Rabbi Daniel Lapin

This morning for our devotional at Lampo, we had the privilege of hearing Rabbi Daniel Lapin speak. He delivered a very good message on how we look at money. He discussed how money can be seen as a spiritual thing as opposed to a physical thing. I don't really want to get into all of the details that he discussed because you can get the gist of it from his book Thou Shall Prosper.

Rabbi Lapin will also be a guest on The Dave Ramsey Show later today. You can catch the show live online between 2-5pm EST.

If you want to learn more about Rabbi Lapin you can visit his Web site Lifecodex.

Daniel Lapin (born c. 1950) is a political commentator and American Orthodox rabbi living on Mercer Island, Washington, and the founder of Toward Tradition (a conservative Jewish-Christian organization). He also once headed the Pacific Jewish Center in Venice, Los Angeles, California,(as well as the Commonwealth Loan Company and the Cascadia Business Institute). Lapin is co-chair of the conservative American Alliance of Jews and Christians.... (More from Wikipedia)

I need to start a pet peeve blog too, but I might make too many people mad. Just joking.

Thanks for stopping by Matthew. Did we take Hebrew together at Lipscomb? I recall a guy being in my class from Nova Scotia. It was an evening graduate class. Was it you?

I use to be in Hohenwald by the way.

Ben,

I wish you had recorded Rabbi L's "devotional" thing - I would have loved to heard it.

I caught the time between 5 and 6 on Dave's Radio show - it was good.
I am going to listen to dave tonight on Fox - I think I'm going to become a Dave Ramsey fan - Rabbi L said Dave had a good "system" - so if Rabbi L says that - then it is certainly worth my time to learn more. :)

btw - you took hebrew? I'm strangely impressed....

blessings,
sarah

I'll have to see if I can get a copy of the devo talk. I did take a few hours of Hebrew, but I would be very rusty with it right now. I've set out several times to review it, but always got distracted with something else.

Glad to hear you're becoming a Dave fan.
