Kosher Money

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

Kosher Money

Show Notes

This episode of Kosher Money is unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

For the first time ever, our guest, Reb Binyomin Gringras, speaks publicly about the inner secrets uncovered after years of scouring hundreds of little known seforim and speaking with thousands of Torah giants and hidden tzaddikim.

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.

Tuvy Lemberg wasn't exactly the kid anyone expected to become a successful entrepreneur. He struggled in school, got kicked out, dropped out as a teenager, and spent years trying to figure out where he belonged. Then he built a photography products company that brought in millions of dollars in revenue. The money came. The nice cars came. The recognition came. But the happiness he thought would come with all of it? Not so much. In this episode of Kosher Money, Tuvy shares his remarkable journey from struggling student to successful business owner, why financial success left him feeling empty, how he found his way back to Yiddishkeit, and what he learned about taking risks, building businesses, finding love, and starting over. It's an honest conversation about money, happiness, bitachon, and why it's never too late to change the direction of your life. We also get into his latest business venture, Primal Crisp, and what it takes to turn an idea into a real business.

Five years ago, Rabbi, author, podcaster, Jewish thinker, friend - Dovid Bashevkin came on Kosher Money and gave us a lot to think about. Well, he’s back. And this time, we get into our relationship with money: why it has such a hold on us, what we’re really chasing through it, and how to build a life where money matters… without it becoming what matters most.

DISCLAIMER: This episode discusses a challenge that some businesses and individuals have experienced when extending credit or waiting for payment. This is a widespread problem, not specific to one industry, one religion or one group of people. Also, it is vital to emphasize that these experiences should not be understood as reflecting the conduct of the community as a whole. The overwhelming majority of people strive to act with integrity, honesty, and in line with both the law and Torah values. Our goal here is not to stereotype or cast blame, but to have an honest discussion about a real issue. If anybody has specific questions that are relevant to their situation, they should speak to their local Orthodox rabbi. This show is not meant to offer specific halachic or legal guidance in any way, shape or form. Our hope is that by talking about this with care, we can encourage accountability, strengthen trust, and reinforce the values we all share.At 35, Rivka Brodsky was starting over with eight kids, no work experience, and few computer skills. Years later, she built a collections business recovering millions, while helping others become financially independent. Her story is impressive and she is a real inspiration for many.

A new government investment account is making headlines. Some people are calling it one of the biggest opportunities ever offered to parents. Others think it's being oversold. So what's actually true? In this episode, we break down the new Trump Account from top to bottom. Who qualifies, how the $1,000 government contribution works, whether it's really "free money," the tax implications, the downsides almost nobody is talking about, and whether this should be your first choice over a 529 plan or Roth IRA - don't worry I explain what those are. If you have children, grandchildren, or hope to one day, this is an episode you'll want to understand before making any decisions. Listen closely and enjoy.
