2026 JM in the AM Nisan Chesed Campaign Kicked Off with Chairman Steve Adelsberg

And you're listening to JM and we're kicking off our official Nissan Kesset campaign this morning. Our chairman of course is Steve Adleser. We did invite Chairman Ralph here but he had an appointment this morning was not able to make it but Steve Adlesburg is here to help me remind everybody about the upcoming holiday which begins believe it or not three weeks from tonight. Steve Adlesburg, a pleasure to welcome you back to JM in the air. >> Thank you. No timeouts left. Pesak is here. >> Unbelievable. Three weeks from tonight. Close your eyes and it's gone. >> It's already the prepar rush. Uh let's do the sports first. We're very proud of team Israel. They won a game yesterday and uh I think this means >> in the World Baseball Classic, which I'm assuming you don't follow. You're not into the World Baseball Classic. No, >> the only event you're not into everything else you're into. Anyway, it seems that they qualify now for the next one because of how well they did in this one. That's their reward. They're not going anywhere. They're not going to the quarterfinals or anything, but they get to come back to the World Baseball Classic. So, there you go. >> That's Well, that's good. Except, you know, I remember we were playing up in Sack Lake and someone said, "Yeah, I could play baseball. He's from Israel." I go, "Yeah, good. Good. Why don't you play right field?" "Well, where's rightfield again?" >> Yeah, but you know that these guys are not really from Israel. You know that. >> This is true. >> I'll never forget I I once threw out the first pitch at a team Israel game in Brooklyn. And you know how it is after you throw out the first pitch, you go say hello to the catcher and they take a picture in the whole thing. So I said to the catcher, "What city are you from?" Thank god I didn't ask him in Hebrew. So what city are you from? Boulder, Colorado. What? I thought I thought you're playing for team Israel. All right. So that's number one. Number two uh is uh congratulations to the University men's basketball team, the Mcabes. They're going to be in Atlanta this Friday afternoon at 100 p.m. in the Sweet 16 for the first time ever of the NCAA Division 3. I assume you and I will both be in Atlanta this Friday. Am I right about that? >> Oh, we could go. We definitely could go. Why don't we tell you the Sweet 16? I don't know. You start getting into Sweet 16s and next thing you know, you have mixed dancing. >> I got You got to wonder about this. >> I think you're I think you're mixing up the Sweet 16 reference, Steve. This is the sports sweet 16. Never mind. you hope St. John's goes to, you know, like that type of thing. You know, you're rooting for them in the NCAA. >> Always did. >> All right. But in division three, you have one team that you root for. >> Listen, I remember one thing, Zebie Sam. I have a good friend, Don Walker. This is his nephew. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. This is And uh I have to tell you, I tell you, Don, you didn't teach him to shoot that jump shot in the MTA gym. That I could tell you. >> He put in a lot of work, this kid, huh? He He looks like a really mench. He looked like a mench. >> Yeah, he acts like a mench. >> And And you got to say to yourself, how does that Yarmaka stay on so well? >> What's the answer? You have any You have any insight to that? >> I think that's the Desmaya. >> That's what it is. >> I thought you were going to be start a whole investigation. Anyway, Zevy Samyama does stay on during the game and he also scores a buck a bucketload or a boatload of points. >> He has his mechanics down. When he he got his mechanics, you know, it's almost automatic. >> Yeah, it's Adlesburgesque. It's for Yes. Right. The his mechanics and his skills, would you say? >> I'm more I I made my living in the paint. >> And he's shooting from the outside. Sometimes a little too outside, frankly. You see some of those shots. 30footers. >> Unbelievable. So, this Friday, good luck to YU. They're down in Atlanta. Kudos to those who really are traveling down there to spend in Atlanta. That's pretty cool. By the way, I don't know if you even know this, there's only one game in Atlanta. The way the the way the sweet 16 works in division three round the next two rounds, right, meaning the elite eight and the final four are in a city in Indiana and then the final is in another city in Indiana. This is the only game in Atlanta is they're they're going down no matter they're going to start Chavez either winners or losers down in Atlanta, Georgia. >> That's what we did two years ago out in Jersey. The game the game was also Friday afternoon, >> right? But that was the first round, wasn't it? >> It probably was the first round. Yeah. But we couldn't get back, >> right? >> We stayed for shows. >> Stayed for shows. I did that with the team in York, Pennsylvania >> uh in the uh in the Simka Halpert Donnie Cats era of YU basketball. We were I think it was 2019 or something. Anyway, that's the sports segment of our conversation. >> This is and now that that's over, we can move on to the really important stuff because today uh something we do in memory of Yankee Meer. Yankee Meyer of course was the the founder of Misskim a tremendous balet somebody you can call day or night 24 hours a day 7 days a week and he was there for the community he was there for anything and everything wellconed in the most friendly of fashions with the uh police department and with all the emergency services all he was was complete so we've named our or I should say we've um we've uh honored our uh we honor we've honored his memory by naming our campaign in his memory and the Nissan campaign every year before Pesak now that there's three weeks left of the holidays basically a reminder for me and in this case Steve as well to remind everybody out there that there are small and big things one can do to help somebody prees in fact I mentioned Ralph who's not here this morning and we miss him but his favorite thing of all the list of that we go through and we go through a whole bunch always before bes His favorite thing is one that I mentioned and he went ahead and carried it out. Providing pizza dinner or any type of dinner for a family before Peso where the parents are busy and trying to get things going uh and and switch over to Pesak and the and there many kids in the house and it's a very difficult thing to navigate to serve a regular dinner. In this in this case it would be Sunday night, Monday night and Tuesday night because the seder is Wednesday night. So those three nights are a challenge for a lot of families. So he picked a couple of families and he went ahead and called up the local pizzeria and he had them send over dinner to ease the burden on the parents and that's just a small that goes a long way. It goes a long way financially and it goes a long way just in terms of helping people. Those are the types of things that we like to emphasize before the big holiday. >> It's not like so much Rabbi friend from there once said a very powerful words. Don't do something better. Do something different. >> Nice. I like that. >> And this is different. >> This is different. >> I like the people who walk into the local dry cleaner and pick up someone's bill. They say, you know, tell me what this person owes and we're going to cover that, which is really cool. I like when people go out of their way to just leave bottles of wine hanging on the door of neighbors because they want to just let people know. Your listeners probably saw this, but there was a there was an American walking around Jerusalem taking the parking tickets off cars. >> Ah, nice. And paying them. >> And paying them. And he said, "This is what I could do. At least I could do." >> Nice. >> How long ago does that go back? Is that >> No, no, this is this last couple weeks ago. I saw I saw it. This guy had a This guy had a pile of parking tickets. He was going to take him. He's going to pay him. They take off on the old uh uh story when people used to walk by expired meters and put coins in for people. But this is much this is much bigger. >> What we used to do is that we used to pay for the toll for the guy behind us, right? >> And then the guy would try who paid my toll. The guy would try to catch up TO YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. Who are you? >> Anything to cause and chaos. >> So anything at all. We I like the idea of uh of again leaving wine for people. I like the idea. If you know somebody who's single in your neighborhood who's going to have a, you know, the Yontiff is a long afternoon. We changed the clock, this Shabas, it's, you know, Shabas is not going to be out for a while. Uh, so if you know somebody in your neighborhood who's unfortunately alone, uh, in addition to inviting them for meals, etc., you may want to buy for them a book or uh, or um, if you know a single mom out there who has kids in the house, you may want to leave a game for Yantiff that you buy for them and their family. These are small things that make such a big difference as we've determined it as we've discussed over the years. And obviously, if you're able to give somebody a gift card from a local supermarket, if you're able to pay somebody's grocery bill, that really goes a long way. And we're not at all uh avoiding the other obligations we have, the actual most obligations of providing money for matzah and wine for the upcoming holiday. So, the list is voluminous. There's a long list of things that people could do. And what do we suggest when someone has one of these nice things done for them, right? The bottle of wine, the dry cleaning, the pizza, etc. They should figure out a way, not necessarily at a large cost, to do something for someone else. >> Just pass it on. >> Care to just pass it on. >> It's like, you know, all the things that we do, the things that we do as a regular basis, you do them with a certain his loavas with an enthusiasm. My father lover show would always say, "If you're going to do someone a favor, do it with a smile. You're doing it already." And it comes off so much better. Listen, I have a I have a good friend, as I always mention, my good friend Mike P across the street. He's a candyman in jewel. But is he the candy man? >> He is the candy man. And he doesn't take he rotates his stock. He checks. >> Do his grandkids get extra portions of that candy or you haven't noticed? Well, that's a very very good question, but they probably >> I want a full-blown investigation. >> I think he I think they send the candy back. You know what I mean? They go, "This is this has been this is expired, you know." But he goes through it. It's not the stuff we want. >> He He goes through it now. He's pacing himself cuz he's got to get paid. This is a serious candyman. And he goes to I mean, this is a serious candyman. I mean, his wife Joan wishes that he would take his uh whatever seriously, but that's uh that's a different story. But then it's really doing something better or just doing something different, but doing it with a certain enthusiasm that the person who you're doing it for sees why you're doing it. >> I like people who um when they're giving somebody a ride and the person says, "Yeah, you can just drop me off over here. Drop me." And they go, "No, we're I'm going to the final destination for doortodoor service." So, I'm doing a already. I'm going to do it right. I'll give you door to door. So, they're not going to leave you at the block and you have to walk in that. >> Well, that's a good question. When you're in What age do you have to make sure they don't get into the house anymore? Over 18, over 21, or do you wait the whole time? >> I don't know. I'm telling you, my I have an opinion on this where where I will Well, will I wait though? In other words, I'm doing doortodoor service. Will I wait till I get into the house? Probably. I'll probably wait till I get into the house. No matter what age they are. >> Matter. I like that. This is your knuckle seagull. >> Yeah. I don't know about that, but I I don't know. It's sort of like uh you know, I'm paranoid that God forbid if something goes wrong, I'm the last person who saw them. You know what I mean? >> The cops are knocking on my door first. You know what I'm saying, Steve? >> I hear you. >> Anyway, Steve Adlesber is here reminding everybody about the Nissan campaign. Uh nahil.com/hassed. Obviously, our friends were on earlier. They're already on it. and anybody out there who we speak with Kenowelski next week and others. Uh Leora Tedi, we hope to get on the air. These are all great causes. Uh Kenowelski is doing sturum for people who can't afford it. Uh Leora Tedi is collecting money and you shall for families that literally don't have what they need for Pesak. Uh so these are the types of things that going to be part of our of our Nissan campaign over the next couple of weeks. And there's three weeks to go before the Pesak Seder. And here's another one that you'll appreciate. You and I have discussed this already in the past, but it's good to bring up again. Uh there are a lot of families that cannot afford kalamoid activities, especially if they have large families cuz a lot of stuff not everything is as inexpensive as a Staten Island ferry. Mr. Adlesbury, >> that was a great date. >> Say that ferry. >> That was a great date. >> What' you do for food on that date or you you tried to minimize the budget on that one also? Cuz once you've done the free ride, you're like, "What am I going to waste time? I'm going to waste money now with a full-blown deal." >> I was so excited. I was only paying a nickel for the ride. >> But now it's free. >> That back then it wasn't on. That's probably the only thing that's gone down. Think about it. >> Correct. >> Cuz at one time, I think after it was a nickel, it went to a quarter and then at some point it just became a free service. So, um, not everything is as inexpensive as a Staten Island ferry. A lot of people out there, they would love to take their kids to Six Flags. They would love to take their kids. >> Not only that, I remember my RV, Rabbi Pluchek was in our sh and I asked someone asked him, you know, you used to do a program. Are you going because are you going to pay that? He goes, "No, >> I have to be in my sh because he says, I want to be with the people who don't go away." >> Right? And sometimes you want to show them that hey it happens to be when you stay home for Pesak and you stay in in Yeshua. It's it's very relaxing. It's very Have you done it? >> Yes. Yes. >> So you've been home and you've been home, >> right? Well, >> meaning you've been home in Brooklyn and you've been home in Israel. >> It was a couple years we couldn't go away because of co >> um now as I say we're we're a little challenged to get to Israel for pes. We don't not challenge. You don't know what's going to be. >> Skies are not open. The skies are not safe. There's going to be tourists will not be going. >> So that's going to be a problem. But one thing I want to say those of you who are in Israel now and can't get a flight out or those of you who one thing do not say you're stuck in Israel. >> Not allowed to say that. >> That is we were stuck in Germany. We were stuck in Europe. We were stuck in Russia. We're not stuck in Never a Jew is never stuck in Israel. >> Correct. And I would hope people would uh use different language for that. >> Yeah. >> Um All right. So, what what do we do? What do we suggest? We suggest that um anybody who can afford to purchase tickets to Six Flags, purchase uh uh spots at a bowling alley, purchase, I don't know, gift cards to miniature golf places and other things that people like to do over. Especially if you know that your neighbor is not going to be able to afford a real activity for their kids. So when their kids go back to school and the kids all ask, "Oh, what' you do over Camo?" They'll actually, you know, be able to answer that question because, you know, it's not like the old days where you just, you know, drifted around. >> Oh, we went to the Yankee opener. >> Yeah. Well, that's but that costs money. >> Now it cost us 100%. >> Yeah, it cost money. It's uh >> but in my day we used to drift around like just play ball the entire you know there was no pressure when you got back to school. Hey what' you do where'd you go etc. >> Um >> you didn't go away pes >> no >> I mean we did we did but very rarely >> I'm talking 50 years ago so I am dating myself but in my childhood you maybe some people went to G singers right that was the >> right we did a a local hotel a couple of times and that was about it. Um the year of my sister's wedding we got the chance she got married in Israel we got the chance to spend pes in Israel was right after we make a habit of that of doing pes weddings together in Israel as you remember. >> Yes. Yes. Listen royal nothing better. I used to drink I always love playing softball. Having a softball game in royal is even that much better. >> Where? >> Well we used to get it up a little bit. We used to >> where in line? Not usual lion, but remember, you know, >> me a local park. What was the base? Whose jacket was first base? I got to I need to know I need to know the secret. >> Well, I used to have my We had We had little brothers. We made them third base. >> That's how it works. >> Oh gosh. Remember improvising for bases? >> Boy, oh boy. Garbage can covers. I'm trying to think what else we used to use. Newspapers. >> Newspapers for a base. >> The Trying to think what else we could find. That was about it. Anyway, so that's the story. Now, uh, you did you you did, thank God, have the the the the good luck of being in Israel right before all this started. >> Yes. >> The name of the city you were in up north was >> what was the name of that? >> We we nufurther north than any of us think. I mean, it's >> Yeah. And we're also in Kirakima. >> Wow. You were I go with Rav Gov. Yeah. >> Going to k where the people were just starting to come back and this was this this hurt and um >> in the last month or two they started to come back. >> They started to come back before the they was down to >> 30% had it come back. So now we don't know what's the story is so to speak >> and it's rough up north. >> It's it's basically they do what they have to do. I was in Hosaya also >> uh two weeks ago >> also near the Lebanon border. Uh it's in the Galileo. It's it's next right next to Separi. >> Oh, >> and they call it Sip Pori cuz it's a beautiful bird's eyee view. >> There you go. >> And there was Shabas there. >> Shabas there. Yeah. If you want to know a place anywhere, you got to spend chabas there >> and you learn about you learn and you see I mean you see that the the hero in Eric's role is a normal >> normal Joe who's regular guy who's just doing his job the way he's supposed to do it. And of course they're writing checks that we can't cover. >> As you always say, >> they're writing checks that we can't cover. And it's something, you know, I said I came into this I came into the country two 3 weeks ago and I go up to I'm a little bit of a wise guy. I don't know. So I go up to the to the gentleman who's at the uh the the passports >> and he said, "Uh, what's the purpose of your trip?" And I say and he looks at me, "What can I and my grandfather couldn't?" And he says to me, "What are you, a weisenheimer?" He said that >> call me a Weisenheimer. >> I don't know if I would start up with the passport, guys. I admire you. >> I I said, "Hold it. You're asking a Jew why he's coming to Israel and he doesn't give you that answer. Come on." >> That's the answer. >> That is the answer. And that's and that's what we have to thank who are holding the country for us. Everyone. >> Yeah. >> Just to be there. >> And that's why it's a challenge for those who are, you know, not able to leave right now. But >> keep things in perspect. A lot of us have to keep things in perspective right now. And that's one of the things. >> It's funny. I have my next door neighbors or me by me in uh in my office, the building next door. Good clients, great guys. They're Greek. And it's it's it's just very funny when when Greece had their problems, right? >> They called me in as an accountant to say, "Hey, what do we have to do to get the money away? We're worried." I said, and I looked I said, "You know, this is the difference. You guys are good guys, don't get me wrong, but your your country Greece is in trouble. You're pulling out. >> Yep. >> When our country gets in trouble, that's when we start it up. >> Yeah. The only rescue missions that take place to get people back to Israel, back into a war zone. Yeah. >> Exactly. Exactly. >> Uh before we break for a second, uh a word about the campaign. You want to encourage people to just think of unique ideas and help out neighbors and friends that >> look go to the person in Yeshua who no one goes to >> right >> who sits in the back maybe he's not married he's a m we call him the word mscain hey just have to say bokeer to just have to say good shabas I have the ability I walk to flappish every shabas and I didn't walk and in New New York City, people don't say good shabas to each other. It's like, you know, come on, we're New York. We don't do that here, but you say Shabbat shalom. >> I mean, you've got a lengthy walk. I would hope some people do say good job. >> They look at me back. They look at me back. Okay. And but it's, you know, it's like, you know, it's we're all in our own world. >> We're all in our own little Get out of your world and get into someone else's, you know, not their space, but what they're going through. >> Yeah. Understand their situation. And if there something you could do about it, then do it. >> Yeah. It's simple as that. And it's so and it's so simple sometimes. >> Steve Adlesberg's here. We've kicked off our Nissan campaign simply with a reminder that people need to keep others in mind over the next three weeks because the sader is 3 weeks from tonight. We'll take a break back with more coming up. You're listening to JM in the A.M. Well, we've kicked off our Nissan campaign. Steve Adlesber was kind enough to take from his schedule to be here for the kickoff as is our tradition with a very simple message and that is to to um make sure to look out for those in need in your community, in your synagogue. Speak to your rabbi. Very often your rabbi will tell you, "Hey, I want to buy a $500 gift card and give it to somebody in the shul who needs it." Your rabbi will know, right? If you went to your rabbi, he'll tell you who to give it to. >> He knows. He knows. >> He knows who to give it to. And if not, >> and that's a great idea, by the way. Slip a $500 gift card to a supermarket under someone's door. Boy, that'll change their week. >> You It's We all know when you do something from somebody that no one knows about it, it's the best feeling you have. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. You don't need a plaque. You don't even put your name in a journal. You're doing it because, hey, I can make a difference. >> Yeah. Sounds like you've been to a lot of dinners recently. If plaques and journals are the first thing on your mind, sounds like you've been sitting in the crowd at one of those 800 seat uh gettogethers, Mr. Adlesburg. >> Oh, listen. Listen, that I can handle. I think we all get we're getting calls by every every high school kid. >> Are we going to are we going to drift into this topic? You you and I agree about this, so we got to be careful. >> 100%. I was I >> let's just say that the yeshiva flatbush they're not doing that >> I could yes >> that we can say definitively >> right >> in general the yeshiva league is not doing it >> in general I could say uh the revy from beyond is not doing it either >> he doesn't authorize that >> it's like something is I said to Russa he have a very good friend um Rendel Bramberg from beta and he's older in years already and but he slept out to Los Angeles because he's got to go for the yeshiva So uh I someone a young man calls me for high school and for a solicitation. And I said I'd like to talk to your Russ Shiva as Russia Shiva calls me and he tells me he did call me and I said to him listen I don't think but gave him my spiel >> he understood it he said he g you know he punted it but he said listen I would have to go out to these places myself knowing the yeshiva and I am thinking of my of my friend who who can is is is closer to 80 and he's not easy for him to do but he's not putting this burden onto his so it's like you know it's you know maybe as I say as a you say to you say so instead of having your children call the in school you make phone calls. >> Yeah. Uh if not if everyone out there is not 100% sure what Steve's referring to it is those the practice now uh that we see among many yeshivas of having their students I'm talking about students who are below the age of 18. Yes. We're talking about teenagers and younger. Teenagers and younger who are given list and asked to call to solicit for their crowdfunding campaign. And they >> and both Steve and I are very outspoken about this. Not for it at all. And a lot of people, by the way, even some of the rabbis are not for it, but you know, it's like a runaway train at this point. >> Exactly. And they tell me in especially in the lower schools, the kids get prizes for the money raised. >> Correct. >> And the kid who can raise. >> Correct. I remember in honest school we used to sell magazine subscriptions and and you know you get prizes this kind of thing. I remember my father saying me thing you don't sell it to any relatives no clients making calls. >> Exactly. >> And it's >> look I I mean we could debate this for you know with with people who are on the other side of this issue from today till tomorrow but there there's just something very uncomfortable about it. It's as simple as that. Right. >> It's it feels very uncomfortable um when these kids call and they're and they're being taught to become fundraisers, >> right? >> Um and I'm using a very kind word for the uh for the term. Anyway, I'm not sure how we drifted into this. All I'm saying is that if you go to your rabbi of your synagogue, he will tell you who needs a $500 gift card and you can literally leave it under their door. And obviously, rabbis collect cash, rabbis collect checks, and they distribute it to the poor. Uh the list is endless. I mean, you're here today to help us kick off a campaign. We could sit here for hours and hours thinking of ideas and reminding people of what they need to do before the big holiday of Pes sending cases of wine. Inexpensive wine doesn't have to be expensive wine. But can you imagine someone get a box of 12 bottles of wine that someone may have paid, I don't know, 50, 60, 70 bucks for. I'm talking about on the low end, not fancy wine. You know what kind of difference that makes? And that wine for the sader is now taken care of. >> It's all about someone thought about me. >> Yeah. >> And that's great. And you have that opportunity >> 100%. >> And uh I just, you know, I just enjoy surprising people, >> right? What's better than that? >> When you date, when you do something against the grain, I mean, people call me for tickets and I laugh about it because normally someone says, "Oh, you got extra tickets here cuz the Yankees don't sell tickets." They call me up, "Steve, get rid of some tickets for us." >> But when I give a soldier or or someone who couldn't take his kid to a game, right? I mean our memories is when our fathers took us to our first game >> or you know give them that give them that memory and again done quietly don't have to tell anyone you don't need as I said you don't need your name brandished all over it's just something that you will know it's done will know it's done and more importantly the person will not know who it's done from >> who used your tickets recently because you told us about uh was it soldiers was it soldiers from Israel right >> so it's yeah >> they wanted what see an NBA game. >> They they love they I mean now when I was in Israel they had avida the um >> right >> for they had a good game right >> so he he was playing the allar game so all of Israel the allar game was like 3:00 in the morning >> they stayed up >> they go they all were staying up for it they go are you staying up I go I really don't stay up for allar games you know it's not my thing but it's they they were listen they're our people are proud >> very proud >> we're proud people and we and We and we know it and that's and that's we are together. >> Last Saturday night the uh the YU game started at 8:30 which means on the old time in Israel it was uh 3:30 in the morning and there were people up there. I know it cuz I spoke to some of them. There were people up watching the game. So a lot of big pride, a lot of uh I mean that's why we can understand those who stayed up for the All-Star game in Israel to see Denny. Just the Americans I don't think did it. Yeah, >> the Americans, they were up for the YU game, but not for the All-Star game the week before. Uh Steve Adlesber and I want to remind everybody that uh there's an opportunity for one last point, Steve. Um we always say you got to give locally, right? We got to give locally first. Jerusalem and Israel hakically according to many is considered local no matter where you live around the world. >> We all do feel that way. >> You know, and I know um that there are distributions in Israel. We always cite the ones that Leored is in charge of 400 families every single week and obviously Pesak they double the amount of food and matzah and wine that has to be distributed and we'll put her on the air of course in the next few days no doubt as part of our campaign. Uh if someone has an opportunity to feed people in Israel in the next 3 weeks before Pesak they should take the opportunity to do so. You know people in Israel, your RV knows people in Israel. It's the youth >> and the organizations, >> right? >> A lot of them distributed. >> And I have to say, we all know you shalam is a poor city. >> Yeah. A lot of poor people in a lot of poor people. Always has been. That's been the history of you. >> And there's no shortage of organizations that give out food. >> No question. >> No question. And it's something that could be done because you have to remember that the parents buy all the new clothes, all the new shoes. It's born before Pesak. This is it for the whole year. >> That's another thing, by the way. It doesn't have to be a gift card to a supermarket. It be a gift card to a shoe store. It can be a gift card to a suit store. >> Any of these things, folks. Hop on the bandwagon. Hop on the bandwagon in honor of our dear friend Ralph Rosenbomb.
