Dazzling Money Insights — Illuminating Torah Essays about Money
A man works hard and it comes to little. Another does not and it comes to plenty. What does the Torah actually say about the money you earn, the money you lose, and how much of either is in your hands?
Fifty-six essays on parnassah — the livelihood that is decided and the effort that is still required, mazal, the man with a trade and the man without one, the loss that turns out to be profitable, and learning and earning in one life.
Drawn from Shabbos, Taanis and Baba Basra, with the Chazon Ish, the Steipler and the Baal Shem Tov.
For anyone carrying the weight of a parnassah.
Rabbi Yehoshua Alt has written thirteen seforim in the Insights series, and writes the weekly Fascinating Insights sheet carried on JewishPress.com.
