Summary
In this thought-provoking talk, Rabbi Daniel Lapin reveals a biblical perspective on work, wealth, and purpose. He challenges modern career clichés like “follow your passion,” teaching instead that success comes from serving others and meeting their needs. Lapin reminds us that God designed prosperity as a reward for connection — helping one another, adding value, and learning to love the work that blesses others and honors Him.
