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!

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. Thank you to Avi Feinstein for making it happen.👉 ✬ SPONSORS OF EPISODE 109 ✬ ► NQGRG – Halachic estate planning made simple. Protect your family, legally and according to Torah law.

This episode addresses the reaction that followed Nissim Black becoming Jewish.

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' 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.

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.

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.

Sunny Levi: The Champion Black Belt Who Found Hashem From the Fight

Oct 25, 2025

48:35

When Sunny Levi was a little girl, she prayed every day for her disabled brother to be healed - prayers that went "unanswered" and left her questioning God, faith, and the meaning of prayer itself. 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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' 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.

Baruch Levine: Rebbi by Day, Legendary Singer by Night

Aug 19, 2023

1:15:07

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.

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?

Rabbi Leo Dee: Unbreakable Strength after Unspeakable Terror

Jun 3, 2023

1:17:59

On April 7th, 2023, Rabbi Leo Dee's wife, Lucy, and two daughters, Maia and Rina, were murdered by Palestinian terrorists in the West Bank. The family was on their way back from a hiking trip in the area when they were ambushed by the terrorists. Maia and Rina were killed at the scene, and Lucy died three days later from her wounds. The murders of Rabbi Dee's family were a horrific tragedy. Rabbi Dee has spoken out about the importance of forgiveness and peace in the wake of the murders. He has also founded a foundation in his family's name to promote peace and understanding between Israelis and Palestinians. The murders of Rabbi Dee's family were a senseless act of violence. They have left a deep hole in the lives of Rabbi Dee and his family, and they have also had a profound impact on the world.

Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau: My Impossible Journey From Buchenwald to Chief Rabbi of Israel

Dec 16, 2023

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. After immigrating to Israel in 1945, Rabbi Lau dedicated himself to religious studies and rabbinical leadership. 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.

Rabbi Dov Ber Cohen: Why I Gave Up Buddhism for Judaism

Feb 24, 2024

1:16:35

Rabbi Dov Ber Cohen spent six years living in Asia, immersing himself in local culture and delving deeply into Eastern philosophies From orphanages in Sri Lanka to silent meditation in Thailand; from fasting in India to temples in the Himalayas; from extreme martial arts in Korea, China, and Japan.

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.
