  Why Jewish Life Feels So Expensive These Days 25.03.2026 1h 36m

  Why does Orthodox Jewish life feel so expensive these days?In this deeply thoughtful conversation, Rabbi Chaim Zvi Senter shares his perspective on money, family pressure, entitlement, resilience, emunah, and the rising cost of Jewish life.From housing in Israel to tuition, kollel support, fundraising culture, and the pressure parents feel to keep up, Rabbi Senter offers clarity, warmth, and hard truth. Drawing on decades of life in Eretz Yisroel, he speaks candidly about what has changed, what hasn’t, & where many families are quietly struggling.Why do so many parents feel overwhelmed by the financial expectations of frum life? Are children becoming entitled or are adults simply afraid to say no? Should every child be sent to learn in Israel, even when the cost is crushing? And what happens when tzedakah starts to feel more like gambling than giving?Along the way, Rabbi Senter speaks about visiting children learning in Israel, raising emotionally healthy and resilient families, and how to strengthen emunah when money feels tight and the future feels uncertain.He also addresses the cultural messages we are sending our children through the luxuries we normalize, the prizes we offer, and even the way we fundraise.Let's not lose sight of what really matters!Email: rabbisenter@adereshatorah.com👉 ✬ SPONSORS OF EPISODE 111 ✬► BF DESIGN – Welcome our newest advertiser to the Kosher Money family. BF Design is a studio and architectural services firm specializing in commercial, residential, multi-family, and healthcare projects. Their approach is simple: get the early stages right. From feasibility and codes to practical, efficient design, they help make sure your project can actually be built AND built well. With 50+ professionals, 20+ years of experience, and over 50 million square feet planned, BF Design brings smart planning and beautiful execution to every project. Visit https://bfdesign.com or reach out at 732.961.1202 or info@bfdesign.com► GOLD STAR MECHANICAL – This is a trusted HVAC company located in the Five Towns, serving Long Island, and New York City. I know because I (Eli) used them! Super service and terrific work. They do repairs, installs, and preventative maintenance for everything from rooftop units to central air systems. New preventative maintenance customers can save 10% off their first year, with custom plans and pricing based on your building, number of units, and system needs. Mention my name when you call 516-246-5252 or email office@goldstarmechanicalny.com. A really great team. Visit https://goldstarmechanical.com/ to learn more. Enjoy!► BITBEAN – Your custom software solution with incredible talent at a fraction of the price it used to be. Learn more at https://bitbean.link/4edg53► COLEL CHABAD – Feeding families in Israel since 1788. Make a difference today: https://ColelChabad.org/KosherMoney✬ Helpful Resources ✬• Living Smarter Jewish brings free financial coaching to families: https://livingsmarterjewish.org/• Kosher Debt Help – Honest, agenda-free help if you’re in debt: https://www.kosherdebthelp.com/• Kosher ADHD – Practical guidance for families living with ADHD: https://kosher-adhd.com/Follow Kosher Money on TikTok & Instagram: @koshermoneypodVisit our website: https://www.livinglchaim.com/Call-in Hotline: USA 605-477-2100 | UK 0333-366-0154 | Israel 079-579-5088WhatsApp feedback: 1-914-222-5513Hosted by Eli Langer, Kosher Money is the Jewish finance podcast from Living Lchaim that shares financial advice and a Jewish approach to money and business.#KosherMoney #RabbiChaimZviSenter #RabbiSenter #JewishMoney #FrumLife #JewishParenting #Emunah #Tzedakah #Kollel #Israel #TorahPerspective #LivingLchaim #EliLanger #km

  The Hidden Pressure Your Kids Feel About Money 18.03.2026 1h 43m

  Why do kids feel like everyone else has more?In this thoughtful and eye-opening conversation, Rabbi Ari Schonfeld shares practical insights on parenting, money, social pressure, and how children develop their sense of self in a world filled with comparisons. From growing up in a home with very little, to leading a yeshiva and running a summer camp, Rabbi Schonfeld offers a rare perspective on what kids actually notice about money — and what parents often underestimate. When do children start comparing themselves to others? Why do brands, vacations, and clothing suddenly matter so much? And how can parents raise kids who feel confident and proud of their values, even when they can’t have everything their friends have?Along the way, Rabbi Schonfeld shares powerful stories about childhood, school environments, parenting challenges, and one unforgettable moment when a teenager said something that stopped him in his tracks: “I don’t want his trips. I want him.”This is an honest conversation about money, parenting, pressure, and what kids really want from the people raising them.I’m grateful to have had this conversation with Rabbi Ari Schonfeld.R’ Ari’s podcast can be found on:Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-learning-curve-mishpacha/id1744827367Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5ISRvKPoVS77dZqbbDNx1e?si=RnoE0DF9RLuAbHQbYAqYWAHere is Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz’s phenomenal talk on betting: https://youtu.be/ahvN4L-fDQQ👉 ✬ SPONSORS OF EPISODE 110 ✬► GOLD STAR MECHANICAL – This is a trusted HVAC company located in the Five Towns, serving Long Island, and New York City.

  Rav Reuven Feinstein: Why Working Harder Won't Make You Rich (According to the Torah) 19.02.2026 1h 24m

  What really determines how much money you make?In this wide-ranging and refreshingly honest conversation, Rabbi Reuven Feinstein shares deeply practical Torah insights on livelihood, wealth, hustle culture, Shabbos spending, charity, and the balance between hishtadlus (effort) and bitachon (trust).From growing up with very little, to teaching on a modest salary, to discussing billionaires and million-dollar questions — Rabbi Feinstein challenges the way we think about money. Is working harder the answer? Is wealth a blessing or a test? How much hishtadlus is too much? And does YOUR money even belong to YOU?Along the way, he shares personal stories about Rav Moshe Feinstein, America's leading Rabbi in the previous generation, business ethics, secular education, living within your means, and why Shabbos expenses “don’t count.”I'm so thankful to Hashem that I experienced this conversation. Thank you to Avi Feinstein for making it happen.👉 ✬ SPONSORS OF EPISODE 109 ✬ ► NQGRG – Halachic estate planning made simple. Protect your family, legally and according to Torah law.

  How to Invest Wisely in 2026 10.12.2025 1h 17m

  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.► THE BUSINESS ORGANIZER – Feeling stuck in your own business?
