Chapter 1: Who is Jewboi and what is the story behind his name?
Okay, guys, got Jewboy on the show today. Thanks for having me. What a name. Yeah, I mean, my real name is obviously not Jewboy. Well, actually, that's my Instagram handle is not Jewboy, but my real name is Tzvi. It's Hebrew, it means deer, but that's boring. When I was, I guess a few years ago, and I was just sitting by myself and I thought Jewboy would be a cool online name.
I just thought, you know, boy spelled with an I. It wasn't even, I didn't even know it was like, could be taken derogatory. And then a few years later, I go online and people start calling me like an effing Jew boy. And I'm like, yeah, that's exactly, that's like what my name is. And then my friends were telling me, no, they're making fun of you.
And I was like, oh, but I just thought it was a cool name. I didn't even know there's anything bad with it. And actually my great grandfather or this interrelative, he was a Holocaust survivor. And he said when he was in Germany, like before Hitler took power, he said like his friends, his non-Jewish friends in his class, they used to call him Jew boy. And there was nothing wrong with it.
It was just a fun little nickname. And once Hiller came to power, then the name got more of that bad meaning. But he used it in that way, and I always found that interesting. But I just thought it was a cool name. And yeah, now it's my name online. And now in the digital era, people are probably calling you it nonstop.
Yeah, but what I'm sort of trying to do right now is, you know, I want to get big enough to the point where when you hear Jew boy, you're thinking of me as a person versus the actual bad name that it could be. Because it's one of those in-between names where it's like, is that a, like, could you say that online? Could you not? I always tell people they could call me that.
You want to normalize it? Yeah, 100%. Like, That when people say that name, they're just thinking of me. Yeah. Because if you scroll on X, I'm sure you see that a lot.

Chapter 2: How does Tzvi debunk antisemitism and misinformation about Jews?
Oh, 100%. And I'm like, yeah, but I want to get to the point where one day, you know, they're calling someone a freaking Jew boy. And they're like, oh, you mean that guy? You know, that's just what I'm trying to do. X is crazy, man. I mean, these guys are... It's not a fun place for Jews. And I know people are sick of hearing about Jews whining and stuff.
But at the same time, you know, we want to be constantly whining if things weren't constantly being said. Like, you got these schmoes like freaking Sneako, Nick Fuentes, Dan Bilzerian, you know, Jake Shields, Jackson Hinkle. Like, you got these guys, they're pretty much dedicated to just... I guess blatantly lying about Judaism. I think they get like a hard from it or something.
It's something they're just really obsessed with the Jews. They have this whole thing that they'll call you an anti-Semites, but never a liar. And I'm looking at the things they say about Jews and I'm thinking, no, no, you're like a liar. You're like a blatant liar. Do you know what the Talmud is? heard of it, but I can't say I'm an expert. Yeah.
So the Talmud is a book that pretty, that is a, it's essentially Jewish Reddit. A bunch of ancient rabbis got together and they're like, okay, let's try to figure out certain laws in Torah. Let's sort of like clarify the things written in the Torah. Meaning, let's say that in the Torah, it says you can't cut the hair off the five corners of your face.
But then it's like, okay, what are the five corners of your face and what the hell is even considered cutting? So, you know, the Talmud is essentially trying to figure that out. It's open discussion. Majority of the things in there are hearsay. You know, it's not a book of law. It's just, you know, you want to figure out how you get to a final law.
So it's usually those guys figuring those things out. And you have these guys like Dan Bilzerian, who freaking, by the way, has a weird ass haircut. And no, I'm just saying, no, like it's kind of interesting. And he freaking, he like trims his beard to give himself a fake jawline, which completely unrelated. Point is, he'll say stuff like,
Well, it says in their Talmud, which I don't know how he got mood from that, that people that aren't Jewish are considered animals. And I'm like, where the hell does it say it? They'll quote, I think it's like, I don't know what it is, like some quote in the Talmud. And he'll say, yeah, it says that non-Jews are animals.
And I'm like, I learned that shit when I was in school, when I was younger before becoming a rabbi. And it's like not at all what it says. And those lies spread so quickly and easily on Twitter because it sort of became a justification for a lot of people on Twitter to not like Jews. Because it's like, oh, look, their book, their holy book, which isn't even a rule book, by the way,
says that we're animals. So, you know, screw them. We'll use this as an excuse. You look inside the verse and it's like, it doesn't say that at all. The Talmud is like having a, like, listen, I'll debunk it in like two minutes because that's how easy it is to debunk this stuff.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of the Talmud in Jewish tradition and misconceptions about it?
I don't know if you've been seeing it, but I'll see videos with hundreds of thousands of likes, just anti-Jewish. And I used to not get into those things before. You know, I started off on social media just being more, just making jokes. Yeah, you used to react to South Park videos. I would react to Jewish jokes in South Park, family guy. I'm very, I'm not like a sensitive guy.
I joke about Jewish stuff all the time. I mean, that's how I grew in the beginning. And then I just see, wait, you guys, you're not being serious when you say we think non-Jews are animals, right? And they're like, no, you guys are and you're the spawn of Satan. And that's why we have to like, they're not going to say get rid of us.
But, you know, these guys have some sort of plan that involves Jews not being around. So I'm just basically coming online and saying, no, you're like wrong. You're like a liar and like an idiot and need some help. Right. Would you lump Ian Carroll into these names you're mentioning? Ian Carroll, I've seen his name before. I haven't seen too much of him.
So I don't really know per se. Did you watch the Douglas Murray, Dave Smith debate on Joe Rogan? I didn't watch it. I heard of it. People were telling me to watch that debate. I didn't get too deep into it. Where were they getting into Tom with things? I don't know. It's just interesting how people just take one side before even watching it.
Right. You know, 100 percent. These guys won't like I didn't form an opinion. I assume one side is more is, I guess, more pro-Jew. One side's more or less like I'm not obviously like as a Jewish guy, you know, but there's a bias. But I'm going to I'm going to watch that thing before I give any opinion on it. You just asked me. I want to watch that episode first before I before I give anything.
I'm willing. I'm willing to hear people out, which is why when people lie about Jews on the Internet, majority of Jews, majority of like even older rabbis than me. They won't even look at it. They don't even know it exists because they're off the internet. They don't even know that we're being lied about on the internet. Yeah, you're 21 as a rabbi. I'm 21. That's super young, right?
Yeah, I became a rabbi really young. So I'm a part of the Chabad movement. It's a sect. It's like a sect of Hasidic Judaism, which is just more of a spiritual, doing everything with joy and things like that. And so the leader of that movement, he passed away in the 90s. His name was Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.
And he pretty much said that every single young man should become a rabbi before he gets married.

Chapter 4: How do online figures like Dan Bilzerian and Nick Fuentes spread falsehoods about Judaism?
So definitely not on TikTok. Oh, definitely. Definitely on TikTok. Instagram promotes anti-Jewish stuff. I see reels with just full on Nazi propaganda. I mean, yeah, it's to say that Jews just have control on media and things like that. It's just stupid because I'm seeing more of that stuff than any. And they'll say and I'll talk to my friends and be like, is this just my feed? Is this...
You know, I don't know if you're seeing any of that on your feed. I see it on Twitter, not really Instagram, but Instagram kind of caters to what you like, I think. Right, right. So I'm not liking any Jew hatred videos. So I don't think I get those. No, I don't like any of these.
They're just getting shown to me. Well, for you, you probably comment on them. Probably. So that probably thinks you like it. It makes, you know.
Yeah, no, I mean, I saw a video with half a million likes. Damn. And I was saying, me after finding out I'm 0.1% Jewish and it was a guy driving into traffic. Yeah. It's funny, but it's like, this is half, this has like millions of views and half a million likes of people. And like a lot of them are probably just liking it because it's funny and there's a humor side to it.
But at the same time, it's, oh, there's a, this has a little bit too many likes for my comfort. I mean, a lot of, a lot of people getting into that. Some water spilling. It's spilled, but I'm good. Why do you think it's so popular just to hate on Jewish people right now?
Because we're like extremely... Oh, right now it's because October 7th 100% just magnified everything. Just the topic of Jews in general just got more popular. But it's the same stuff that's always been said. Jews run the world. Jews own the banks. This, this, and that. Because... We're a small community. We've been persecuted.
Somehow, someway, we always figure out a way to get successful afterwards. It happened time and time again. And you have these neo-Nazis now who think, oh, but if we do, we're going to gather together and get rid of the Jews again. Well, guess what, clown? They did that like a hundred times. And none of those nations exist anymore. And Jews are still here.
So, you know, it hasn't really been working. It's scary. That's a possibility of that happening to Jewish people. Yeah.
it is a scary possibility, but like, I'm not trying, I don't think about that stuff because one, I believe in God and I believe that we're here for a reason and that Jews are here for a reason to spread light into the world and to uplift the world and to help everyone, Jews, non-Jewish, to help uplift the world.
