Rabbi Naftali Horowitz has spent decades helping people build and protect their wealth. But growing up as the child of Holocaust survivors, his own relationship with money was shaped by fear and financial insecurity.
"I never tried to become wealthy. I just ran so far away from poverty."
In this episode of Kosher Money, Rabbi Horowitz opens up about his childhood, the anxiety he still struggles with today, and why building your net worth is not the same as building your self-worth.
We also get into the $56 million fortune lost in the Bernie Madoff scandal, a businessman who turned down a potential $2 million deal to finish his breakfast, why Rabbi Horowitz gave up WhatsApp and his personal smartphone, and the financial mistakes he wishes more people would avoid.
It's a conversation about money, success, anxiety, family, and figuring out what actually matters.
Rabbi Horowitz's new book, Foundations for Success, is available here:
