The Business Breakfast Is Back

Family Finances: Choshen Mishpat between husband and wife

After a long hiatus, the Kollel welcomed back one of our most popular programs- The Business Breakfast. In partnership with the Chicago Choshen Mishpat Institute, the Business Breakfast brings awareness of the Torah's monetary laws to the forefront, enabling us to live with honesty and integrity.

Rav Zev Cohen, Rav of Adas Yeshurun and Rosh Kollel of the Choshen Mishpat Institute, was our featured speaker. In his inimitable style, R’ Cohen addressed the intersection of marriage and monetary law. The kesuba and its accompanying Rabbinic enactments establish clear baselines on the financial obligation of a husband to his wife, and on a wife to her husband. The most important part, however, is that upon marriage the husband accepts the responsibility - the achrayus (it loses something in translation) - to to be there for his wife in all areas.
