In our 101st episode of Kosher Money, we take you out of town to Columbus, Ohio, one of America’s most surprising, affordable, and fast-growing Jewish communities. If you’ve ever wondered what out-of-town Jewish life really looks like, this episode will open your eyes. Rabbi Avi Goldstein and Meir Perlmutter share how Columbus became a thriving hub of Orthodox life, complete with kosher restaurants, strong schools, affordable homes, and a deep sense of connection. We explore: ???? Why housing in Columbus costs a fraction of what it does in Lakewood or the Five Towns ???? How families are saving tens of thousands of dollars in tuition in Ohio ???????????????? What it means to raise kids in a community where everyone knows your name ???? How two passionate community builders helped turn a small Midwest city into a center of Jewish growth Columbus appears to offer a calmer, more intentional Jewish lifestyle with less financial pressure and more opportunities to start something big. If you’ve ever said, “I could never leave the tri-state,” this episode might make you think again. Visit https://www.columbuspathways.org/ to learn more.
