455: Kosher Astrology on Mazel, Mission & Money with Rabbi Yitzchok Pinkesz
Feb 2, 2026
58:41
B”H Is Astrology part of Judaism? Are we allowed to use it? If so, how do we use it? In today’s conversation we explore: What is kosher astrology, and of course, what isn’t it? How can you use it to maximize your potential, and live a life of real alignment with your soul’s mission? And of course — that leads us right into our money — can kosher astrology tell you how much money you or your business is going to make? No. But, don’t give up on me just yet, because what astrology can do for you, is going to be so much more valuable; and might actually give you the push to unleash your earnings potential. Rabbi Yitzchok Pinkesz is the Author of Kosher Astrology: A Jewish Guide to Celestial Wisdom. Rabbi Pinkesz is a Torah-observant astrologer who has been practicing astrology in accordance with the Torah for over 15 years. His fascination with personal transformation led to extensive research in Jewish philosophy, psychology, and astrology. Buckle up because the topic of this conversation is on the one hand really out there, and on the other hand it can be something that really grounds us. So if you’re going through a time where you feel like you’re all over the place, or you’re stumbling, or feeling like you’re fumbling in the dark, or you’re being really challenged in a particular way, I think you will find this conversation really comforting. I never imagined saying those words about astrology. But, alas here we are. Here’s Rabbi Yitzchok Pinkesz. You can find the book on Amazon or on his website kosherastro.com where you can also learn more, and even sign up for a Birth Chart Reading.

456: The 2 Dumb Mistakes Smart Couples Make, & Why Money Isn’t the Problem with Rabbi Ben Tzion Shafier
Feb 9, 2026
59:38
B”H If you’re married — or if you ever plan to be, which I hope you do — today’s conversation is a must-listen. I’m in conversation with Rabbi Ben Tzion Shafier of Lakewood, New Jersey — author of Ten Really Dumb Mistakes That Very Smart Couples Make. You might know Rabbi Shafier already from TheShmuz.com, or from some of his books. Today we bring you an incredibly practical, eye-opening conversation. Here’s something you’ve asked many times and Rabbi Shafier addresses head on: Whose responsibility is it to provide financially for the family? And what about when the husband is in kollel? Rabbi Shafier also boils the 10 Really Dumb Mistakes that very smart couples make down to just two. And trust me, you’ve probably made them. We get into the one thing that causes every single fight in marriage. Spoiler: it’s not money. The three pillars of a successful marriage. The two most important words in marriage. And ladies, the one thing that will absolutely shatter your husband. (So you can avoid it!) We discuss the role of financial provision and the role of managing the finances — and who should really be doing what. The answer may surprise you.

B”H Today’s episode is with Emily Guy Birken — Plutus Award–winning financial writer, author of five personal finance books, and a longtime friend of the show. Emily is back with a story you need to hear. If you’ve followed Emily’s work — from The 5 Years Before You Retire to End Financial Stress Now — you know she makes complex financial topics feel clear, relatable, even comforting. She’s written for AARP, Fast Company, Yahoo Finance… and she’s been helping readers make smart money decisions for over a decade. But today, Emily’s not here to talk about retirement, Social Security, or gamification. Today, she’s here to share something far more personal — and honestly, shocking. Because despite being raised by a financial planner… despite knowing estate planning backwards and forwards… despite doing everything “right”… Emily lived through a $5.5 million inheritance nightmare that will make you rethink how you set up your own estate plan. What went wrong, how it could’ve been prevented, and the lessons we all need to hear — that’s what this conversation is about. Here’s Emily Guy Birken. You can find Emily at emilyguybirken.com and all of her books on Amazon or anywhere books are sold.

B”H Today, you’ll hear what happens when a successful financial professional is helping others build wealth… while secretly drowning in debt and avoiding his own bill collectors. Yes — that’s part of my guest’s story. In this deeply honest and eye-opening conversation, financial trainer Avraham Byers shares his personal journey — from credit card chaos and financial avoidance to clarity, responsibility, and financial confidence. And in an unexpected plot twist, Avraham shares how choosing Judaism, despite his Catholic upbringing, reshaped not just his faith, but how he related to money. We explore why traditional budgeting often fails, how emotional and spiritual emptiness shows up in spending, and why true financial change begins inside — not in a spreadsheet. Avraham also introduces what he calls the “Magic Number,” his system for finally knowing how much you can actually spend. He explains why couples fight about money even when the numbers make sense, and shares how bitachon, responsibility, and values-based decision-making can transform not just your finances — but your life. Here’s Avraham Byers. The post 458: From Financial Shame to Financial Strength with Avraham Byers appeared first on Yael Trusch.

B”H We’re challenging some communal norms today on Jewish Money Matters. Stay with me, because this conversation may be uncomfortable in the best possible way. My guest today is Rabbi Moshe Bane, president emeritus of the Orthodox Union. Rabbi Bane is also a retired senior partner at the international law firm of Ropes & Gray where he headed its department of Corporate Restructuring. Rabbi Bane has lectured and written extensively on issues relating to the American Jewish community, and was a co-founding editor of the journal, Klal Perspectives. In this episode, we talk about why the problem isn’t always the strategy—it might be the objective. And of course we relate that to money. Rabbi Bane shares insights from his popular Yeshiva University course, Designing Your Jewish Life, including the pursuit of wealth versus the pursuit of lifestyle, the “glory of failure,” and the money conversations husbands and wives need to be having. This is one insightful episode. Here’s Rabbi Moshe Bane. The post 459: Designing Your Jewish Life with Rabbi Moshe Bane appeared first on Yael Trusch.

B”H Welcome to a new series on the Jewish Money Matters podcast: Living With the Times. In this episode, Yael explores the connection between Parashat Tatzria–Metzorah and our financial lives through the lens of bitachon—true reliance on G-d. Drawing from the Targum Onkelos, Midrash, and Talmud, she uncovers how bitachon impacts not only personal financial outcomes, but even the broader reality of redemption. You’ll also hear powerful stories that illustrate the connection between bitachon and parnassah (sustenance), along with practical tools to strengthen your trust in Hashem—including the transformative practice of reframing, as learned from Parashat Metzorah.

B”H Today’s episode of Jewish Money Matters is all about journaling. I love journaling! Do you? Well today you might become a fan too, especially after you learn about its power in helping you heal many areas of your life, including a complicated or challenging relationship with money.

Merle very candidly shares her personal story of financial hardship, and how journaling helped her through it—while also helping her recognize the areas of her life where she needed to change and take responsibility. Ultimately, this conversation isn’t just about journaling, but about doing the kind of inner work that not only changes your life in the present, but ultimately shapes the legacy you leave behind.

B”H Claim 25% in the course Bitcoin and the Future: Why Jewish History Makes This Technology Impossible to Ignore at yaeltrusch.com/bhforbitcoin with code jewishmoneymatters. We spend so much time learning how to earn money, how to invest it, how to grow our wealth. But how often do we actually stop and ask: Is my money really mine? And I don’t mean that in a philosophical or spiritual sense. I mean it in a very real, practical way. Because when you start looking at government policies, inflation, and at what’s happened throughout history—especially Jewish history—it kind of forces you to think about money a little differently. That’s what this conversation is really about. Yes, we’re talking about Bitcoin—but not in the way you might be used to hearing about it. This is not a hype conversation. It’s not about jumping on a trend or getting rich quick. We’re talking about something much deeper: money, ownership, and what we can learn from both financial systems and Jewish history about protecting what we have. All with Josh Varon, the founder of BH for Bitcoin—an educational platform where he teaches Bitcoin through both a practical and a Jewish lens. In this episode, Josh breaks down what Bitcoin is in a way that actually makes sense, why he believes the current monetary system is fundamentally flawed, and how thinking about money through the lens of Jewish history can completely shift the way we approach saving and financial security. Whether you’re skeptical, curious, or somewhere in between, this episode is really about understanding—not convincing. And if you want to go deeper, Josh has a great course called Bitcoin and the Future: Why Jewish History Makes This Technology Impossible to Ignore.

B”H Join Bitcoin and the Future: Why Jewish History Makes This Technology Impossible to Ignore at yaeltrusch.com/bhforbitcoin and use the code jewishmoneymatters to get 25% off. My guest today, Dr. Salomon Imiak, shares a fascinating and emotional story of resilience. He was born in Havana, Cuba to a Jewish family in 1960, right about the time Fidel Castro had come into power. Today he is a very accomplished anesthesiologist in Hollywood, Florida. But, it took him 30 years to fulfill his dream of becoming a doctor. His story of escaping Cuba and of eventual professional success is not what you might know as the more typical Jewish Cuban American story. Dr. Imiak escaped Cuba in 1985, not to land in Miami to a supportive community, but to face many setbacks and challenges, including of course financial challenges. But, the lessons you will hear from him are priceless. Pay attention to the humility, the mentchlikite, the love of family, of G-d, his Torah, and most outstanding, his perseverance. I think these are lessons our generation and our children’s generation need to hear more of. And above all, notice the role of his dear wife Esther, who I think he might agree is the shining star of this whole interview. And who you will come to love just from hearing about her. Here’s Dr. Salomon Imiak. The post 467: From Survival to Trust with Dr. Salomon Imiak appeared first on Yael Trusch.

B”H My guest today is Rabbi David Eliezrie, author of the newly released and highly acclaimed book Undaunted: How the Sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe Saved Russian Jewry, Reimagined American Judaism, and Ignited a Global Jewish Renaissance. This is a fascinating conversation that will give you a much deeper appreciation for the sixth Chabad Rebbe’s impact on Judaism as we know it today — from Jewish education, to communal leadership, to the very survival and rebuilding of Jewish life in America and beyond. And as you’ll hear throughout this interview, many of the battles he fought were also financial. You’ll hear many episodes, some of them obscure and unknown. For example, how sixth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, went out on a financial limb to save what some might have considered “the competition” — one of the most important Torah institutions in America at the time, Yeshivas Torah Vodaath. Rabbi Eliezrie is also the author of the highly popular book The Secret of Chabad, which was recognized by the National Jewish Book Awards. He serves on the board of the Jewish Agency for Israel, has been active in global Jewish affairs for decades, and has served as a Chabad shliach in Yorba Linda, California for over thirty years. And in what felt like a special bonus for my audience, Rabbi Eliezrei also candidly shared some of his own stories of financial struggle, miraculous outcomes, fundraising, risk-taking, and bitachon along the way. You’ll want to listen and internalize his life lessons. Here’s Rabbi David Eliezri.

B”H Today’s conversation is officially about business leadership, but it’s so much more than that. It’s about the hidden cost of becoming the person everyone depends on. If you’re trying to keep family life running smoothly — aren’t we all?- then this conversation is for you. Because we are leaders of our homes too. And my guest today knows this well. She looked around at the way so many capable people-herself included- are living and leading, and said: “This can’t be normal.” This became the title of her newly released book This Can’t Be Normal: What to Do When Success Starts to Feel Like Survival. Chanie Wilschanski is a mom of four, a leadership advisor, speaker, and the founder of Schools of Excellence. She works with leaders who have built successful organizations, with all the right systems, yet somehow still find everything routing back to them. In our conversation, we explore why success can begin to feel unexpectedly heavy, why systems alone don’t solve overwhelm, how to create restorative energy instead of merely protecting it, and what all of this has to do with parenting, marriage, money, and leadership. Here’s Chanie Wilschanski. The post 470: When Success Starts to Feel Like Survival with Chanie Wilschanski appeared first on Yael Trusch.
