From Growing Up Poor to Managing Millions: The Untold Story of Naftali Horowitz Nov 04, 2026

Show notes

Rabbi Naftali Horowitz has spent decades helping people build and protect their wealth. But growing up as the child of Holocaust survivors, his own relationship with money was shaped by fear and financial insecurity.

"I never tried to become wealthy. I just ran so far away from poverty."

In this episode of Kosher Money, Rabbi Horowitz opens up about his childhood, the anxiety he still struggles with today, and why building your net worth is not the same as building your self-worth.

We also get into the $56 million fortune lost in the Bernie Madoff scandal, a businessman who turned down a potential $2 million deal to finish his breakfast, why Rabbi Horowitz gave up WhatsApp and his personal smartphone, and the financial mistakes he wishes more people would avoid.

It's a conversation about money, success, anxiety, family, and figuring out what actually matters.

Rabbi Horowitz's new book, Foundations for Success, is available here:

A Rabbi Gets Surprisingly Honest About Money Oct 27, 2026

Show notes

Rabbi Simon Jacobson has spent decades teaching people how to live a meaningful life. But how does he think about money?

We started with a question most people wouldn’t dare ask a rabbi: How much money do you make every year?

To our surprise, he answered.

And that opened the door to a much bigger conversation about why we’re so uncomfortable talking about money, why wealthy people sometimes go to great lengths to hide what they have, and how easily our bank accounts become tied to our sense of self-worth.

In this episode of Kosher Money, Rabbi Simon Jacobson gets remarkably candid about his own finances, buying his first home with almost no money, raising funds for the Meaningful Life Center, and the fears that have sometimes held him back from growing his organization.

We also explore why he calls money one of the most powerful drugs, how wealth can tear families apart, and why having more money doesn’t necessarily mean having more peace of mind.

Then the conversation takes an unexpected turn: artificial intelligence, Elon Musk’s predictions about the future of wealth, and Rabbi Jacobson’s fascinating belief that technology may be preparing us for a world where earning a living is no longer the center of our lives.

It’s a wide-ranging conversation about money, emunah, ambition, generosity, AI, and what makes a life truly meaningful.

Learn more about Rabbi Simon Jacobson and the Meaningful Life Center at https://www.meaningfullife.com/ or explore his AI-powered resource at https://simonjacobson.ai/

Kicked Out at 13, Millionaire at 26, Miserable at 28 Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

Tuvy Lemberg wasn't exactly the kid anyone expected to become a successful entrepreneur.

He struggled in school, got kicked out, dropped out as a teenager, and spent years trying to figure out where he belonged.

Then he built a photography products company that brought in millions of dollars in revenue.

The money came. The nice cars came. The recognition came. But the happiness he thought would come with all of it? Not so much.

In this episode of Kosher Money, Tuvy shares his remarkable journey from struggling student to successful business owner, why financial success left him feeling empty, how he found his way back to Yiddishkeit, and what he learned about taking risks, building businesses, finding love, and starting over.

It's an honest conversation about money, happiness, bitachon, and why it's never too late to change the direction of your life.

We also get into his latest business venture, Primal Crisp, and what it takes to turn an idea into a real business.

His contact is tuvylemberg@gmail.com

She Built a Business Going After People Who Don't Pay Their Bills Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

DISCLAIMER: This episode discusses a challenge that some businesses and individuals have experienced when extending credit or waiting for payment. This is a widespread problem, not specific to one industry, one religion or one group of people. Also, it is vital to emphasize that these experiences should not be understood as reflecting the conduct of the community as a whole. The overwhelming majority of people strive to act with integrity, honesty, and in line with both the law and Torah values. Our goal here is not to stereotype or cast blame, but to have an honest discussion about a real issue. If anybody has specific questions that are relevant to their situation, they should speak to their local Orthodox rabbi. This show is not meant to offer specific halachic or legal guidance in any way, shape or form. Our hope is that by talking about this with care, we can encourage accountability, strengthen trust, and reinforce the values we all share.At 35, Rivka Brodsky was starting over with eight kids, no work experience, and few computer skills.

Years later, she built a collections business recovering millions, while helping others become financially independent.

Her story is impressive and she is a real inspiration for many.

Explaining The New Trump Accounts for Orthodox Jews Jul 09, 2026

Show notes

A new government investment account is making headlines.

Some people are calling it one of the biggest opportunities ever offered to parents. Others think it's being oversold.

So what's actually true?

In this episode, we break down the new Trump Account from top to bottom. Who qualifies, how the $1,000 government contribution works, whether it's really "free money," the tax implications, the downsides almost nobody is talking about, and whether this should be your first choice over a 529 plan or Roth IRA - don't worry I explain what those are.

If you have children, grandchildren, or hope to one day, this is an episode you'll want to understand before making any decisions.

Listen closely and enjoy.

The Rat Race Is Killing America Jun 11, 2026

Show notes

America is wealthier than ever.

We have bigger homes, nicer cars, more technology, more convenience, and more opportunities than any generation before us.

So why do so many people feel exhausted?

Rabbi Noiky Roberts has spent nearly 30 years teaching, counseling, and helping people from all walks of life. Living outside the United States has given him a unique perspective on the pressures many of us have simply accepted as normal.

In this conversation, we discuss the rat race, social media, financial pressure, comparison culture, happiness, family, mental health, and why so many people keep chasing things that never seem to satisfy.

Some of what he says may make you uncomfortable.

That may be the point.

Listen closely and enjoy.

The Silent Crisis Hitting Orthodox Jewish Families May 27, 2026

Show notes

A lot of good people are struggling to find work right now.

Some because of AI. Some because companies are cutting back. Some because the industry they spent 20 or 30 years in just doesn’t work the same way anymore.And in many cases, people are dealing with it alone.

Keevy Fried works closely with people going through exactly this. People trying to rebuild careers while supporting families, paying tuition, covering mortgages, and figuring out what comes next after a layoff, a shutdown, or a career that suddenly stalled.Give a listen. Let's help those in need.

The Truth About Jewish Home Buying May 13, 2026

Show notes

Everybody today seems to have a house, a renovation, a driveway full of cars… and a lot of people tend to wonder: “How are they doing it?”

And maybe the bigger question: “Am I supposed to be doing it too?”

Rabbi Eliezer Gewertzman speaks very honestly about the pressure people feel around money, buying homes, keeping up appearances, and living within your means.

There were moments during this interview where you could feel the room get quiet. I think a lot of people know exactly what he’s talking about.

Listen closely and enjoy.

LRRC provides clear guidance, hands-on assistance, advocacy, education, and case management for thousands of households dealing with the basics of life.
