Understanding The Jewish Prescription for Wealth: Maaser (with Rabbi Yosef Kushner)

Rabbi Yosef Kushner returns to the Kosher Money podcast to discuss Maaser, the charitable act of giving away 10% of your earnings to charity. Is it a biblical commandment? Where did this custom come from? What are the benefits? Can one give away more than 10%? Those questions and more were discussed in an action-packed episode. Oh, Rabbi Kushner has an amazing book named Commerce & Shabbos, which is available for purchase here: https://amzn.to/3jJCeblHave a Q for the Rabbi?

Money plays a central role in the life of an Orthodox Jew, not just practically but spiritually. From the costs of Jewish education and kosher living to the deeper meaning of earning and spending in alignment with Torah values, financial challenges are as spiritual as they are practical. Kosher Money, an original Living Lchaim podcast, dives into the intersection of Judaism and finance. Host Eli Langer, former CNBC Social Media Producer and CEO of Harvesting Media, leads thought-provoking conversations with experts on how to navigate money matters with wisdom and faith.
