About this episode

In this episode, a Jewish divorce mediator discusses the impact of money on relationships and offers insights on building financial trust.

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? We sat down with Sarah Nissel, attorney, Pepperdine law professor, and Executive Director of the Jewish Divorce Assistance Center of LA. After mediating 300+ divorces, she shares what really makes or breaks relationships when it comes to money, how to communicate without shame, handle conflict, and build marriages that actually last. 👉 ✬ SPONSORS OF EPISODE 105 ✬ ► TWILLORY – Premium menswear that looks sharp and feels even better.
