Living the life of an Orthodox Jew in the 21st Century often necessitates a very significant income. Unfortunately, many are struggling to keep up.

The Problem Is Bigger Than We Realize

The cost of life for an Orthodox family with children can range from $150,000 to $350,000 or more, depending on city and schools of choice, lifestyle choices and number of children.

The median income in America is $68,000 per family.

This means that a family would potentially need to be in the top 5% of all income earners in the United States simply to get by!

The Solution

Solving this challenge begins with an open dialogue to create awareness and education and allowing for impactful feedback and interaction.

Kosher Money aims to be a pivotal piece in creating this much-needed conversation.
