“Money talks,” the saying goes.
If our money speaks, what does it say?
Does our identity as Chassidim influence our attitude toward money?
How can we take control of our money stories?
How can we raise children with a healthy attitude toward money?

“Wow, three whole rubles. A small fortune! What should it be used for? A book or a watch?”
This dilemma, familiar to everyone across all ages, was deliberated by a young child in Russia.
In episode 4 of the Optimizing Mothers podcast, Mrs. Yael Trusch, host of the Jewish Money Matters podcast and author of the course “G-d Wants You to Be Rich,” tells us about the decision the young Frieridker Rebbe finally made. She also gives methods for aligning our finances with our values and bringing our families along for the ride.

Does the phrase “let’s talk about finances” send you running to clean the kitchen?
Yael addresses all this and more in “Money Morals”.
