From Growing Up Poor to Managing Millions: The Untold Story of Naftali Horowitz
From Growing Up Poor to Managing Millions: The Untold Story of Naftali Horowitz
Nov 4, 2026
1:17:42
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.

A Rabbi Gets Surprisingly Honest About Money
A Rabbi Gets Surprisingly Honest About Money
Oct 27, 2026
1:06:14
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.

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.

Shoshana Lichtman grew up in a Conservadox Jewish home, but over time, she and her family drifted away from Judaism. Years later, Shoshana found her way back to Torah, becoming fully frum and embracing an Orthodox Jewish lifestyle. Then she discovered something shocking: She wasn't actually Jewish.

One of America’s premier Jewish scholars in Torah and Jewish mysticism, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak (YY) Jacobson is one of the most popular speakers in the Jewish world today, lecturing to Jewish and non-Jewish audiences around the globe, and serving as teacher and mentor to thousands.

At the conference he was hailed “The Jewish Billy Graham.” In this very special episode, Yaakov got to sit down with Rabbi YY, live, in White Shul in front of hundreds of people, including a live Q&A at the end.

The Redhead of Auschwitz
The Redhead of Auschwitz
Jun 6, 2022
41:41
Rosie Heilbrun was always told her red hair was a curse, but she never believed it. She often dreamed what it would look like under a white veil with the man of her dreams by her side. However, her life takes a harrowing turn in 1944 when she is forced out of her home and sent to the most gruesome of places: Auschwitz. Upon arrival, Rosie’s head is shaved and along with the loss of her beautiful hair, she loses the life she once cherished. Among the chaos and surrounded by hopelessness, Rosie realizes the only thing the Nazis cannot take away from her is the fierce redhead resilience in her spirit. When all of her friends conclude they are going to heaven from Auschwitz, she remains determined to get home. She summons all of her courage, through death camps and death marches to do just that. Her granddaughter, Nechama Birnbaum knew the world needed to know her grandmother's story. Her book "The Redhead of Auschwitz" is about the intricacies of Jewish culture that still exist today and the tender experiences that are universal to all humanity: family, coming of age, and first love. It is a story that celebrates believing in yourself no matter the odds. This is a story about the little redheaded girl who thought she could, and so she did. Unfortunately, shortly after this interview, Rosie passed away. It is with great sadness but also honor, that we have the opportunity to release an interview with her to help perpetuate her legacy.

Rabbi Zecharia Wallerstein: Our Father Figure
Rabbi Zecharia Wallerstein: Our Father Figure
May 21, 2022
1:51:56
Rabbi Zecharia Wallerstein ZTL was the founder of Ohr Yitzchak, Ateres Naava Seminary for Girls, and Ohr Naava Women's Institute in Brooklyn, NY. Ohr Naava is a unique program designed for women ages 17 through 120 who are interested in furthering their Torah experience. The program, which was under the leadership of Rabbi Wallerstein, started out as a Wednesday evening class in a small classroom known as a "Chabura." It brought together girls who had just returned from studying in Israel, college students who needed a weekly moment of inspiration, and most of all, Jews of different backgrounds with one common goal, to grow and change. The signature of Ohr Naava is to provide a multitude of programs, absolutely free of charge, for women wishing to make the time to grow, change and further their Torah knowledge. While Ohr Naava’s staff is ensuring that all programming remains in place, it was Rabbi Wallerstein who fundraised its multi-million dollar budget each year. His passing leaves us with the communal responsibility to ensure that Ohr Naava remains solvent, perpetuating the legacy of a man who saw the potential in each girl, treating everyone like a daughter.

David Tenenbaum: The FBI's Most Wanted Jew
David Tenenbaum: The FBI's Most Wanted Jew
Oct 18, 2025
1:31:49
David Tenenbaum was a proud Jewish engineer working for the U.S. Army when his life suddenly turned upside down. Without warning, FBI agents stormed his home, accused him of being an Israeli spy, and tore through his belongings looking for “evidence” that didn’t exist. For years he lived under suspicion, labeled a traitor for nothing more than his faith. He lost his reputation, his security, and nearly his sanity—but never his belief in truth. When the Pentagon finally admitted he’d been targeted because he was Jewish, David’s story became a chilling reminder of what happens when fear replaces justice—and how faith can outlast even the darkest lies.

Baruch Levine: Rebbi by Day, Legendary Singer by Night

As both the composer and singer of his signature V’zakeini song, Baruch Levine has been said to have literally raised the “bar” of Jewish music. His best-selling albums reflect his diversity of talents as a composer, arranger, and great singer. It is no wonder that it is said about him “Baruch has proven that Jewish Music today can still be meaningful, heartfelt, and yet refreshingly interesting.” Baruch was raised in Toronto, Canada where he composed his first published song at the young age of 13. He has released over 10 musical albums, and most recently 2 volumes of the “Off the Record” nostalgia series which was widely received with great acclaim. His audience spans the globe and Baruch has performed at world class venues in the UK, France, Israel, USA, Africa, and Canada. In January 2021 Baruch performed at the MetLife stadium in New Jersey where he graced a crowd of ninety thousand plus at the 13th Siyum Hashas. He currently resides in Waterbury Connecticut along with his family and is also a Rebbe at the Yeshiva K’tana of Waterbury.

Lipa Schmeltzer: My Journey Back Home
May 7, 2022

Lipa is one of the most talented artists in the Jewish world. His brilliant lyrics and unique style led him to a quick rise to fame. But Lipa was still figuring out who he was. Schmeltzer's music has both gained popularity due to the fusion of traditional Chasidic music and lyrics with contemporary music styles. His performance range includes "hard-driving rock tunes, jazzy shuffles, pseudo-rap numbers, solemn prayers, klezmer dances and jokey skits, accompanied by a nine-piece band and a troupe of actors". He writes lyrics in English, Hebrew, and Yiddish. Lipa has been going through a journey. After "leaving" his community and going to college, he has returned with a new look at life, his music and himself. Aside for being an incredible artist he is a deeply intelligent and honest person.

Dec 20, 2025
1:28:57
Rabbi Eli Riesel was a working professional who walked away from everything to return to kollel. What followed was not inspiration overnight, but a life turned completely upside down. He found himself buried under debt projected to last up to 85 years, facing legal pressure, personal collapse, and a future that seemed impossible to escape. As his situation spiraled, he encountered a challenge far greater than money or reputation. Against the unanimous advice of his lawyers, Rav Chaim Kanievsky gave him guidance that defied logic and conventional strategy. Rabbi Riesel faced an impossible choice. Would he listen to the gadol hador, or follow the system that promised safety? His decision led him through federal prison, deep spiritual reckoning, and a survival story few have ever heard. This is the untold backstory of emunah, mesirus nefesh, bitachon, and what it means to rebuild a life when everything is stripped away.

Shulem Lemmer: The First Hasidic Singer to get a Major Record Label Deal
Shulem Lemmer: The First Hasidic Singer to get a Major Record Label Deal
Oct 29, 2022
1:12:12
Shulem is the most recent rising star of the Jewish musical tradition that has been intertwined in the life, faith, and culture of the Jewish people throughout their history. Whether it's prayers, psalms, or contemporary classics, this youthful Brooklyn tenor finds in music something rich and affirming, an endeavor that makes the soul soar and the spirit rise and speaks to the human condition. In fact, Shulem feels music aspires to go beyond current historical context to illuminate what he sees as the perfect dream: when the world is at peace. There are some voices that have to be heard – and Shulem’s is one of them. We discuss coping with the loss of his sister, dealing with challenges, the recent rise in antisemitism, how Shulem, a hasidic man, got a deal with a massive record label and what steps to take to change the world. *SPONSOR LINK* Achas Sha’alti 3 is here!

Inspector Richie Taylor: The Highest Ranking Orthodox Jewish Cop
Inspector Richie Taylor: The Highest Ranking Orthodox Jewish Cop
May 20, 2023
1:03:56
Inspector Richie Taylor is the highest-ranking officer within the New York Police Department (NYPD) who proudly wears a yarmulke as part of his uniform. Standing at an impressive six-foot-three, his yarmulke adds to his already commanding presence. Despite visibly standing out as a frum Jew, Inspector Taylor confidently embraces his identity, feeling at ease among his colleagues. The NYPD, consisting of over 38,000 personnel, surpasses the combined size of the three largest police departments in the country. Among this vast force, only around 300 individuals hold the rank of captain. Achieving the rank of captain at the young age of 34, Richie Taylor's promotion is a testament to his exceptional capabilities and distinguished career. He stands as one of the youngest captains in the history of the NYPD. In this week's episode, we discuss how a frum Jew climbed the ranks, the power of Jewish pride and how a village builds a person. ✬ SPONSOR OF THIS EPISODE ✬ ▶ THE NATION'S FAVORITE STATUS "Sparks Of A Nation" gives you an inside glimpse at the most epic scenes from the Jewish Nation.

Rabbi & Rebbetzin Tzvi Kushlefsky: Becoming a Father at 88-Year's Old
Jun 29, 2024

Rabbi Tzvi Kushlefsky, a respected rosh yeshiva based in Jerusalem, joyfully welcomed his firstborn son into the world this March at the age of 88. Rabbi Kushlefsky experienced the sorrow of becoming a widower at 82, having never had children with his first wife. He remarried six years later to Mrs. Rochel Daniella, an American woman aged 50 at the time, already a mother to several children. At 88, Rabbi Kushlefsky and his Rebbetzin, now 57, celebrated the birth of their first son together. The joyous event occurred at Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, where the baby was born healthy, without any complications, thank God. The streets of Jerusalem near his yeshivas were alive with dancing as the community shared in his happiness. In this episode, I traveled to Lakewood to meet them and to ask them about their faith and trust in Hashem. Oh and to also meet the very adorable Eliyahu (their son).

Lucas Gage: The Internet's Most Notorious Antisemite Walks into... Lakewood
Lucas Gage: The Internet's Most Notorious Antisemite Walks into... Lakewood
Jun 13, 2026
1:49:26
The topics discussed in this episode include antisemitism, extremism, hate movements, and personal transformation. Viewer discretion is advised. How does someone go from becoming one of the internet's most notorious antisemites to sitting down in Lakewood for a respectful conversation with Orthodox Jews? In this fascinating and often uncomfortable conversation, Lucas Gage joins Yaakov Langer and Jake Turx to share the story behind his dramatic transformation. After spending more than a decade immersed in online extremism, conspiracy theories, and antisemitic rhetoric, Lucas explains what caused him to question everything he believed and begin a journey few people thought was possible. From radicalization and internet culture to accountability, personal growth, faith, and teshuva, Lucas opens up about the decisions, experiences, and conversations that changed the course of his life. He discusses the dangers of echo chambers, the power of honest dialogue, and why changing your mind can be one of the hardest things a person ever does. What causes someone to embrace hatred in the first place? Can people truly change? How do you rebuild trust after years of promoting harmful ideas? And what happens when the people who once supported you become your biggest critics? Whether you agree with Lucas or not, this conversation explores redemption, self-reflection, personal responsibility, and the courage it takes to confront uncomfortable truths. It is an honest discussion about antisemitism, extremism, identity, forgiveness, dialogue, and the possibility of change.

A Jewish Divorce Mediator Shares What She Sees Behind Closed Doors
A Jewish Divorce Mediator Shares What She Sees Behind Closed Doors
Dec 24, 2025
1:24:14
We explore one of the most sensitive and least discussed topics in Jewish life: money and marriage. • Why do so many couples avoid talking about money? • What do fights about money really represent? • How can couples build financial trust and literacy before and during marriage? • What role should community education play in preparing young people for real-world financial responsibility? 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. 👉 ✬ SPONSORS OF EPISODE 105 ✬ ► TWILLORY – Premium menswear that looks sharp and feels even better.

Years later, that same heartbreak became the catalyst for her spiritual awakening. Now a 7th-degree black belt, Emunah life coach, and founder of the Hitbodedut Spiritual Boot Camp, Sunny channels that early pain into purpose - teaching others how to find strength, peace, and clarity through personal prayer, faith, and self-discipline.

Beri Weber: The Singer And Rosh HaYeshiva
Jun 18, 2022
1:39:50
Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Beri a new-age Chasidic singer, composer, entertainer AND Rosh HaYeshiva (Yes, you read that right). He is a renowned “vocal powerhouse” and gained popularity soon after he began releasing his albums in 2007. However, the debut of his celebrated “Thank You Hashem” gripped the attention of Jewish music fans worldwide. Beri’s music emanates fresh energy in soulful, creative singing. His unique style, inspired by mystical Chassidus, aims to motivate and elevate fans around the globe. Beri began his singing career at age nine. He sang alongside popular musical artists including MBD, Moshe Goldman, and Mendy Werdyger and later joined the Shira Choir. Beri names Shlomo Carlebach and MBD as his major musical influences and was immersed in their music throughout his childhood. Beri draws his musical inspiration from the teachings of R’ Nachman of Breslev and enjoys exploring the Rebbe’s views on the spirituality of music with Reb Lazer Brody, Reb Motta Frank and Reb Itche Mier Morgenstern of Jerusalem. A few years ago, Beri opened a yeshiva for boys who have been mistreated or misunderstood. In this episode, Beri explores where he finds the soul in his songs, where he turns for inspiration and how he balances being a rebbi and a world-famous singer.

R' Elimelech Friedman: A Hasidic Marriage Counselor Opens Up
May 30, 2026
1:02:24
The topics discussed in this episode are intended for a mature audience and may not be suitable for younger viewers. What makes a marriage thrive and what causes it to slowly fall apart? In this raw and honest conversation, Rabbi Elimelech Friedman shares what he's learned from counseling hundreds of Chassidish and Jewish couples over decades. Drawing from years of marriage counseling and relationship guidance, he discusses the challenges couples face in building trust, maintaining emotional connection, and creating lasting love. From communication struggles and recurring conflict to intimacy, infidelity, and marriage repair, Rabbi Friedman reveals the hidden patterns he sees again and again. He explains why some relationships grow stronger through adversity while others drift apart, and how healthy marriages are built through understanding, validation, and consistent effort. Why do good people cheat? What does real intimacy actually mean? How can couples rebuild trust after betrayal or years of emotional distance? And what daily habits strengthen a marriage long before a crisis appears? Whether you're dating, engaged, newly married, or celebrating decades together, this conversation offers practical marriage advice, relationship wisdom, and powerful insights into communication, conflict resolution, personal growth, and building a healthier, more meaningful marriage. It's an honest discussion about Jewish marriage, Chassidish marriage, emotional intimacy, trust, love, and the work required to create a strong relationship that lasts.

He grew up in a frum home. But after his parents' divorce - things started going downhill. Yosef found himself abusing substances, drinking, and even robbery.

R' Doron Birnbaum: How Did Jewish Kids Start Believing This?
Jun 27, 2026

As antisemitism continues to rise around the world, many parents are asking how to help their children navigate an increasingly complex reality. In this conversation, Rabbi Doron Birnbaum shares personal experiences, practical parenting advice, and insights from years of working with students and families. He explores how social media algorithms shape young minds, why open conversations matter, and how parents can respond with compassion instead of fear. The discussion also examines the challenges facing Jewish communities, the importance of modeling pride in one's identity, and why education is essential in combating misinformation. Rather than leaving viewers discouraged, the episode offers a hopeful message of resilience, faith, and responsibility, encouraging families to remain confident in their values and to be a source of light even during difficult times. ✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬ ► Colel Chabad: Help Families in Israel For more than 230 years, Colel Chabad has helped families facing financial hardship put food on the table with dignity and care.

Batyah Furz: How a Filipino Cleaning Lady Became An Orthodox Jewish Princess
Batyah Furz: How a Filipino Cleaning Lady Became An Orthodox Jewish Princess
Jan 24, 2026
1:22:43
Batyah had everything in her life, a close family, a successful career, and a deep connection to Christianity. Then one day, her pastor stood before the congregation and admitted that everything he had been preaching was false. In that moment, her entire world collapsed. But even in the confusion, she felt certain that God was real. She just needed to find the truth. Her search led her to explore Judaism. It meant walking away from her career and leaving her family behind as she traveled from the Philippines to Israel. She took on a cleaning job, a role that was humbling and incredibly difficult, but she accepted it with a simple thought: if this is what Hashem wants from me right now, I’ll do it. From there, her path only grew stronger. She converted to Orthodox Judaism, married an Israeli man who grew up in a very charedi neighborhood, and today she is a proud Jewish influencer living in the United States. Her journey is raw, brave, and full of faith.

How does a Christian missionary, fully devoted to spreading his faith across the world, end up becoming an Orthodox Jewish rabbi?Meet Rabbi Gershom Baraza, who grew up in Spain and went all in on his mission, even learning Chinese to teach Christianity. But along the way, something didn’t sit right. What began as small questions turned into a relentless search for truth, forcing him to reevaluate everything he believed.

The Hidden Pressure Your Kids Feel About Money
The Hidden Pressure Your Kids Feel About Money
Mar 10, 2026
1:43:21
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' Yitzchok Aharon Pinkesz: Kosher Astrology Is Real & It Will Change How You See Hashem
R' Yitzchok Aharon Pinkesz: Kosher Astrology Is Real & It Will Change How You See Hashem
Nov 22, 2025
1:22:12
I used to think astrology was nonsense - until I met Rabbi Yitzchok Aharon Pinkesz. Rabbi Pinkesz reveals how Judaism and the Torah have always contained a hidden wisdom about the stars - what he calls “Kosher Astrology.” He explains how your birth chart reflects your divine mission, why timing in life is never random, and how God uses celestial cycles to guide human destiny. This isn’t superstition - it’s a deep exploration of how the universe, faith, and free will are intertwined in ways most of us never imagined. We even discuss what Kosher Astrology says about Trump.

Judge Rachel Freier, founder of Ezras Nashim, wears many hats on top of paramedic — not least of which is US Civil Court Judge. Elected as Judge in 2016, it was a step up from her career in law, where she was licensed to practice in New York, New Jersey and Washington DC. As a wife, mother, grandmother and longtime community activist, Ruchie — as she is better known — made history as the first Chassidic woman elected to public office, earning an honor from her alma maters, Touro College and Brooklyn Law School. In this episode, Judge Ruchie talks to Yaakov about the hurdles she has faced along her journey, her experiences on TV and a big announcement on an exciting next chapter of her life. * SPONSOR LINKS * Check out Good Faith Effort!

Nosson and Esther Muhr were raised in chaos - abuse, suicide, addiction, psychosis, rejection - and still refused to let trauma decide who they would become. Their path to Judaism stretched over years of setbacks, hospitalizations, lost jobs, and a conversion process that nearly fell apart. They kept going anyway, and today they’re building a simple, committed Jewish life they fought hard to earn. This is a raw story of giyures, emunah, mental health, teshuva, and finding purpose inside authentic Torah life.

Howie Danao grew up in an affluent Tel Aviv home as the adopted son of a secular Israeli family, alongside his Filipino mother who worked as a caretaker. A gifted singer fluent in Hebrew, he rose to the semi-finals of a major Israeli reality competition and later served in the IDF even before he gained citizenship. A transformative Jewish-identity program pushed him to confront his past and his purpose, sending him on a spiritual journey that led to conversion, religious life, and using his music to share his story of faith, belonging, and love for Israel.

R' Reuven Feinstein: An Unscripted Conversation About The Jewish People & What We Are Up Against Today
Jan 3, 2026
1:12:44
Rabbi Reuven Feinstein, Rosh Yeshiva of Staten Island and one of the Gedolei Hador, looks back on his childhood growing up in the Bronx, just blocks from Yankee Stadium - where he was beaten for wearing a yarmulke and learned early what it meant to live with emunah and dignity. In this raw and moving conversation, he shares memories of his father, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, the Gadol Hador, describing a home with no ga’avah, no pretense - just Torah, humility, and love. He speaks about antisemitism in 1940s America, the lessons of parenting, leadership, and humility, and how his father’s approach to Torah learning and chesed shaped generations. From stories of the Shabbos table, to his views on mental health, modern challenges, and faith under pressure, this interview is a living portrait of Torah greatness, Jewish resilience, and quiet strength in a world that often forgets both.
