Food, Sex, and Money: Where We’re Really Tested w/ Rabbi Alon Anava

In this episode of In Search of More, I sit down with Rabbi Alon Anava for a deep and honest conversation about money, purpose, and spiritual growth.We begin with something that’s been on my mind a lot lately - our relationship with money. Rabbi Alon shares a powerful framework: food, sexuality, and money as core areas where we’re all being refined. From earning honestly to giving generously, we explore how money can either become an idol, or a tool for elevation.Rabbi Alon also opens up about his past: addiction, crime, jail time and the near-death experience that completely redirected his life. We talk about truth, charity, boundaries in helping others, and what it means to live with urgency in a world that constantly distracts us.This one is real, reflective, and grounded. If you’re thinking about how to live with more intention, especially around money and time, there’s a lot here.See you on the other side,Eli
