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.

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.

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.

Rebetzin Sara Rigler: She Was a Hindu Nun for 15 Years Until a Rav Asked Her Real Name

Rebbetzin Sara Yocheved Rigler spent 15 years living in an ashram. She meditated three times a day, taught Vedanta & Hindu philosophy, and served as personal secretary to the guru. She went east searching for G-d. Then one conversation with an Orthodox rabbi turned her whole world upside down. 8 months later, she was studying Torah in Jerusalem. Today she is one of the most widely read Jewish authors alive and a world class Torah teacher. We spoke about those 15 years in the ashram, a life altering (and reincarnation) experience around her fear of having children, and what she found in Judaism that 15 years of Eastern spirituality never gave her. ► BF Design: Building Our Communities BF Design has spent 20 years building Lakewood's shuls, schools, and homes, and they're now doing the same in growing communities across the country.

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 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.

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.

R' Elimelech Friedman: A Hasidic Marriage Counselor Opens Up

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.

Yosef Waslow: How Alcohol Addiction Ultimately Led Me to Becoming a Chassid
Yosef Waslow: How Alcohol Addiction Ultimately Led Me to Becoming a Chassid
Jul 11, 2026
1:41:55
Today, Yosef Waslow is a Chassidish husband and father, but his story is far deeper than becoming frum. Raised by a white Jewish mother and a black Baptist father, Yosef battled with alcoholism, fitting in, searching for identity, and eventually found his way to Torah and family. Yet this conversation isn't really about addiction, race, or even becoming a baal teshuva.✬ SPONSORS OF THE EPISODE ✬► Colel Chabad: Help Families in IsraelMake daily tzedakah part of your routine with the Colel Chabad Pushka App.Yaakov here.

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.

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.

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. He ended up in a juvenile detention center (prison for teens), a place he had to literally fight for his life. But while in prison, that's the exact place where he found Hashem at rock bottom.

When I first heard about Rebbetzin Libbi Kakon, I thought the story would be about a remarkable couple who, despite both being deaf, built a yeshiva for deaf and hearing-impaired students. Then I heard the rest of the story. What I discovered was a woman who refused to let life's challenges define her. Together with her husband, Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Kakon, she helped build a unique yeshiva serving deaf students, raised a family, navigated extraordinary challenges, and continued finding ways to help others.

Adam Fox is a Tucson, Arizona native and he has worked with Hillel (U of Arizona, Colorado State) and Chabad at NAU in Flagstaff, deeply shaping Jewish life on campus and fighting antisemitism. Since early 2025, he has battled a rare, life-threatening volvulus (twisted intestines), undergoing multiple emergency surgeries (at least four in 2026), infections, complications, and major lifestyle changes. His illness has strengthened his Jewish journey - crediting Chabad for his growth, proudly observing mitzvos, and remaining committed to Torah, Jewish unity, and Am Yisrael Chai even from his hospital bed.

Elana Silber & Shlomo Mirsky: The Cancer Fight
Elana Silber & Shlomo Mirsky: The Cancer Fight
Oct 15, 2022
58:05
Sharsheret, a national non-profit organization, improves the lives of Jewish women and families living with or at increased genetic risk for breast or ovarian cancer through personalized support and saves lives through educational outreach. Sharsheret was founded in November 2001, four months after Rochelle Shoretz, a 28 year old young Jewish mother, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Immersed within a close-knit Jewish community in northern New Jersey, Rochelle had many offers to help with meals and to transport her sons to after-school programs. What she really wanted, though, was to speak to another young mom who was going to have to explain to her children that she was going to lose her hair to chemotherapy, and what it would be like to prepare for the High Holidays knowing she was facing a life-threatening illness. Though her grandmother had died of the disease, cancer was a taboo subject still not discussed within her family and, she soon recognized, within the Jewish community at large. In this episode, Yaakov speaks to Shlomo, Rochelle's eldest son, about his experiences and challenges with the cancer battle his mom fought. Elana Silber, a close friend of Rochelle & CEO of Sharsheret, joins in to help explain the origin story to the org and how they impacted so many people during the most fifilt time of their lives.

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).

He's Warning Jews About Fake Segulos (and Revealing Which Really Work)
He's Warning Jews About Fake Segulos (and Revealing Which Really Work)
Jan 21, 2026
1:45:03
This episode of Kosher Money is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. For the first time ever, our guest, Reb Binyomin Gringras, speaks publicly about the inner secrets he’s uncovered after years of scouring hundreds of little-known seforim and speaking with thousands of Torah giants and hidden tzaddikim. Reb Binyomin dives deep into the mysterious world of segulos — ancient Jewish customs believed to bring blessing and success. He shares which ones are real and which are made up. We cover segulos for wealth, children, health, lost items, and much more — plus the power of visiting a tzaddik’s kever and what to daven for there. He also reveals the story of a 19th-century tzaddik who died young but left behind a spiritual masterpiece — a book now being rediscovered that shares practical life advice with profound insights. By the end, you’ll hear stories that will leave your jaw on the floor.

R' Doron Birnbaum: How Did Jewish Kids Start Believing This?

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.

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).

Judge Ruchie Freier: The Hasidic Superwoman of Night Court
Judge Ruchie Freier: The Hasidic Superwoman of Night Court
Jul 16, 2022
1:11:45
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!

The Incredible Rebbi Who Has Saved Jews Millions of Dollars
The Incredible Rebbi Who Has Saved Jews Millions of Dollars

What does it really mean to be a rebbi today? In this conversation, Reb Mutty Zeiger gives a real look into his day-to-day life. From teaching in the classroom to late-night calls, bar mitzvahs, and helping students through personal challenges, you start to see how much the role really involves. We also get into money. Reb Mutty talks about how regular families end up stuck in credit card debt, and how his gemach has lent out millions of dollars to help people get back on their feet. He shares simple, practical ideas about spending, discipline, and staying in control. Along the way, we talk about what kids should be learning early on, what parents often don’t realize about their child’s rebbi, and how much a small thank-you can mean. He also speaks openly about his own experience with anxiety, what it feels like, and why more people should be comfortable talking about it. He's an awesome, awesome man. Loved every second with him.

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

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.

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.

In the summer of 2019, Yossi Hecht’s life was drastically changed. The doctors found a tumor in his spine and he needed a number of surgeries to remove it. One of the repercussions from such invasive surgeries, is that the ability to go to the bathroom can oftentimes be affected. With advice of his Rabbeim, he embarked on a campaign for individuals to have more concentration on the bracha of Asher Yatzar. He saw personal wonders and has therefore made it his mission to try to inspire others to be more thankful. Thus, using the blessing as a conduit to appreciate all of the good bestowed upon us. For more information about Yossi’s organization please visit: www.ashertotheyatzar.org * SPONSOR LINK * Jewish tradition teaches that in every generation there are 36 people upon whose kindness and righteousness the very existence of the world depends, but whose identity no one knows - not even the 36 themselves.

Sara Braun: Embracing My Identity - A Black Jew's Story of Becoming Hasidic
May 13, 2023

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.

Rabbi Tovia Singer: Outsmarting Christians at Their Own Game
Rabbi Tovia Singer: Outsmarting Christians at Their Own Game
Jul 29, 2023
1:11:59
Rabbi Tovia Singer is the founder and director of Outreach Judaism, a Jewish counter-missionary organization. It's an international organization that responds directly to the issues raised by missionaries and cults, by exploring Judaism in contradistinction to fundamentalist Christianity. Singer cautions regarding congregations that "are designed to appear Jewish, but are actually fundamentalist Christian churches, which use traditional Jewish symbols to lure the most vulnerable of our Jewish people into their ranks." Outreach Judaism was described by J. Gordon Melton in 2002 as an example of "the current state of Jewish counter-cult activity." In this episode, Rabbi Singer explores where his passion comes from, why Jews for Jesus's mission is counterproductive and how the old testament is the truth.

R' Yitzi, known for being the life of the party, and his family were shluchim in California, leading a relatively normal life until Yitzi was diagnosed with ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) in 2013. Despite the debilitating nature of the disease, Yitzi continued to compose music and divrei torah with the help of a special computer program. His wife Dina has been an incredible support throughout his illness, and has also shared their story with others in the hope of inspiring and providing comfort to those facing similar struggles. Yitzi's diagnosis was devastating, but he and Dina refused to let it defeat them. They have used their experiences to help others, and have been featured in various media outlets for their inspirational message of faith and resilience. While Yitzi's condition is challenging, their love for each other and their strong sense of community have helped them to face whatever comes their way. They currently live in Los Angelis, California, have 7 children and one adorable grandbaby. • Help support the Hurwitz family here: https://hurwitzfamilyfund.com/ • Read R' Yitzi's Torah here: http://yitzihurwitz.blogspot.com/ • Wear tefillin for R' Yitzi: https://tefillinforyitzi.com/ ✬ SPONSOR OF THIS EPISODE ✬ ▶ Join The SIMCHATIME Revolution Do an act of kindness every day.

Seminary: Can We Afford to Go? Can We Afford Not to Go? (with Rabbi Zecharya Greenwald & Ahuvah Heyman)
Jan 5, 2023

Each year, thousands of Orthodox Jewish girls go to seminary, an educational institution often located far from home, in the United States and abroad, particularly in Israel. The costs associated with this decision can be significant, and in many instances, girls and their families may prepare for years to afford it or, unfortunately, fall into debt as a result, depending on their financial situation and outlook. We spoke with Rabbi Zecharya Greenwald, owner and principal of Meohr Bais Yaakov, an Israel-based seminary, and Mrs. Ahuva Heyman, a director of Bnos Yisroel of Baltimore, a large girls' school, to learn about the costs of seminary and so much more. ► SPONSORS OF THIS EPISODE: ✬ Infinity Land Services: When your real estate transaction is protected through Infinity, you get meticulous coverage, clear communication, and zero drama—title after title after title.

R' Ken Spiro: The Best Jewish Response to Christian Hate
R' Ken Spiro: The Best Jewish Response to Christian Hate
Feb 14, 2026
1:03:50
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!

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

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.

Meilech Kohn: From Homelessness Back To Hasidic Judaism
Meilech Kohn: From Homelessness Back To Hasidic Judaism
Jun 10, 2023

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.
