What does “America’s Rabbi” know about business? Plenty, as it turns out. Listen in when Meny talks with Rabbi Daniel Lapin, host of the weekly television show Ancient Jewish Wisdom and author of books like Thou Shall Prosper, about the ways that ancient Jewish wisdom contains the keys to prosperity and financial success. Rabbi Lapin explains why a giving mindset is crucial, how to avoid the incorrect idea that prosperity means taking something away from people, whether the trope that Jews are good with money actually contains an important truth, why you need to increase your circle of friends (and how to do it) when high intelligence can work against you, and more. 

Rabbi Daniel Lapin, known widely as America’s Rabbi, is a noted rabbinic scholar, best-selling author, and TV host. He is president of the American Alliance of Jews and Christians, author of America’s Real War; Thou Shall Prosper, and other best-sellers. A frequent guest on Fox News, WallBuilders Radio, and Glenn Beck TV, he hosts his own popular radio and podcast programs with audiences worldwide. He hosts the weekly television show Ancient Jewish Wisdom with his wife, Susan, on the TCT Television Network.
