Rabbi
Daniel Lapin believes that money is the reward we get when we serve
another one of God’s children. Therefore, doing business is
doing God’s work. In his videos, courses, and books,
Thou Shall Prosper and Business
Secrets from the Bible, Rabbi Lapin leverages scripture to
weave a passionate and refreshing defense of capitalism.
In short: God wants man and woman to be together, to serve one
other, and to prosper as a result.
In
addition to capitalism, Rabbi Lapin and I discuss
Evangelicalism, the Prosperity Gospel (which he completely
disavows), the respective financial attitudes of Protestants v.
Catholics, and—yes—why Jews are disproportionately good with
money. Full-disclosure: I may be a biased participant in
this conversation because the two best financial days of my
life were the days I met the late Dave Goldberg and the day I met
Mark Zuckerberg. Suffice to say that I have benefitted tremendously
from my association with The Tribe, even if I once made a tragic
sartorial decisions at a Bat Mitzvah (listen for the details. It
mortifies me to this day.)
