Do Not Derive Identity From Good Deeds

Kosher Money is the bi-weekly podcast from Living Lchaim, hosted by Eli Langer.

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 and should we care what people say?

Rabbi Taub explains that money isn’t evil, it’s energy with the power to build or destroy.
