Kosher Money

• The Healthcare Secret Jewish Families are Using to Save $30,000 PER YEAR

  In our latest episode of Kosher Money, we dive into one of the most stressful and expensive parts of American life: healthcare.• Why are families paying $48,000 a year just to stay insured?• Why does the system feel so broken?• Is there another way?To help us figure it out, we sat down with Moishe Katz, the CEO of United Refuah Healthshare, a Jewish healthshare that’s helping families get real medical care without drowning in costs.We talk about how it actually works, who it helps (and who it doesn’t), and what it means to take healthcare back into the hands of our community.It’s one of those episodes that makes you say, “Wait… how did I not know about this sooner?”👉 Explore all the links and resources mentioned in this episode below.Disclaimer: This discussion is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, medical, insurance, or financial advice.

• The Jewish View That Will Change How You See Money (with Rabbi Shais Taub)

  In our latest episode of Kosher Money, we sit down with Rabbi Shais Taub — one of the most sought-after Jewish thinkers of our time — to explore one of life’s most misunderstood topics: money.• What's the deal with Jews AND money? • Should we care what people say about it? • Is money spiritual or material? • Why does the Torah’s view of wealth differ so radically from society’s?In this eye-opening and deeply soulful conversation, Rabbi Taub reveals that money is not evil — it’s energy. It’s potential that can build worlds or burn them down.Eli said it was one of the top five conversations he's ever had in his life. You'll see why.Explore all the links and resources mentioned in this episode below.✬ SPONSORS OF EPISODE 102 ✬► THE BUSINESS ORGANIZER – Feeling stuck in your own business? You're not alone.
