Kosher Money

By: Living Lchaim
  • Summary

  • Living the life of an Orthodox Jew in the 21st Century often necessitates a very significant income. Unfortunately, many are struggling to keep up.


    The Problem Is Bigger Than We Realize

    The cost of life for an Orthodox family with children can range from $150,000 to $350,000 or more, depending on city and schools of choice, lifestyle choices and number of children.


    The median income in America is $68,000 per family.


    This means that a family would potentially need to be in the top 5% of all income earners in the United States simply to get by!


    The Solution

    Solving this challenge begins with an open dialogue to create awareness and education and allowing for impactful feedback and interaction.


    Kosher Money aims to be a pivotal piece in creating this much-needed conversation.


    Eli Langer was the former CNBC Social Media Producer and is currently the CEO of Harvesting Media. Each week, Eli sits down with experts to discuss various topics.


    This is an original podcast by Living Lchaim and its partnered-sponsor is Living Smarter Jewish.

  • The Money Conversations Happening Behind Jews' Closed Doors (with Dr. Debra Alper)
    Apr 16 2024

    How can the Jewish community live with wealth without the addiction of consumption jeopardizing our mental health?


    Meet Dr. Debra Alper who wrote a fantastic article on the topic here: https://18forty.org/articles/affluence-money-mental-health/


    We had an enlightening conversation with Dr. Alper, a seasoned clinical psychologist, who dives deep into the complex relationship between financial stress and mental health.


    She sheds light on how societal pressures and personal financial management can significantly impact our psychological well-being. She offers practical advice for families on educating young adults about finances without instilling fear.


    She explores the concept of self-worth beyond financial success, providing valuable insights into living a more fulfilled and balanced life.


    Whether you're dealing with financial anxiety or looking to understand the broader societal impacts of wealth, this discussion is a must-watch!

Wealth of knowledge

As a disclaimer, I'm not Jewish or even religious. Regardless I have gained a ton of knowledge and learned about a culture I haven't really been exposed to. I would recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about money and how money is involved and affects so many accepts of life. From helping those around you, to helping yourself in managing and building your wealth both spiritual and financial.
