Bless Israel. Invest Wisely. The Economic Impact of Supporting Israel. Interview with Evan Liberman
In our latest conversation, Jeff speaks with Evan Lieberman, the founder and CEO of Wise Money Israel, about the profound economic impact of supporting Israel from a faithful investor's perspective. Evan highlights the various ways believers can support Israel, from prayer to financial contributions, and introduces the idea of a two-way street in financial stewardship. He explains, "I can do GOOD while doing WELL." This concept suggests that investing in Israel not only blesses the nation but can also yield returns for investors. Evan elaborates on Israel's unique position in the global market, pointing out that, despite its size, Israel has a robust and innovative economy. He notes that the Israeli shekel has strengthened significantly against other currencies, stating, "The shekel has appreciated against the US dollar by about 67% over the last 24 years." He also emphasizes the thriving technology sector in Israel, where one in eight employees works in tech, contributing to the nation's reputation as the "startup nation." Evan encourages listeners to view their investments as a means of blessing Israel while also fulfilling their financial goals. He reminds us of the biblical call to be wise stewards of our resources, stating, "We are stewards of our time, our money, and other resources that we have." This insightful discussion is challenges all of us as Bible-believers to support Israel and consider how our financial decisions can align with biblical values. Evan Liberman is the Founder and CEO of Wise Money Israel, the only licensed wealth management firm in Israel that is Jewish believer-owned and staffed.
