On Solid Ground
Twenty years into her marriage, Chaya Brandwein was blessed with eight children — and had purchased eight apartments on a teacher’s salary.

Both she and her husband, R’ Dovid, were salaried employees. They regularly lectured on financial empowerment, usually on a volunteer basis. Shlomit sings professionally and occasionally gave interactive workshops accompanied […]
Money Wise
“Earning a good income is just the first step in financial freedom. If you don’t know how to manage that money, you can’t enjoy it.” That’s the core principle behind Imahot Ma’ashrot, one of Temech’s new programs. Nechama Perl, a financial coach, and a marital counselor, leads the group. She had her own journey to […]
