For your loved ones in Eretz Yisrael OR anyone planning Aliyah: Does a sting of dread run through you at the very thought of banking bureaucracy, investing, or loans? For Anglo immigrants in Israel, the challenge feels compounded by a different set of rules from our native country as well as system which operates (mostly) in Hebrew.

Financial planner, public speaker and author Rifka Lebowitz is the featured guest on this week’s episode of “613 Books” podcast, and she is dedicated to helping English speakers understand their finances, feel comfortable with their money, and succeed financially in Israel.

Rifka is the author of “Smarter Israeli Banking” which is probably the ultimate insider’s guide for Anglos about banking in Israel; from opening an account to closing one, and everything in between.

BREAKING NEWS: Rifka’s THIRD Annual Living Financial Smarter in Israel conference (LFSII) is scheduled for June 15, 2025 so SAVE THE DATE if you or someone you know will be in Eretz Yisrael in June 2025. Get updates from Rifka on her social media and website. Her contact info is in the Show Notes for this episode.
