Aron Pinson, a successful financial advisor and asset manager, is giving a series of classes at Kolel L’horaah Ma’asis of Crown Heights.
The 3 part series will assist the yungeleit in beginning their married life with the tools they need to successfully balance their family’s finances and achieve financial security.
Pinson is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer at Equinum, an investment advisor firm, and is a supporter of the Kolel L’horaah Ma’asis.
During the course, Pinson will teach the importance of balancing one’s personal finances, the importance of compounding, why to invest early and often, and the difference between bad debt vs good debt.
The course is revolutionary as part of a Kolel curriculum, and leaders of the Kolel believe that it will greatly benefit the members.
“There are so many young men who end up in a ton of debt during their first years of marriage,” says Rabbi Shloimy Greenwald, Founder of the Kolel. “Coming from Yeshiva, they have no experience in financial management, and how to pay bills, rent, and balancing their financing. So we feel that this is crucial for them to learn as well.”
R’ Berel Junik, a supporter of the Kolel, praised the initiative, saying, “it’s such a great thing that you are providing real-life education to the young husbands and fathers, setting them up for future success. Yasher Koach!”
This should be a shiur given to every Boucher graduating yeshiva

Can this be broadcast so out-of-towners can benefit from it?
Thank you for posting.
If this can be recorded with video in the future, if would be greatly appreciated.
Can we get a recording of the series?
Great job.
Mr. Pinson is a wise man and fantastic in his profession.
Kol Hakavod for doing this
Excellent initiative! I’ve been privileged to give similar classes at Beth Rivkah and Ohel Chana in Melbourne and running a programme called Start Money Smart. Young people need to learn about finances as early as possible including the tips and traps. So many relationships start with one partner already in debt. Healthy relationships must include conversations about our relationship with money. Financial literacy and responsibility is one of the pillars to shalom bayis. Thank goodness this is finally worthy to be included in the kolel curriculum.
