Rav Reuven Feinstein: Why Working Harder Won't Make You Rich (According to the Torah)
About this episode
Rabbi Reuven Feinstein discusses the Torah's perspective on wealth and effort in a candid conversation.
What really determines how much money you make? In this wide-ranging and refreshingly honest conversation, Rabbi Reuven Feinstein shares deeply practical Torah insights on livelihood, wealth, hustle culture, Shabbos spending, charity, and the balance between hishtadlus (effort) and bitachon (trust). From growing up with very little, to teaching on a modest salary, to discussing billionaires and million-dollar questions — Rabbi Feinstein challenges the way we think about money. Is working harder the answer? Is wealth a blessing or a test? How much hishtadlus is too much? And does YOUR money even belong to YOU? Along the way, he shares personal stories about Rav Moshe Feinstein, America's leading Rabbi in the previous generation, business ethics, secular education, living within your means, and why Shabbos expenses “don’t count.” I'm so thankful to Hashem that I experienced this conversation. Thank you to Avi Feinstein for making it happen. 👉 ✬ SPONSORS OF EPISODE 109 ✬ ► NQGRG – Halachic estate planning made simple. Protect your family, legally and according to Torah law.
