He's Warning Jews About Fake Segulos (and Revealing Which Really Work)

This episode of Kosher Money is unlike anything you’ve ever seen...not just here, but anywhere. For the first time ever, our guest, Reb Binyomin Gringras, speaks publicly about the inner secrets he’s uncovered after years of scouring hundreds of little-known seforim and speaking with thousands of Torah giants and hidden tzaddikim. Much of what he shares has never been discussed online before. Some parts are in Hebrew — not because they couldn’t be translated, but because some things are better left hush. Reb Binyomin dives deep into the mysterious world of segulos — ancient Jewish customs believed to bring blessing and success. He shares which ones are real and which are made up. We cover segulos for wealth, children, health, lost items, and much more — plus the power of visiting a tzaddik’s kever and what to daven for there. He also reveals the story of a 19th-century tzaddik who died young but left behind a spiritual masterpiece — a book now being rediscovered that shares practical life advice with profound insights. By the end, you’ll hear stories that will leave your jaw on the floor.

The Private Truth About Jewish Marriage I Learned from 300 Divorces

The Private Truth About Jewish Marriage I Learned from 300 Divorces

We explore one of the most sensitive and least discussed topics in Jewish life: money and marriage. • Why do so many couples avoid talking about money? • What do fights about money really represent? • How can couples build financial trust and literacy before — and during — marriage? • What role should community education play in preparing young people for real-world financial responsibility? To unpack all this, we sat down with Sarah Nissel, an attorney, law professor at Pepperdine, and Executive Director of the Jewish Divorce Assistance Center of Los Angeles. After mediating over 300 divorces, Sarah has learned what truly makes (and breaks) relationships when it comes to money — and how self-awareness, communication, and education can prevent heartbreak. She shares candid lessons from the front lines: how to talk about money without shame, how to manage conflict constructively, and why the chuppah isn’t the finish line — it’s the starting line. It’s a powerful, eye-opening conversation about emotional intelligence, financial transparency, and Torah values in Jewish relationships — not just how to avoid divorce, but how to build marriages that actually thrive. 👉 ✬ SPONSORS OF EPISODE 105 ✬ ► TWILLORY – Premium menswear that looks sharp and feels even better.

How to Invest Wisely in 2026

How to Invest Wisely in 2026

We dive into one of the most important parts of personal finance: building wealth that actually lasts. • Is it possible to grow wealth quickly? • How can ordinary people invest wisely in 2026? • What does it really mean to “pay yourself first”? • Which investing mistakes do most people make? To walk us through it, we sat down with Jonathan Shenkman, a financial adviser who has spent nearly two decades helping families take control of their money. He explains how to set up savings that run automatically, how to choose the right investment accounts, and why keeping things simple often beats trying to outsmart the market. We also talk about how to organize your accounts, communicate about money with your spouse, and spend in a way that feels both responsible and enjoyable. It is a straightforward, practical conversation that gives real-world guidance (not advice, duh) on how to save, invest, and live with financial peace of mind, with God's help. 👉 ✬ SPONSORS OF EPISODE 104 ✬ ► THE BUSINESS ORGANIZER – Feeling stuck in your own business?
