Does God Want You to Be Rich? A Biblical View from Rabbi Dr. Ari Lamm
Wednesday, December 25, 2024 • Duration 01:08:12
Does God want you to be rich? Rabbi Dr. Ari Lamm takes this provocative question head-on, unraveling the Torah’s surprising insights on wealth.
Hear why Abraham might be the original entrepreneur. Discover how true generational wealth isn’t just about money but about passing down unshakable values. Could the Garden of Eden hold the secret to why leaving paradise was the first step toward building an enduring legacy?
Rabbi Lamm, a brilliant Torah scholar, warns of the soul’s rot when we idolize wealth and forget its true purpose: serving something greater than ourselves. This conversation will leave you rethinking what it means to truly succeed.

90% of People Can Make More Money Using Her Advice
Tuesday, July 16, 2024 • Duration 53:23
Kosher Money is the bi-weekly podcast from Living Lchaim, hosted by Eli Langer.
It's not every day you hear from someone helping people make thousands... no, tens of thousands... maybe even hundreds of thousands of dollars more per year.
This is that episode.
Its potential to impact families and multiple generations is immense with 90% of workers in the U.S. being employed by someone else.
A few days before October 7th, 2023, I was in Israel at the kitchen table of Faige Herman, a woman who discovered how improving your soft skills can have a significant impact on the money you make and the success of your career.
The name of her organization, chosen after our recording, is Project Careers. You can learn more about her work and methods at https://projectcareers.org/
(BTW, and this is not an ad, it's a really nice website, so shout out to the developer who created it; their contact info is on the bottom of the site.)
Faige can be reached at info@projectcareers.org.
