Job Market and Employment Opportunities

In our 101st episode of Kosher Money, we take you out of town to Columbus, Ohio, one of America’s most surprising, affordable, and fast-growing Jewish communities.

If you’ve ever wondered what out-of-town Jewish life really looks like, this episode will open your eyes.

Rabbi Avi Goldstein and Meir Perlmutter share how Columbus became a thriving hub of Orthodox life, complete with kosher restaurants, strong schools, affordable homes, and a deep sense of connection.

We explore:

🏡 Why housing in Columbus costs a fraction of what it does in Lakewood or the Five Towns

💰 How families are saving tens of thousands of dollars in tuition in Ohio

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 What it means to raise kids in a community where everyone knows your name

🌟 How two passionate community builders helped turn a small Midwest city into a center of Jewish growth

Columbus appears to offer a calmer, more intentional Jewish lifestyle with less financial pressure and more opportunities to start something big.

If you’ve ever said, “I could never leave the tri-state,” this episode might make you think again.
