Why Jewish Life Feels So Expensive These Days

Mar 25, 2026

1:36:13

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!

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.

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.

R' Eli Riesel Returns: The Untold Miracle That Freed Me From Jail

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.

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.

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.

Rav Reuven Feinstein: Why Working Harder Won't Make You Rich (According to the Torah)

Feb 19, 2026

1:24:22

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.

Jun 29, 2024

39:50

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).

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.

R' Ken Spiro: The Best Jewish Response to Christian Hate

Feb 14, 2026

1:04:19

Join Rabbi Ken Spiro for a bold, deeply researched conversation on one of the most debated questions in religious history. Why has Judaism never accepted Christianity? Was “Yushka” (Jesus of Nazareth) truly one historical figure, and what do the earliest historical sources actually say about him? Where do core Jewish beliefs fundamentally diverge from Christian theology? And what does the Torah really teach about the identity and role of the Moshiach?In this powerful and eye-opening talk, Rabbi Spiro breaks down the historical record, examines primary sources, addresses widespread misconceptions, and explores the theological foundations that separate Judaism from other faith traditions. From a traditional Jewish perspective, he explains why Jesus does not meet the criteria of the Moshiach and clarifies what Judaism truly expects from the future redeemer. If you care about truth, history, faith, and Jewish identity, this is a discussion you won’t want to miss. → More From Rabbi Spiro: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rabbikenspiro Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Ssh0Z1PBeMkZ8QZdmMmuo Books: https://kenspiro.com/ ✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► The Dream Raffle: Win a $1.2 Million Apartment in JerusalemHelp beautiful causes and also walk away with keys to a gorgeous - fully furnished - apartment in Jerusalem (if you win!)Use PROMO code: INSPIRE for $10 OFF + DOUBLE Tickets→ http://bit.ly/4nUg7gV► Real Deal Accounting: Save Money & Make MoneyReal Deal is offering FREE tax strategy session for a limited time!

The Hidden Pressure Your Kids Feel About Money

Mar 18, 2026

1:43:51

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.

Sara Braun: Embracing My Identity - A Black Jew's Story of Becoming Hasidic

May 13, 2023

1:18:49

Sara grew up in a small village in the Netherlands where her dark skin made her different from the people around her. Her family practiced Hasidic Judaism, but because her mother was darker than the rest of the family, she faced discrimination and didn't practice the religion. Sara always felt a strong desire to connect with her Jewish roots. After a trip to New York City, Sara decided to move there to pursue her dream of intertwining her body, soul, and mind with Judaism. She arrived with only $400 and a determination to create the life she wanted. Sara's story is an example of how we can take control of our lives and pursue our dreams, despite the obstacles we may face. We had an inspiring conversation about resilience and passion that hopefully encourages you to become your true self and pursue your dreams relentlessly.

Iris (& Tuval) Haim: Forgiving The Soldier Who Accidentally Killed My Hostage Son

Mar 7, 2026

1:21:19

On October 7th, Iris Chaim’s son Yotam Chaim was taken hostage by Hamas. For weeks, she held onto hope that he was alive. In an unbelievable turn of events, Yotam escaped captivity - only to be tragically killed by the IDF after being mistaken for a terrorist. In this deeply emotional conversation, Iris and her son Tuval Chaim share how their family faced unimaginable loss and chose a path of faith, resilience, and forgiveness instead of anger. Iris & Tuval opens up about his own struggle with grief, the anger he felt after his brother’s death, and how he ultimately channeled that pain into music, healing, and purpose - continuing Yotam’s legacy. Together, they tell a powerful story about October 7th, hostages, trauma, hope, and the strength of the Jewish spirit - and how one family turned tragedy into a mission to bring unity, healing, and light to the world.

Jan 31, 2026

1:17:26

Danielle is a wife, a mother and absolute food lover. She grew up in New York and moved to Jerusalem, Israel 15 years ago and has been trying to get life under control here ever since. That meant figuring out how to run basic errands, do the food shopping, and cooking in a place that does not translate everything into English (Its as if they don’t realize that New York is the center of the world)! So she did what she does best and started making lists. She made lists of everything (ingredients, cooking terms, conversion charts, supermarkets). Besides the regular mothering, wife-ing, food blogging and recipe developing, she also does restaurant and menu consulting and gives cooking demos. In this episode, Yaakov & Gitta sit down with PLC to discuss the proper way to consume media, juggle family life and how Danielle keeps on cooking up awesome content (and food).

Nov 4, 2023

52:28

Rabbi Shai Graucher was known as one of the closest people to Rav Chaim Kanievsky ZTL. His father, Dedi AH, legendary Jewish singer, past away only 7 weeks ago and it left a hole in Shai's heart. He decided to create an organization where he can continue to spread his father's light. After October 7th, Shai kicked everything into high gear. He is by far one of the most impactful people fighting the war by being the backbone and support for thousands of Israeli citizens & soldiers. You would not believe how much B’yachad Nenatzeiach is doing (you probably have seen the whatsapp videos). Personal visits and financial support for the families of victims. Hospital visits to wounded soldiers and citizens. Packages of essentials and toys to displaced families. Tefillin and other religious articles to soldiers and families. Visits to army bases, providing soldiers with provisions, tailored to their specific needs (clothing and gear in their size, etc.). His team even built a laundry machine, portable jacuzzis and more to help. You will literally change your brothers & sisters lives when you donate. ► Help here: https://bit.ly/weloveshai You can buy Shai & Rav Chaim Kanievsky's seforim & books: ► https://bit.ly/3MtVgRv Shai is being recorded in an awesome studio.

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.

Meilech Kohn: From Homelessness Back To Hasidic Judaism

Jun 10, 2023

1:16:04

Meilech Kohn, originally named Elimeilech Kohn, grew up in a Satmar family residing in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. He is the first cousin of renowned singer Lipa Schmeltzer. Although he initially distanced himself from the Hasidic community of his upbringing, he later returned to it during his adult years. This personal journey is reflected in his music, which encompasses a diverse range of influences such as Techno music, Mediterranean pop, hints of trip-hop, and the melodic tapestry woven from a life enriched by travel, attentive listening, and emotional vulnerability. In 2016, he achieved unexpected success with his popular song "VeUhavata," propelling him from relative obscurity to fame. Meilech has been homeless, divorced, and running away from his community for many years and his story of teshuva is one of a kind. ✬ SPONSOR OF THIS EPISODE ✬ ► TWILLORY: Get $18 off your first purchase of absolutely comfortable clothing for today's casual professional look.

Singles Speak Out: Dating, Shadchanim & The System

Mar 1, 2025

1:56:43

Dating in the Jewish world is anything but simple. We sit down with Dovi Neuburger (from Teaneck) & Eli Geller (from Lakewood), for the guys part. Then we (Gitta, my wife joined me) sit down with Nechami Tenenbaum (from Detroit) & Rachel Pekarsky (from Elizabeth, NJ). These four singles have very different experiences and opinions on navigating the shidduch system, dating pressures, and the so-called "shidduch crisis." We delve into: - The unspoken rules of matchmaking - How expectations vs. reality can break people - The stigma of being single in the community - Are matchmakers helping or hurting the process? - The brutal truth about dating apps vs. traditional setups More from Dovi here: His IG: https://www.instagram.com/dovineuburger/?

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.

Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, born on June 1, 1937, in Piotrków Trybunalski, Poland, is a prominent Jewish religious leader and Holocaust survivor. At a young age, he survived the Buchenwald concentration camp, an experience that profoundly influenced his life and work.

He was appointed as the Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv in 1985, a position he held with distinction. In 1993, Rabbi Lau reached a pinnacle of religious leadership by becoming the Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel, a role he served until 2003. His tenure was marked by efforts to bridge gaps between secular and religious communities in Israel and to promote Jewish unity. Rabbi Lau's legacy is one of resilience, spiritual leadership, and commitment to the Jewish people and their heritage.

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.

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.

Nosson and Esther Muhr were raised in chaos - abuse, suicide, addiction, psychosis, rejection - and still refused to let trauma decide who they would become.

They kept going anyway, and today they’re building a simple, committed Jewish life they fought hard to earn.

Rivka Ravitz: Why The Pope & President Biden Bowed to This Frum Mother

May 27, 2023

1:22:17

Rivka is an Israeli Haredi political administrator. Since 1999, she has worked for Israeli politician Reuven Rivlin, first as his bureau chief and campaign adviser, and, since his election as President of Israel in 2014, as his chief of staff. She has received extensive media coverage for being a frum mother of 12 in a high-profile political position. Ravitz considers her high-profile position an opportunity to display her religious commitment and make a Kiddush Hashem (sanctification of God's name). She wears modest clothing, and covers her hair with a wig. She does not fraternize with male colleagues or participate in "staff-consolidation days", and refrains from shaking hands when greeting men, in keeping with halacha. During Rivlin's 2015 visit to the Vatican, a photograph showing Pope Francis bowing to Ravitz. Despite it being a high profile visit, the Pope had bowed to her in respect of her religious resilience. During Rivlin's visit to the United States towards the end of his term, President Biden kneeled before Ravitz upon hearing that she is a mother of 12 children. She has incredible stories with Putin, Wonder Woman and other high profile kings, queens and leaders of the world.

His audience spans the globe and Baruch has performed at world class venues in the UK, France, Israel, USA, Africa, and Canada.

How to Invest Wisely in 2026

Dec 10, 2025

1:17:49

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?

Mendy Levy: Escaping The Extremist Lev Tahor Cult & Finding Hashem

Jul 8, 2023

45:39

Mendy Levy was born in 2003 in Canada to parents who were members of Lev Tahor, an extremist Jewish cult founded in the 1980s. Shunned by members of other Jewish groups and facing a kidnapping scandal, its leader Shlomo Helbrans had moved Lev Tahor to Canada in the 1990s. Helbrans then moved the group to Guatemala in 2014, in the wake of child abuse investigations in Quebec. Levy escaped the group in 2018 and now splits his time between Canada and New York. Shlomo Helbrans drowned in Guatemala in 2017. US authorities arrested his son, Nachman Helbrans, and other Lev Tahor leaders in late 2018 and 2021. They're currently on trial in federal court in New York on kidnapping and fraud charges, to which they've pleaded not guilty. The remainder of Lev Tahor, which numbers an estimated 300 people, continues to live in Guatemala and has been unsuccessfully trying to move to Iran.
