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.

The Hasidic Man with a Money Warning for Jewish Families

The Hasidic Man with a Money Warning for Jewish Families

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.

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

Today, we’re talking about one of the biggest stressors in modern life: money.Why do we work harder than ever yet still feel trapped? Why does financial pressure dominate our choices? And most importantly, are we chasing success—or just stress?

To break this down, we’re joined by Moishe Bane—a Rabbi, a lawyer, and a leader in the Jewish community. From decades of investing, advising entrepreneurs, and mentoring families to overseeing the Orthodox Union, his perspective is sharp, his insights are eye-opening, and his message? Uncomfortable, but necessary. If you’ve ever felt the weight of making a living, this conversation is for you.

To contact: MoisheBane@gmail.com

To hear R' Moishe Bane's life story and mission, watch this.
