

Great interview 🤗
20:46 - Morn Avuchem? What's that? {googles Morn Avuchem); "Did you mean: Moreh Nevuchim" ; (google translate: "an embarrassed teacher") - No, Google, I did not mean...oh...um... Click. "Guide for the Perplexed"? What's that got to do with an embarrassed teacher?...oh...Moreh Nevuchem is actually the hebrew title for "Guide for the Perplexed"...and on I go. I will never in this life not flounder like this, or so it feels.
I love Ben!
I don’t understand much cuz I’m not Jewish but I think Ben Shapiro is hot so I’m totally here for it
Love your channel too 💞
Post your questions and we'll try to answer them so you can understand.
14:00 Daf Yomi is Hebrew, literally means Daily Page ( page of the day), it's a daily page of Talmud study (Torah and commentaries - debates and discussions).
Halacha = law (plural = halachot), passuk = verse. Mishna = part of the Talmud. Chumash = Torah, gemara = Torah commentary.
He's basically I think saying he likes the law/legal stuff best 😂
(I'm Jewish but not Orthodox, so a frum (Orthodox/ religious) person might have better definitions.
Ba'al Tshuva (a secular or non religious Jew who returns/becomes religious). (See the also hot singer Nathan Goshen, who is also Baal Tshuva. So is singer Alex Clare). There is actually a UA-cam channel that's kind of like yours but for Goshen 😂).
I love Ben Shapiro
Great interview!
Okay this is epic
G D Bless You.
Wish y'all would've translated some of these phrases, didn't understand a lot of what y'all was talking about
Ben shapiro: exists
no one:
Literally no one:
Everyone: Ben Shapiro fortnite dance
Epic interview 👍🙌🔥👏🙏🏽❤️
