How to Invest Wisely in 2025

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.

The Jewish Parent’s Guide to Money, Work and Family

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Mendy Feferkorn shares why he’s on a mission to bring financial awareness to the Hasidic community and beyond—without any personal gain.

After facing a financial blind spot himself, Mendy—a self-described "regular Jew"—realized that many Orthodox Jewish families simply don’t know what they don’t know.

From the dangers of credit cards to the importance of starting to save for your child’s wedding the day they’re born, Mendy walks us through practical, Torah-aligned financial strategies every family needs to hear.

💸 How can $5 a day turn into over $100,000?

💳 Why is living on credit destroying frum households?

🏦 What’s the best way to set up retirement savings without a broker?

🛡️ Why is life insurance not optional—and what is Areivim USA?

His message is clear: You don’t need to be rich to live responsibly. You need discipline, consistency, and the awareness to plan for the future.

Whether you’re 25, 42, or 60, this episode is a must-watch for anyone serious about securing their family’s financial future—with Hashem’s help.
