Series on the Basics of Emunah, Education and marriage by Rabbi YY Jacobson

Living Lchaim is a podcast network dedicated to producing shows for the frum world.

That’s An Issue

Part of the Living L’Chaim network, the hosts, Dr. Tara and Yoni Klestzick, interview top mental health professionals on a variety of topics pertinent to today’s challenges. ‘Relief’, an incredible organization dedicated to providing mental health guidance, education, referrals, and treatment recommendations for individuals, is a partner in the podcast, working with the ‘That’s An Issue‘ team to interview the top psychologists, therapists, and more.

Kosher Money
Another Living Lchaim podcast explores how living the life of an Orthodox Jew in the 21st Century often necessitates a very significant income. Unfortunately, many are struggling to keep up. The Problem Is Bigger Than We Realize.
The cost of life for an Orthodox family with children can range from $150,000 to $350,000 or more, depending on city and schools of choice, lifestyle choices and number of children. The median income in America is $68,000 per family. This means that a family would potentially need to be in the top 5% of all income earners in the United States simply to get by!

The Solution
Solving this challenge begins with an open dialogue to create awareness and education and allowing for impactful feedback and interaction. Kosher Money aims to be a pivotal piece in creating this much-needed conversation.
Eli Langer was the former CNBC Social Media Producer and is currently the CEO of Harvesting Media. Each week, Eli sits down with experts to discuss various topics.

Be Impactful by Impact Fashion
Hi, I’m Rivky Itzkowitz I’m the founder and designer at Impact Fashion and I’m the host here at Be Impactful, the show about women making an Impact in their own corners of the world. I started Impact Fashion in November of 2016 so that the modest-minded women in my community could feel empowered to put their best foot forward every day, regardless of their size. In the process of growing my business I’ve been fortunate enough to connect with women of all different types and from all different fields. And the main lesson I’ve learnt is that we are all just improvising. We’re going around doing the best we can with what we’ve got, feeling self-conscious about what everyone else is accomplishing. The truth is, the people who you’re looking over your shoulder at are probably doing the exact same thing to someone else. So let’s talk about the real nitty gritty in our lives and journeys and lift each other up by being just a bit more open. Join me and my guests as we try to figure out what it means to Be Impactful.
