Is it possible to grow in Torah and business at the same time?
Last week, I sat down with Moe Mernick, Ben Lang, and Michael Bloch to talk it through — live, in front of an energetic crowd of 50+ growth-oriented leaders, at the offices of DLA Piper Israel in Tel Aviv.
The “excuse” for the gathering was Moe’s new book, Conversations with Jewish Business Leaders — and the conversation went way beyond the book.
We discussed:
What success really means (and why it can’t be one-size-fits-all)
Why success isn’t about money — and how to build a life that actually feels aligned
Meaning at work, mid-career “what am I doing with my life?” moments, and the idea of learn / earn / return
How side projects can turn into real impact
Staying strong in the lows: imposter syndrome, mentors, community, and keeping perspective
Spiritual growth in the busy years: fixed learning times, realistic goals, balancing “heart” and “mind,” and accountability

Big thank you to the event hosts and sponsors: DLA Piper Israel and Yeshiva University Israel.
