Unless you're the Post Office or a University, you do not offer lifetime employment to new hires. It is a bad business practice. So why do we marry and say to each other, "this is forever" or "till death us do part"? Tenure is not good at the post office and not good at universities, so why does it work for marriage? Most successful partnerships are built on a carefully drafted partnership agreement. Why do many marriage partnerships thrive without any written agreement? The best airline...

The writing on the wall: Playboy Magazine in 1966. "Friends" sitcom in 1996. "Two and a Half Men" sitcom in 2006. What really happened during those 40 years. "Find a husband on campus before you graduate" wrote Princeton alumna Susan Patton in 2014 to her daughter, a Princeton coed. She generated fanatical fury. Ten years later, In 2024,  Grazie Sophia Christie writes "The Case for Marrying an Older Man" though, she really means "a richer man". She has also infuriated feminist fanatics. All...

Though far smaller than the failed economies of Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Somalia, or Haiti, success stories like Singapore, Dubai, and Malta stand out as bright beacons of peace and prosperity. Why, since 2005, has Gaza resembled the former? We learn the main reasons why some countries thrive financially while others fail miserably? We explore whether these explanations can also apply to you and me in our own personal finances. Can we all learn something from the ethnic minorities who thrive...

Unlike alpacas, antelopes, & alligators, we humans are capable of dramatically changing the landscape of our lives. Unlike beavers, buffaloes, and bears, we don't need many generations to adapt to changing environments. No, we humans can recognize the devastation that inflation is wreaking on our lives -- and adapt! First, recognize the true extent of inflation. At least 20% since April 2020. That is like someone stealing a $100 bill from you and replacing it with four $20 bills. This...

Men used to tend toward jobs in which they work with things (farming, construction, factories, etc.), while women tended towards home and family or jobs in which they work with people (teaching, nursing, stewardess, etc.). A few people worked with ideas (lawyers, philosophy professors, clergy). Today it's less evident than it used to be. But maybe men still yearn to make, manipulate, or fix things so they have hobbies. Men working in agriculture: 1900 = 38%; 2000 = 10%. Does having things in...

Lighting oneself on fire to make a political point; heroism or immorality? How we decide will impact the streets of your city.  As for your rabbi, not so interested in talking to someone who brings a can of gasoline and a lighter to the discussion. Suicide = Murder; true or false? Single people can be happy. Anyone can be happy--it's a decision. Women generally want to be married. Men learn, often too late, how much they need marriage. Temporary intimate relationships between men and women...

Back in 1950 Yemenite Jews arriving in Israel saw water faucets and thought they created water. They knew nothing of the invisible infrastructure of pipes and pumps that made water gush out of the faucet. Similarly, there is an invisible spiritual infrastructure that makes modern commerce possible. Finding food in the supermarket reliably every day; assuming the light will come on when you flick the wall switch; reaching someone on the other side of the world from your mobile phone; knowing...

Co-hosted with Susan Lapin. If you cannot play tennis, your life can still be good. If you can't sing, play a musical instrument, or tell jokes, your life can still be wonderful. But there are five distinct things that are vital for every successful and happy life. What is more, you cannot have 3 out of the 5. It's all five or nothing. In a  way, these five  things make up an indivisible totality of good living. A good way of thinking of them is as your life's operating system. Everything you...

Why hate the Jews? The honest, true, and deeply uncomfortable explanation for anti-Semitism. Two nations on one island: Haiti is desperate and hopeless. The Dominican Republic is vibrant and successful. What is the difference? Whenever you hear concern about "The Children" know that you are being powerfully and emotionally  manipulated for political purposes.  More Jews had to leave Arab lands than Arabs had to leave Israel in 1948. Why are Arab refugees treated differently from all other...

Read about this useful tool for making the new year a better year than last year. It's called Chart Your Course  https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/chart-your-course-book-video-bundle/

I prefer a sacred Christmas to a secular Christmas. Secularism is not just a fair way to organize a pluralistic society. It exerts a malign influence on civilization in ways you can't imagine. A guy is really unhappy because his wife lunches with a male colleague a couple of times a week. Is his bank account relevant to this story? Why platonic friendships between men and women between the ages of 15 and 70 never work. Is an emotional affair a thing? What should the unhappy guy do? Remember...

Do you know the really unpopular message of Chanuka? That's right, it has something to do with burning oil. Why the Fossil Fuel vision seems to drag along a vision of shortage, limits, and ultimately poverty. Predictions of running out of coal and oil go back to the 19th century and they've all been wrong. Why do they keep making them? It's almost as if they WANT to run out of energy. What's going on? Is it time for you to start making only wise decisions in the important areas of your life?...

Many mistakenly believe that the proliferation of regulations and laws are evidence of a society's sophistication and advance. In reality, that is like saying that all the medications in an old man's medicine chest are evidence of his good health. Preserving a functioning family or a successful society is hard and mostly depends on a rare array of tools. In this show, your rabbi provides a guide to those tools. Are you thinking about making next year different from last year? Here is a very...

Do you want a good life? Do you know what a good life means? What do you have to do in order to achieve a good life? How Germany defeated France in only six weeks in early 1940. Why Mercedes and BMW are more reliable cars than Peugeot and Citroën. What this teaches us about making our lives good. Especially the connection between money and marriage. What is the purpose of physical intimacy: pleasure or procreation? Both? Why must the life-enhancing energy we call family derive from this...

Your rabbi confesses that there are aspects of the Islamic struggle for world domination that he admires; not likes, not values, not commends and not approves, but admires. You will learn why considering this a struggle between Islam and Democracy is childish. Why Moslems fight among themselves.  Why the Palestinian issue will never be solved by a bureaucrat with a map and a pencil. Why the hideous savagery of October 7th? Why they die in Gaza? What happened to the Red Cross and the kidnapped...

In war, whether economic or military, masculine countries tend to beat feminine countries. What is gender when looking at countries and societies? Why do some societies become feminized? Why is this dangerously destructive? Is there a way to "have it all"? Read about how to integrate the different areas of your life in our new book The Holistic You. Available at your favorite bookseller now.  https://bit.ly/TheHolisticYouBook 

In this show, we answer the puzzling paradoxes in the previous show. Even the most baffling behavioral enigmas surrender to a coherent moral matrix. A moral matrix answers questions in four main areas: Family, Finance, Friendships, and Fitness. A moral matrix is not time-dependent; what was moral years ago will still be moral in years to come. Could a moral matrix emerge by itself in an isolated society? Why do secular/socialistic regimes never endure for very long? Read about Scrolling...

Much of what you say flows subconsciously from your morality matrix. Many of your decisions are made based on your morality matrix. If you don’t have one, you are making a whole bunch of damaging mistakes in your life. With a  proper functioning morality matrix you make far fewer mistakes and life is more joyful. With no morality matrix, or worse, a broken one, you are making decisions in finance, romance, and socially that will come back and bite you—if they haven’t already done so. Morality...
