Living Lchaim
Money plays a central role in the life of an Orthodox Jew, not just practically but spiritually. From the costs of Jewish education and kosher living to the deeper meaning of earning and spending in alignment with Torah values, financial challenges are as spiritual as they are practical.
Kosher Money, an original Living Lchaim podcast, dives into the intersection of Judaism and finance. Host Eli Langer, former CNBC Social Media Producer and CEO of Harvesting Media, leads thought-provoking conversations with experts on how to navigate money matters with wisdom and faith.
