In this episode, we ask:

Daniel Lapin was born into a prestigious Torah family. He was a student of his father, Rabbi A.H. Lapin, who served the Jewish communities in Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa, eventually immigrating to America with his wife where they established the Am Echad synagogue in San Jose, CA.

In 2002, Rabbi Lapin wrote his bestselling book Thou Shall Prosper: The Ten Commandments for Making Money (John Wiley ). This book continues selling well in America (as does its sequel Business Secrets from the Bible) and has also been translated into Chinese and Korean, among other languages. In 2007, Rabbi Lapin, along with his wife, Susan, founded Lifecodex Publishing. They began producing audio CDs and writing books to make ancient Jewish wisdom accessible to people of all faiths. Lifecodex Publishing now has DVDs as well as publishing works by other authors that promote traditional learning and values.

Rabbi Lapin is a frequent speaker for hundreds of groups, institutions, organizations, and companies including Family Research Council, Harvard Law School, the United States Army, the 1996 Republican National Convention, Voices United for Israel, and Young President’s Organization. Rabbi Lapin was the keynote speaker at the Congressional Bi-Partisan opening of the 106th Congress in Washington, DC.

Rabbi Lapin hosts a weekly audio podcast which presents thousands of years of Jewish wisdom emanating from the Bible, in ways that impact and improve modern-day life.
