Living Lchaim


Living the life of an Orthodox Jew in the 21st Century often necessitates a very significant income. Unfortunately, many are struggling to keep up.


The Problem Is Bigger Than We Realize

The cost of life for an Orthodox family with children can range from $150,000 to $350,000 or more, depending on city and schools of choice, lifestyle choices and number of children.


The median income in America is $68,000 per family.


This means that a family would potentially need to be in the top 5% of all income earners in the United States simply to get by!


The Solution

Solving this challenge begins with an open dialogue to create awareness and education and allowing for impactful feedback and interaction.


Kosher Money aims to be a pivotal piece in creating this much-needed conversation.


Eli Langer was the former CNBC Social Media Producer and is currently the CEO of Harvesting Media. Each week, Eli sits down with experts to discuss various topics.


This is an original podcast by Living Lchaim and its partnered-sponsor is Living Smarter Jewish.

Is This The Biggest Issue Facing Orthodox Jews? (Featuring Zevy Wolman & Yaakov Langer)

Want to build wealth? Want to be successful?

What you shouldn’t do is just as important as what you should do, according to JP Morgan Wealth Management’s Naftali Horowitz, who advises multi-millionaires on how to invest and grow their wealth. 

Buckle up for a fascinating episode.

Naftali's book "You Revealed: A Torah path to a Life of Success" can be found here:

Please note: this book was written predominately for an observant Jewish reader.

(Due to high demand the book sells out quickly but is usually back in stock within one week)

Wanna Build Wealth? Avoid These Money Mistakes (Feat. Naftali Horowitz)

The question on so many people’s minds is: How much hishtadlus (effort) does one have to put into his work vs. having emunah (trust) that Hashem will provide?

Kosher Money sat down with Rabbi Moshe Hauer, EVP at the OU, to tackle all sorts of hashkafah questions as it relates to your career, women in the workplace, tuition, Maaser (tithing), and so much more. 

This conversation is certainly a heavier conversation, though an important one to have! 

See ya, Kosher Money Nation!

High Paying Jobs and Where to Find Them (feat. Ned Schoenfeld)

97% of Orthodox Jews consider tuition to be the number one challenge of living as an Orthodox Jew, according to a Nishmas study.

In a first of many upcoming Tuition episodes, Kosher Money was privileged to pick the brain of Rabbi Heshy Glass, the founding national chairman of the Consortium of Jewish Day Schools, and is a longtime educator with over 35 years of experience overseeing both elementary and high schools across the country. He has trained and taught over 60 day school principals.
