  • 123 - A Rabbi Gets Surprisingly Honest About Money

    Rabbi Simon Jacobson has spent decades teaching people how to live a meaningful life. But how does he think about money?

    We started with a question most people wouldn’t dare ask a rabbi: How much money do you make every year?

    To our surprise, he answered.

    And that opened the door to a much bigger conversation about why we’re so uncomfortable talking about money, why wealthy people sometimes go to great lengths to hide what they have, and how easily our bank accounts become tied to our sense of self-worth.

    In this episode of Kosher Money, Rabbi Simon Jacobson gets remarkably candid about his own finances, buying his first home with almost no money, raising funds for the Meaningful Life Center, and the fears that have sometimes held him back from growing his organization.

    We also explore why he calls money one of the most powerful drugs, how wealth can tear families apart, and why having more money doesn’t necessarily mean having more peace of mind.

    Then the conversation takes an unexpected turn: artificial intelligence, Elon Musk’s predictions about the future of wealth, and Rabbi Jacobson’s fascinating belief that technology may be preparing us for a world where earning a living is no longer the center of our lives.

    It’s a wide-ranging conversation about money, emunah, ambition, generosity, AI, and what makes a life truly meaningful.

  • 122 - Kicked Out at 13, Millionaire at 26, Miserable at 28

    Tuvy Lemberg wasn't exactly the kid anyone expected to become a successful entrepreneur.

    He struggled in school, got kicked out, dropped out as a teenager, and spent years trying to figure out where he belonged.

    Then he built a photography products company that brought in millions of dollars in revenue.

    The money came. The nice cars came. The recognition came. But the happiness he thought would come with all of it? Not so much.

    In this episode of Kosher Money, Tuvy shares his remarkable journey from struggling student to successful business owner, why financial success left him feeling empty, how he found his way back to Yiddishkeit, and what he learned about taking risks, building businesses, finding love, and starting over.

    It's an honest conversation about money, happiness, bitachon, and why it's never too late to change the direction of your life.

    We also get into his latest business venture, Primal Crisp, and what it takes to turn an idea into a real business.

    His contact is tuvylemberg@gmail.com

  • 119 - She Built a Business Going After People Who Don't Pay Their Bills

    DISCLAIMER: This episode discusses a challenge that some businesses and individuals have experienced when extending credit or waiting for payment. This is a widespread problem, not specific to one industry, one religion or one group of people. Also, it is vital to emphasize that these experiences should not be understood as reflecting the conduct of the community as a whole. The overwhelming majority of people strive to act with integrity, honesty, and in line with both the law and Torah values. Our goal here is not to stereotype or cast blame, but to have an honest discussion about a real issue. If anybody has specific questions that are relevant to their situation, they should speak to their local Orthodox rabbi. This show is not meant to offer specific halachic or legal guidance in any way, shape or form. Our hope is that by talking about this with care, we can encourage accountability, strengthen trust, and reinforce the values we all share.At 35, Rivka Brodsky was starting over with eight kids, no work experience, and few computer skills.

    Years later, she built a collections business recovering millions, while helping others become financially independent.

    Her story is impressive and she is a real inspiration for many.
