Today I’m joined by Rabbi Zalman Duchman, Executive Director of Colel Chabad. We’re talking about tzedakah and the many ways in which Colel Chabad has revolutionized tzedakah, including bringing the tzedakah pushka to your pocket through the MyPushka App. We speak about the origins of Colel Chabad and the tzedakah that Colel Chabad provides in the Land of Israel. Colel Chabad is the oldest continuously operating tzedakah organization in Eretz Israel. You won’t only learn about Colel Chabad and its activities, but you’ll learn about tzedakah itself. Rabbi Duchman shares some beautiful insights from the book of Tanya and from the different Chabad Rebbes that I hope will have a positive impact on your relationship with money, infuse your tzedakah with meaning, and with a sense of urgency. Stay tuned for a fun fact regarding what’s become a Jewish household staple, the pushkah. And of course, I truly hope that after listening to this interview, you download the MyPushkah app immediately on your phone and make use of it on a daily basis, as you’ll hear today about the power of continuous giving. To download the My Pushkah App, request a pushkah for your home or office, donate to Colel Chabad, and learn more head over to colelchabad.org The post 453: Revolutionizing Tzedaka with Rabbi Zalman Duchman Executive Director of Colel Chabad appeared first on Yael Trusch.

David is the author of two books: I Never Met The Rebbe Many Times and David’s Harp. He’s a renowned speaker, rabbi, publisher, journalist, author, musician, and filmmaker. Today you’ll hear how his interview with former Dean of the Washington Press Corp Helen Thomas changed his life, well, and hers – as it revealed her antisemitism and led to the demise of her 60 year career in journalism. Stay tuned for that story. This conversation is packed with life lessons as David shares pieces of his journey towards Jewish observance, leaving his role as a Conservative Rabbi, not only to become fully immersed in Torah but in the world of business. This is a perfect conversation to get us into the “mundane” of Cheshvan with gusto and zest. Here’s the wise David Nesenoff.

You’re not going to believe what I’ve dug from the archives for you. My very first interview with visual artist Yaeli Vogel, back in May of 2019. It was episode 97 on this show. You heard Yaeli Vogel recently on the show, and today you get to hear a lot more about the early days of her career as an artist – how she got started, G-d closing a door on her in order to open another one, the risk taking leap of faith, the resourcefulness, grit, and the unwavering support of her husband. So many lessons in entrepreneurship, pursuing your talents, getting things done, and more in this episode. And wait till you hear how she sold a painting to Ivanka Trump while she was in the White House. Here’s Yaeli Vogel.

Today on Jewish Money Matters, we explore a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: financial trauma. What is it? How does it get passed down from generation to generation? And most importantly — how can we rewrite the script so that we can thrive, not just survive, financially and emotionally? To guide us, I have with me Dr. Edith Shiro, clinical psychologist, co-founder of the Trauma and Resilience Center, and author of the powerful book The Unexpected Gift of Trauma: The Path to Post-Traumatic Growth. Dr. Shiro has spent over 25 years helping individuals and families heal from trauma and grow stronger through it. In our conversation we unpack the hidden money beliefs many of us inherited, how trauma can shape our financial behavior in surprising ways, and how the very experiences that shook us can ultimately become the catalyst for growth, abundance, and healing.
