The secret of Jewish wealth

Five sessions on a tradition that has been thinking hard about money for a very long time — what it is for, who it belongs to, and how the people who handle it well manage to stay people.

We meet on Wednesdays, 6:45–7:45 PM. Dinner is at 6:30 PM; the speaker follows.

The five parts

01 Tzedaka Why giving is framed as justice rather than generosity, and what that changes about how you earn.
02 Community What you owe the people around you, and what a network is actually for.
03 Morals The lines that do not move, in a field that will pay you well to move them.
04 Relationships Partners, mentors and the people you will still want in the room in twenty years.
05 Shabbos The discipline of stopping — and why the most driven people you will meet keep it.

Freshmen: EDGE

First year? There's a separate, highly selective track built for you — real access to the people and rooms most students do not reach for years.
