Living Lchaim

In this thoughtful conversation, Rabbi Ari Schonfeld explores how money quietly shapes family life — from clothing and vacations to peer pressure and self-esteem. Drawing on his experience as a yeshiva principal, educator, and parent, he shares powerful insights on how families can raise confident children who value character, relationships, and purpose over material comparisons. The discussion highlights why kids don’t really want more things — they want more of their parents’ time, attention, and values.
