Money plays a central role in the life of an Orthodox Jew, not just practically but spiritually. From the costs of Jewish education and kosher living to the deeper meaning of earning and spending in alignment with Torah values, financial challenges are as spiritual as they are practical. Kosher Money, an original Living Lchaim podcast, dives into the intersection of Judaism and finance. Host Eli Langer, former CNBC Social Media Producer and CEO of Harvesting Media, leads thought-provoking conversations with experts on how to navigate money matters with wisdom and faith.

  5. The Clever Way Smart Jews Actually Handle Money

    17 JUN

    The Clever Way Smart Jews Actually Handle Money

    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. ✬ SPONSORS OF EPISODE 95 ✬ ► BITBEAN – Got big ideas but clunky systems holding you back?

About

Money plays a central role in the life of an Orthodox Jew, not just practically but spiritually. From the costs of Jewish education and kosher living to the deeper meaning of earning and spending in alignment with Torah values, financial challenges are as spiritual as they are practical. Kosher Money, an original Living Lchaim podcast, dives into the intersection of Judaism and finance. Host Eli Langer, former CNBC Social Media Producer and CEO of Harvesting Media, leads thought-provoking conversations with experts on how to navigate money matters with wisdom and faith.
