As an Korean-Canadian convert-in-progress, it is great to see other asians that have made their way to HaShem. Unlike Moshe Chaim, my parents and entire extended family are christians and look very unfavorably upon my journey to Judaism. It took several years of watching Rabbi Tovia Singer to get me out of christianity and rid myself of the filth of idolatry. I wish all the best to Moshe Chaim. Am Yisrael Chai!
Honorable indeed. Moshe Chaim was a Mashgiach at the University that I attended and is now a Japanica librarian there. He is a true mensch, and I really enjoyed hearing him share his story.
I'm a sefardic- moroccan jews How u can think like that ,they tried to killus getting along with nazi Germany . Now they want be friendly with Israel. What a Big liers ,Long life Israel WE don't need fake friznds
כל הכבוד! Even though I'm not religious, but I deeply respect people who are pure in their belief and not just accept, but are happy and fulfilled in their choice of religious way of life.
30 minutes in, when he tells his parents that the tradition they raised him with is "alive and well in the Jewish people"... I have tears in my eyes 🙌🏼💙 What an incredible man this is and what a journey he has been through. We need to thank Hashem every single day for even being aware of Him and Torah. Look how far people like this have had to go to find Truth 🙌🏼💙✡️🙏🏼
I'm Jewish Israeli from Shlomi . My hometown is blown to pieces now so I live and work inI dubai for now.... It's beyond me why Christians choose the Bourdain of being Jewish. Beautiful to see now bushido and samurai spirit which blends beautifuly into Jewish stoism. To fear only God. That's beautiful.....❤
Once a being, created by the One True G.od finds out the TRUTH and that alllll this time one has been living a distorted existence, and we can choose to live according to the TRUTH and not coercion and guilt tactics, and we can not feel scared at every turn of the fires of hell....and we can connect to THE ONE TRUE G.od without any intermediary, etc... then one who is logical and has the sense to see that continuing in error of idolatry deepens the chasm between us and The Creator. I fled Christianity once I realized all I have stated. It's better to stand with TRUTH and experience external adversity, than to continue to live in error and have internal turmoil and a nagging conscience. Be strong, though a thousand fall.....Tehillim 91.
Alex, he said it, because of the food! He was tired of sushis and sashimis... By now, he surely knows also other the great reasons one knows after being inside our people. Sh'koiach to Moishe Chaim!
@@avnertzur655 hey Avnet ....no way...I'm also 1/4 Korean I grew up with Korean and Japanese food primarily. I can assure you Japanese-Korean food is impossible to get used to is even more diverse then Jewish food. בכל מקרה אבנט תשמרי על עצמך. זה יום הזיכרון הכי עצוב שיצא לי לחוות. לא מסוגל לחוות סגירה או זכרון לחטופים כי כל יום אצלי הוא יום זכרון ,הלב לא מסוגל לשאת את הכאב שלהם. מתפלל כל יום לחזרתם. עם ישראל חי.
@@alexbadash4718 Alex, actually Avner. Now, talking seriously, of course Japanese food is great. My comments were not meant for disrespect. I've been many times to both Japan and Korea - I have great admiration for both. As for food, my taste has more to do with the Japanese one but as for people, hard to tell as all the parties I dealt with were extremely kind and honorable. Koreans are more open, and I enjoyed very much all times I went to Korea. Yet, in what is essential, both Koreans and Japanese are great nations with wonderful qualities. תודה רבה לך ולכל אנשים טובים בעולם בברכה מארץ ישראל.
@@avnertzur655 sorry avner....well I don't like the people and the culture of Koreans at all ...I'm the opposite of it in my nature. Never met Japanese people only Korean . But the culture (apologizing for capitalizm ) the stay in your lane mentality is just not Jewish to me so I reject it completely.
Bushi-Do is based on Nippon-Do according to Eliyahu Cohen, former ambassador to Japan. He wrote a book in the name of latter. He also touches on how Nippon-Do influenced the Zionism in time of Russo-Japan war. Worthwhile of a read, if you read in Japanese.
Honorable, indeed. What a beautiful and inspiring interview. Continued blessings to you and your family, and thank you for sharing your story, Moshe Chaim! Arigato gozaimasu and Am Yisrael Chai! 🇯🇵!🇮🇱
i remember there was a lot of research on the internet about the japanese having a lot of traditions and cultural practices that set them apart from chinese and koreans that made sense if they were originally intermarried with a tribe of jews. i don't know if that research is still around but its so exciting that this man found his path in judaism. just to share a few...they carried scrolls in an ark and they also buried the dead in simple shrouds amongst many other coincidences.
Such an inspiring story. Thank you Dr. Moshe Chaim for sharing your story with us. If I may express my humble opinion, I want to add that HaShem also had a reason for you to get your PHD, it would be such a Kidush HaShem if you teach at a university in your field, please try to pursue that as well.
This was very illuminating, I never had imagined the that Bushido, which I thought was mostly revolving around some warrior code, would have such ancillary for someone to convert to something perceptionally much more peaceful like Judaism. Very interesting, thanks to Moshe for sharing his journey, and thanks to this channel for uploading this interview.
Having heard more details, I grew to feal so much respect for your parents, Moshe Chaim. How dignified and honorable they are becomes very clear very quickly. But they are also those rare parents who truly love their children. They too are a very precious gift from Hashem, a rare gift not only to their children but to us all. May Hashem keep them and protect them always, and grant each of them a long, peaceful life. I know I am just an unknown strager, but please convey to them my deepest respect, Moshe Chaim.
Wish u had more time with moshe chaim, i feel like theres so much that wasnt touched upon... Such a special and intelligent man. I also like what he said abt shidduchim. Beauty fades. Loads of good mazel tov him and his loved ones.
my father is actually good friends with Moshe Chaim and works with him from time to time as well as my father is a baal tshuva and a kashrus mashgiach in Philadelphia.
It depends upon your level of Kashrut. If you don't eat in non-kosher restaurants and require a hechsher on products, it can be difficult. My friend in the United States wanted to make authentic miso soup but we could not find katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) with a hechsher that my friend required. If you are someone who does eat in non-kosher restaurants, you may think you are eating kosher (at your level) but others don't really understand, especially in another country with a different language so it is easy that the broth has some shellfish or non-kosher elements in it (even pork).
You’ll find a lot of Jews especially in Israel are atheists it’s a fun topic to research because Judaism is an ethno religion and a culture. Converting is very difficult as we are not a religion that tries to force our beliefs onto anyone else
@Makeup-eg1vf On the contrary. We try to dissuade pple,because its so difficult and demands so much dedication. Whereas when one is born to judaism and orthodoxy it is s natural to us.
As someone who is outside both Japanese and Jewish culture (but I like to study both), this is extremely interesting. I would love to hear his thoughts on the tengu from Japanese myth that holds a "tora" scroll (tiger scroll translated) LOL. Great interview, he should write that book!
many dont know it but there were jewish tribes that went to japan thats why there are wall paintings of warriors / ppl with tefilin in many places in japan there are lost tribes in japan will be revealed one day in the end of days
My Father(o"h) was a Historian and Scholar -Rabbi, He showed me proof that King Solomon sent expeditions ...to the ends of the Earth ( almost a Thousand Years before the Common Era) ...and several other things ...as well as the Flag of Hojaido ....with its ....Magen David.....!
Absolutely amazing interview Baruch Hashem! Wonderful to see the similarities between both great ways of life. Hashem is bringing his people together whom have a Jewish Neshama from all over the world..
amazing guest.. I would note though you putting an advert right at the beginning of the video is absolutely insane. So wild that when you started talking to him and said at 1:22 "But before then" I thought oh this host is not gonna do another advert yet again is he!
Moshe Chaim is a VERY fitting name for you my Jewish brother, God gave it to you in that Dream 100%. Your Japanese Samurai roots have indeed proved to guide you on the Right Path, the Path of HaShem. Your story is inspiring 💙🙏🇮🇱

There was a beautiful clip (after 10/7) of a Japanese crowd marching smilingly down the street singing Am Yisrael Chai!
Wow wow wow, what a holy, pure soul!! Fascinating interview!!! I thoroughly enjoyed!!
Hashem Yishmor, chazack Baruch ... I needed this inspirational story. Thank you and God bless you
What a great conversation! I have tremendous respect for this man and his journey. ✡️❤️

I loved this interview! Please make Part 2! I would love to hear more from him. ❤
May God bless this honorable man

He's such a calming storyteller. I hope he's hired to do recordings.

Honorable. Moshe Chaim is living proof that there are no Gerim. He has obviously had a shining Neshamah since Har Sinai.
Amazing interview. Beautiful story.
Fascinating story. We were mesmerized. What an honorable man
Moshe is my favorite name! Good choice 🧿
Welcome Moishe Chaim
You are a hero

just to share a few...they carried scrolls in an ark and they also buried the dead in simple shrouds amongst many other coincidences.
That’s really interesting. There’s also the idea that Jesus was buried in Japan which made certain people believe they are Jews.
Re: 1:05:00 -- Mosche Chaim is describing Unagi, which can be found in almost any above-average Japanese sushi restaurant in the USA.
Such an inspiring story. Thank you Dr. Moshe Chaim for sharing your story with us. If I may express my humble opinion, I want to add that HaShem also had a reason for you to get your PHD, it would be such a Kidush HaShem if you teach at a university in your field, please try to pursue that as well.
Fabulous interview. Moshe Chaim , what a star!
Thank you Moshe Chaim!
I was in Japan for Passover, vibrant community!
Moshe Chaim is incredible I remember him growing up in la he always was always asking questions about something.
I love these people who you wouldn’t expect to convert, but they do it and they do it legit af; like the frum way. Chazak
This was very illuminating, I never had imagined the that Bushido, which I thought was mostly revolving around some warrior code, would have such ancillary for someone to convert to something perceptionally much more peaceful like Judaism.

Bless you brother and welcome🇮🇱
All the best to Moshe Chaim and Jasmin Shinohara.
One of your best interview ever!
Wow, Baruj HaShem! 🇯🇵✡️🇮🇱
I was in Japan 1985 it was very easy to keep kosher there because the japanese are very orderly and eat mainly fish and vegatables.
It depends upon your level of Kashrut. If you don't eat in non-kosher restaurants and require a hechsher on products, it can be difficult. My friend in the United States wanted to make authentic miso soup but we could not find katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) with a hechsher that my friend required.

I was atheist im attracted to Judaism now 😊 the hate what made me interested in Jewish people
❤
You’ll find a lot of Jews especially in Israel are atheists it’s a fun topic to research because Judaism is an ethno religion and a culture. Converting is very difficult as we are not a religion that tries to force our beliefs onto anyone else
@@Makeup-eg1vfThat's what I love about the Jews they're so chill, they truly don't force people into their religion, unlike that one religion.
Same here.

Whereas when one is born to judaism and orthodoxy it is s natural to us.

We fight as one ☝️
Love ❤️ you Brother
Yallah🙌🙌🙌
This was awesome ❤. Moshe Chaim you are such a wonderful and impressive speaker. Hazak!
I really enjoyed this. Moshe Shinohara was very knowledgeable, interesting, and engaging. Thank you.
INTELLIGENT MAN, GOD BLESS HIM!
im so proud a guy smart like u joins our tribe
As someone who is outside both Japanese and Jewish culture (but I like to study both), this is extremely interesting. I would love to hear his thoughts on the tengu from Japanese myth that holds a "tora" scroll (tiger scroll translated) LOL.
Great interview, he should write that book!
I wonder about that too!
So happy I just finished Shogun cause now i understand the whole samurai shpiel
Same here
Like Steve Buscemi “ not everyday going to be Cake & Ice Cream “
Real Japanese culture is very great and beautiful
What a story! As a son of two formerly-non-religous Jews, this story spoke to me. Love from Israel!🇮🇱❤️
This is so fascinating! I’m Jewish being super captivated by Japanese samurai! What a story!❤
honorable! wonderful interview.
What a fantastic individual
Most HONORABLE !
Great, inspirational conversation!
Beautiful life story
Anazing video. So anyone who still thinks that 'Jews are a race' need to watch this interview. Baruch Hashem. ❤👨🔯🇯🇵
many dont know it but there were jewish tribes that went to japan thats why there are wall paintings of warriors / ppl with tefilin in many places in japan there are lost tribes in japan will be revealed one day in the end of days
My Father(o"h) was a Historian and Scholar -Rabbi,
He showed me proof that King Solomon sent expeditions ...to the ends of the Earth ( almost a Thousand Years before the Common Era) ...and several other things ...as well as the Flag of Hojaido ....with its ....Magen David.....!
This brings to mind Chiune Sugihara the righteous gentile from Japan who saved many thousands.
Absolutely amazing interview Baruch Hashem! Wonderful to see the similarities between both great ways of life. Hashem is bringing his people together whom have a Jewish Neshama from all over the world..
Powerful story!
💛💛💛
God bless you Moshe!! Congratulations on your continued journey!!!
Another great episode. What a journey. Riveting.
Very touching story!
Honorable !!! Enjoyed this one also !
I am a relative of Abraham Kotsuji - Shinto
What a beautiful spirit this man has! An open mind, filled with desire to improve and learn and preserve the honor of his people!!
Thanks brother love from India

the formal word for thank you is domo arrigato

It makes sense. The Jews have alredy Amorai and Savorai. We must also add a samurai..
😂😂
Honorable!! is the perfect description BH for special ppl that make the world a better place
A very special man
Honorable! Arigato
Great discussion about parables of eastern religion and philosophy.Bushido is one of those books i enjoying reading

The title is like a circumcised Samurai.
割礼を受けた侍みたいな動画のタイトル。
This guy rocks!

Fabulous interview
Did i just hear a japanese man speak Jiddisch?? 😂😂❤
beautiful and HONORABLE
I love the story, he is really honorable 😂
The best part is his parting message! Just let go and accept what hashem wants for you
Now I've seen it all.
This was the most inspiring and sincere story of conversion to Judaism.
