Jewish Culture Ventures
Rabbi Josh founded and served as Director of Co/Lab: Reimagine Jewish from 2021–2025. Conceived as an alternative to traditional institutional models, Co/Lab created new modes of engagement with Jewish life and culture—ranging from explorations of psychedelics and Jewish values to rigorous text study, a 300-person drag Purim, and a multidisciplinary food conference.
Co/Lab’s first program was Art/Lab, a fellowship for contemporary Jewish artists, co-created with Shoshana Guggenheim Kedem, who is now the Director of the newly independent Art/Lab: Innovating Jewish Arts and Culture. Rabbi Josh is Art/Lab’s Rabbinic Advisor.
Podcasts
Rabbi Josh is the host of The Genesis: Conversations About Jewish Arts and Culture, in which he interviews Jewish artists and culture bearers about their work and explores contemporary Jewish identity. The Genesis is the podcast of Art/Lab: Innovating Jewish Arts and Culture.
He also co-hosts the podcast Weird Being Jewish along with his close friends and colleagues Rabbi Jeffrey Weill and Rabbi Matt Reimer. The three amigos explore topics in Jewish life bringing their experience, occasional wisdom, and humor to bear on a range of issues in contemporary Jewish life.
