Summary
In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Mendy Feferkorn shares why he’s on a mission to bring financial awareness to the Hasidic community and beyond—without any personal gain.
After facing a financial blind spot himself, Mendy—a self-described "regular Jew"—realized that many Orthodox Jewish families simply don’t know what they don’t know.
From the dangers of credit cards to the importance of starting to save for your child’s wedding the day they’re born, Mendy walks us through practical, Torah-aligned financial strategies every family needs to hear.
💸 How can $5 a day turn into over $100,000?
💳 Why is living on credit destroying frum households?
🏦 What’s the best way to set up retirement savings without a broker?
🛡️ Why is life insurance not optional—and what is Areivim USA?
His message is clear: You don’t need to be rich to live responsibly. You need discipline, consistency, and the awareness to plan for the future.
Whether you’re 25, 42, or 60, this episode is a must-watch for anyone serious about securing their family’s financial future—with Hashem’s help.
