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.
