Rabbi Teaches Jewish Prosperity to All

By Elizabeth Jones


There is no question that religious tradition can teach us the very deepest values,"timeless tools" as Rabbi Celso calls them. "These tools were here before we got here and will be here after we are all gone, so we might as well use them," says Rabbi Celso Cukierkorn Author of The Bestselling Secrets of Jewish Wealth Revealed!

Rabbi Celso Cukierkorn understands the importance of speaking in a way that people today can understand-but also of drawing from the well of historical teaching. A financial guru whose plainspoken advice and abiding belief that the traditions of the past have practical value even in today's tumultuous economy, Rabbi Celso has drawn comparisons to such popular financial advisors as Dave Ramsey.

Rabbi Celso knows that real wisdom isn't applicable to Jews only, but to Gentiles as well. Perhaps this is why his book has found broad appeal, and why he frequently finds himself in the position of teaching evangelical Christians about healthy financial practices. Rabbi Celso comes from a rabbinic line that goes back 700 years, and his work draws on thousands of years of Jewish wisdom.

"The People's Rabbi", as they call him, speaks in a such a way that is simple to comprehend, but also using history and humor all tempered with a lot of good advice.

Actually, his evangelical readers seem just as enthused over his teachings as his Jewish ones. One Amazon review suggests that Rabbi Celso's appeal is in his ability to lean on a Jewish understanding of financial responsibility, but illuminate it in a way that connects with the non-Jewish person as well; the reviewer notes that the rabbi seems to excel at providing the insight needed for "the reader, from any religious background, to understand the Jewish perspective on investment and financial well-being." Another one of his readers, in a review posted to Amazon.com, summarizes the wide-ranging appeal of Rabbi Celso this way: "[Secrets of Jewish Wealth Revealed] distills the economic wisdom of thousands of years into a user-friendly compendium for contemporary life."
