We explore one of the most sensitive and least discussed topics in Jewish life: money and marriage.
To unpack all this, we sat down with Sarah Nissel, an attorney, law professor at Pepperdine, and Executive Director of the Jewish Divorce Assistance Center of Los Angeles.
After mediating over 300 divorces, Sarah has learned what truly makes (and breaks) relationships when it comes to money + how self-awareness, communication, and education can prevent heartbreak.
She shares candid lessons from the front lines: how to talk about money without shame, how to manage conflict constructively, and why the chuppah isn’t the finish line, it’s the starting line.
It’s a powerful, eye-opening conversation about emotional intelligence, financial transparency, and Torah values in Jewish relationships — not just how to avoid divorce, but how to build marriages that actually thrive.

We dive into one of the most important parts of personal finance: building wealth that actually lasts.
- Is it possible to grow wealth quickly?
- How can ordinary people invest wisely in 2026?
- What does it really mean to “pay yourself first”?
- Which investing mistakes do most people make?
To walk us through it, we sat down with Jonathan Shenkman, a financial adviser who has spent nearly two decades helping families take control of their money.
He explains how to set up savings that run automatically, how to choose the right investment accounts, and why keeping things simple often beats trying to outsmart the market.
We also talk about how to organize your accounts, communicate about money with your spouse, and spend in a way that feels both responsible and enjoyable.
It is a straightforward, practical conversation that gives real-world guidance (not advice, duh) on how to save, invest, and live with financial peace of mind, with God's help.

In our latest episode of Kosher Money, we sit down with Rabbi Shais Taub — one of the most sought-after Jewish thinkers of our time — to explore one of life’s most misunderstood topics: money.
What's the deal with Jews AND money? Should we care what people say about it? Is money spiritual or material? Why does the Torah’s view of wealth differ so radically from society’s?
In this eye-opening and deeply soulful conversation, Rabbi Taub reveals that money is not evil — it’s energy. It’s potential that can build worlds or burn them down.

In our 101st episode of Kosher Money, we take you out of town to Columbus, Ohio, one of America’s most surprising, affordable, and fast-growing Jewish communities.
If you’ve ever wondered what out-of-town Jewish life really looks like, this episode will open your eyes.
Rabbi Avi Goldstein and Meir Perlmutter share how Columbus became a thriving hub of Orthodox life, complete with kosher restaurants, strong schools, affordable homes, and a deep sense of connection.
We explore:
🏡 Why housing in Columbus costs a fraction of what it does in Lakewood or the Five Towns
💰 How families are saving tens of thousands of dollars in tuition in Ohio
👨👩👧👦 What it means to raise kids in a community where everyone knows your name
🌟 How two passionate community builders helped turn a small Midwest city into a center of Jewish growth
Columbus appears to offer a calmer, more intentional Jewish lifestyle with less financial pressure and more opportunities to start something big.
If you’ve ever said, “I could never leave the tri-state,” this episode might make you think again.
Visit https://www.columbuspathways.org/ to learn more. You can also email Rabbi Goldstein at Rabbi@BJcolumbus.org or contact 614-448-8396.
And, no, this wasn't a paid episode. We don't do paid episodes. :-)

In our 100th Kosher Money episode, we chat with Richard Simon, a guy who went completely offline for a year. What he learned might totally change how you see your phone.
We were promised connection and convenience, but most of us just feel more anxious and distracted. In his book Unplug, Richard talks about how our devices quietly steal our focus and shape our lives without us even realizing it.
If you’ve ever felt glued to your phone, this episode might be the nudge you need to finally take a break.

In this episode, you’ll hear how Dovid Lichtenstein went from selling encyclopedias door to door to owning billions in real estate, and why he tore up a food stamp application instead of playing it safe.
Want to build wealth and keep your soul intact? Let’s get into it.
(And yes, he actually paid off a 100 million dollar personal debt. With one check.)

⚠️ Reminder: This episode or description is not financial advice. Always do your own research.
Most people think money is about math. But after 90-plus episodes of Kosher Money, I’ve learned it’s really about behavior.
In this solo episode, we slow down and ask the questions most people never do. What is money actually for? Why do so many smart, capable people still feel broke? And how do you build real wealth without chasing every shiny object?
This episode explores the patterns behind financial stress, lifestyle creep, and the quiet pressure to keep up. We talk about budgeting, not as restriction, but as clarity. About debt, not as failure, but as a weight people carry in silence. And we explore why investing even small amounts can lead to big shifts in confidence and peace of mind.
You’ll also hear why growing your income doesn’t help if your lifestyle grows faster. Why the richest people often live the simplest lives. And why giving when you have a little is what prepares you to give when you have a lot.
These are lessons drawn from real guests, real stories, and the thinking of people like Morgan Housel who remind us that money is more about how you behave than how much you know.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, anxious, or just curious about how to make better choices with money, this episode is for you. Take a breath. Press play. Let’s rethink what money really means.

Why are Orthodox Jewish weddings so expensive? 💸
In some circles, it’s normal to spend over $120,000 on a single wedding. My friend Mayer Gold joins us to break down why this happens – and whether we can actually change it.

Eli Riesel was a successful real estate developer who left his high-powered career to fully immerse himself in Torah learning, seeking deeper meaning and fulfillment. Despite achieving spiritual peace, Rabbi Eli was later indicted for bank fraud linked to his past business dealings and faced over 300 years in prison but refused to testify against others. His story is one of radical transformation, unwavering faith, and the pursuit of true purpose over material success.

In this jaw-dropping and soul-stirring episode, Jeff Allen shares how he went from a regular father fighting for his son’s life to the winner of MrBeast’s $10 million Beast Games. But this isn’t just a story about money. It’s about purpose, prayer, and the unshakable belief that Hashem can turn anything—even a game show—into a divine mission. After discovering that his son Lucas has a rare brain disorder with no cure, Jeff devoted his life to raising awareness and funding research. Winning Beast Games wasn’t about fame, it was about giving his son, and others like him, a fighting chance. 🙏 How did Jeff get through 100+ hours of psychological warfare to win $10M? 🧒 What does a father do when $10 million might save his son’s life?🕊️ What made him almost walk away from it all—midway through the competition? 💸 Would he risk it all for a shot at $100 million?🧠 What is Creatine Transport Deficiency—and why has no one heard of it? 🎮 What really goes on behind the scenes of the biggest game show ever? This episode will leave you in awe of what a father’s love and divine intervention can truly achieve.• Donate to the fundraiser for Lucas here.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Mendy Feferkorn shares why he’s on a mission to bring financial awareness to the Hasidic community and beyond—without any personal gain.
After facing a financial blind spot himself, Mendy—a self-described "regular Jew"—realized that many Orthodox Jewish families simply don’t know what they don’t know.
From the dangers of credit cards to the importance of starting to save for your child’s wedding the day they’re born, Mendy walks us through practical, Torah-aligned financial strategies every family needs to hear.
💸 How can $5 a day turn into over $100,000?
💳 Why is living on credit destroying frum households?
🏦 What’s the best way to set up retirement savings without a broker?
🛡️ Why is life insurance not optional—and what is Areivim USA?
His message is clear: You don’t need to be rich to live responsibly. You need discipline, consistency, and the awareness to plan for the future.
Whether you’re 25, 42, or 60, this episode is a must-watch for anyone serious about securing their family’s financial future—with Hashem’s help.

Today, we’re talking about one of the biggest stressors in modern life: money.Why do we work harder than ever yet still feel trapped? Why does financial pressure dominate our choices? And most importantly, are we chasing success—or just stress?
To break this down, we’re joined by Moishe Bane—a Rabbi, a lawyer, and a leader in the Jewish community. From decades of investing, advising entrepreneurs, and mentoring families to overseeing the Orthodox Union, his perspective is sharp, his insights are eye-opening, and his message? Uncomfortable, but necessary. If you’ve ever felt the weight of making a living, this conversation is for you.
