Summary

Does God want you to be rich? Rabbi Dr. Ari Lamm takes this provocative question head-on, unraveling the Torah’s surprising insights on wealth.

Hear why Abraham might be the original entrepreneur. Discover how true generational wealth isn’t just about money but about passing down unshakable values. Could the Garden of Eden hold the secret to why leaving paradise was the first step toward building an enduring legacy?

Rabbi Lamm, a brilliant Torah scholar, warns of the soul’s rot when we idolize wealth and forget its true purpose: serving something greater than ourselves. This conversation will leave you rethinking what it means to truly succeed.
