We’ve all been in financial difficulties, at times. My guest is no exception and he’s always come out better on the other side. To what does he credit his financial successes and turnarounds? Exclusively to maaser and to chomesh. That is giving 10% or 20% of your net income.


Joel is a high tech entrepreneur and executive, living in Israel for over thirty years. He takes us through his first initial encounter with the concept of maaser, what got him to try it out, and what got him to stay committed to it for life? When did he level up to chomesh and why?


I knew Joel was very passionate about chomesh – which is not a topic people speak about often – and that had a lot to share. And boy was I right. But, little did I know that we’d also come out of this episode with an awesome chomesh and maaser tracking tool. Joel took his extensive experience in tech combined with his experience carefully upholding the halachos of maaser and chomesh and provided the Jewish world with a wonderful gift: the ez- maaser app.


Joel and I not only discuss his journey, but also talk about the importance of having a Rav that you consult with. Oh and wait till you hear his full answer on what to do when we’re racking up debt because we’re experiencing an income challenge.


Joel shared beautiful stories and I have no doubt that you’ll really get the power of maaser and chomesh, and will be inspired to up your “giving game”. Here’s Joel Rosenstein.
