Meet Leandro Taub

We were lucky to catch up with Leandro Taub recently and have shared our conversation below.

Leandro, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?

I try to build my work ethic from Torah — from the understanding that work (avodah) is not merely labor, but service. The same word used for “work” in Hebrew is also used for “divine service.” That means our daily efforts, when done with the right intention, become a form of worship.

In Bereshit (Genesis), Adam is placed in the Garden of Eden “to work it and to guard it” — le’ovdah u’leshomrah. This verse teaches that from the very beginning, humanity was created to be a partner with G-d in creation. To work is to participate in that partnership — to elevate the physical world through our actions.

The Torah doesn’t glorify rest without purpose, nor work without meaning. It teaches balance — six days we labor, and on the seventh we rest to remember that all productivity ultimately flows from the Divine.

So my work ethic is driven by ambition, gratitude, responsibility, and spirituality. I see every task as an opportunity to bring order to chaos, light to darkness, and goodness into the world. Work, in that sense, becomes a spiritual act — a way of saying Hineni, “Here I am,” ready to serve.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I work as an actor, writer, and public speaker — three expressions of the same inner calling: to awaken souls through stories. Whether on screen, on stage, or on the page, my goal is to serve, to become holier.

The Torah teaches that “words create worlds.” Every time we speak or tell a story, we participate in creation itself. That’s the essence of what I do — I use narrative and performance as vessels to bring light into places of confusion or pain. Acting allows me to explore the many faces of the human experience; writing helps me translate those discoveries into meaning; and public speaking gives me the chance to connect directly with others seeking purpose and truth.

What excites me most about this path is that it’s not just art — it’s service. Through storytelling, I try to reveal the Divine spark within the human journey. My recent work bridges modern life with timeless wisdom, exploring how ancient teachings from the Torah can help us heal relationships, rediscover love, and live with integrity.

This year, I’m focused on developing new film projects rooted in what is going on in the world, with a mystical view, as well as the promotion of my recent book ROMANCE. I believe that when art is born from truth, it doesn’t just entertain — it elevates.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

The three qualities that have shaped my journey most deeply are trust, discipline, and compassion.

Trust — bitachon — is the foundation of everything. In Torah, trust isn’t passive; it’s a living confidence that G-d is guiding every moment, even the difficult ones.

Discipline — gevurah — gives structure to inspiration. The Torah teaches that even divine creation followed order: “There was evening, and there was morning.” The light of creativity needs the vessel of routine to shine. For me, that means writing daily, rehearsing with full presence, and honoring commitments. Discipline isn’t the enemy of art; it’s the guardian of its expression.

Compassion — chesed — is the heart of it all. Whether I’m acting, speaking, or writing, I try to approach every person and story with empathy. The Baal Shem Tov said that when you see a flaw in someone else, it’s a reflection of what you’re meant to refine in yourself. Compassion transforms judgment into understanding — and that’s what makes both art and life redemptive.

To anyone starting out: don’t rush to “arrive.” Build your vessel — your mind, your heart, your character. When those are strong, your light will naturally find its way into the world.

How would you describe your ideal client?

My ideal client or collaborator is someone who values depth — who understands that art and storytelling are not just entertainment, but tools for transformation. Whether I’m working with a director, a producer, or an audience, I’m drawn to people who care about truth more than trend.

The Torah says, “Deep calls unto deep.” Real connection happens when two souls meet in sincerity. I look for that — for individuals and teams who are open, honest, and committed to creating something meaningful. I love collaborating with those who see creativity as a sacred act — who approach the process with humility, discipline, and heart.

The best partnerships I’ve had are with people who understand that purpose and excellence can coexist — that beauty matters, but so does intention. When that alignment exists, the work naturally becomes something higher than any of us alone.
