It's an Single Network and guess what? We are live from New Jersey with our friends at Nephes Benev who are here for the MedX event. You might recall the Medics event was originally scheduled for a couple of months ago. Things didn't work out exactly the way we thought. Uh, so the event was postponed and sure enough on parade day here in the tri-state area, specifically up Fifth Avenue in New York City, Nevish Benevich con uh converges on New Jersey and the MedEx event which is schedu which is uh which is uh which is uh which whose purpose it is to help those in the medical industry uh facilitate their aliyah. uh whether it means getting to Israel quicker, taking care of different things here instead of waiting till they get to Israel, uh finding job opportunities here that are available in Israel as opposed to waiting till they get to Israel. It's all here at MedEx. And we welcome to these airwaves. A couple of special guests who spent a lot of time, I'm proud to say, on these airwaves speaking to you, the wonderful listeners. That's of course the co-founders of Neph. We have Tony Gilbar. Tony, a pleasure to welcome you back. >> Thank you so much. As you can hear, the crowd the crowd's very enthusiastic. And our Yoshua Josh F. >> Thank you so much. >> Who looks as refreshed as ever, I might add. >> I am exhausted. >> I mean, this is what fifth. >> This is what parade day does >> to Rabbi F. It makes him refreshed. Makes >> the color >> makes him look well rested. >> Stop it. >> And here he is with you. >> Uh it's amazing. You think back to the very first Medics event. I don't know. Would you have thought that sure enough every single year you'd be doing this and that there'd be this much enthusiasm and and need for it? And I say it like that because the two of you don't like to do things that end up waning after a year or two. You don't like to do things that you know start to uh go downhill uh that start to have less capacity or I should say less of an attraction than they have in previous years. So if you went ahead and founded Medex, you probably felt that this is going to be a mainstay, something that's going to be necessary for North American Jews for a very long time. >> Would that be safe to say? >> It is. >> Yeah. And you go back to the very first one and that was your thinking, right? It >> It's been amazing. It's been an incredible ride. Um ninth year of doing medics. >> Nine years. >> Yeah. I was born nine years ago in some kind of fashion. it would never recognize itself today. And over the last few years, we've been around the world bringing medics to >> oh boy, >> different countries around the globe. And to come back after globe trotting and coming back to New Jersey where it was created and having the largest attendance of a medics ever um just two hours ago, we had 527 people, medical professionals register for today. Well, by the end of the day, we'll see hopefully most of those people show up. And it's just staggering. The enthusiasm, the energy, the interest is just absolutely inspiring. And uh and every year our team is remarkable. And every year they think of other ways to make it better and to improve and to enhance and to advance. And uh it's just super just so proud of the staff, so proud of of uh of what we created, of seeing how it's changing lives. We're very very um we feel very rewarded this day. The um other location, boy, am I glad you brought that up because I was ready to keep concentrating on what's happening here in the Garden State, but boy am I glad you brought up that you've been traveling and taking this show on the road literally. I know it's on the road now, but you get my point. Um, where have you been? Tell me. Tell what's the list. What's a list of places where medic has had an impact? >> We just came from France, from Paris, and it was a huge success. Not because we did something great, but the doctors who came were highly professional and very anxious to get home to Israel. So, that was a clear unbelievable experience for all of us. Paris in Paris and London >> London and >> Buenosar is in Argentina. Our team went to Brazil and Ukraine >> and Kiev and Canada, Australia, >> South Africa, >> South. >> So we are not the only continent that has Jewish doctors. >> You It's It's remarkable. >> Who knew? Who knew? Like you know >> there are Jewish mothers everywhere encouraging their children to get into this >> medic. No, but it's an empirical fact. >> Look, it's really amazing because you're bringing Jews from all over the world who are extremely professional. These are real doctors that the moment they land, the moment they step foot in the country, they're saving people's lives, >> right? And it wasn't always like that though because in order to get to the point where you were allowed to start, >> you waited a year, you were changing bed pants. I don't care if you were a surgeon, a brain surgeon, you were changing bed pants. That was the rules. That was the laws. Very no longer. >> Yes. Very, very graphic for a Sunday afternoon. >> Okay. All right. Sorry. Okay. >> So, who have you brought here? This is essentially Israel's um Ministry of Health. Like, who who's here that that now we don't have to wait a year. Now, you come to New Jersey, get it all done here. >> There are two stops. There are two stops at a at a conventional medics. One of them is the licensing. You have uh the Ministry of Health officials here to look at your physical diplomas. They are notorized. They are reviewed. They are approved. The special >> faximiles are not allowed. >> The special got to be the real deal. Some people had to take them off the wall literally with suitcases with diplomas. You walk out of that room, >> you have a license. The only thing you're missing is your tudas hoot when you land. What used to take a year takes a few hours. you land finish and and we we just had this a group of Israelis um a mission that came to look at this and we're bringing them around some officials quasi governmental officials and they're walking around they're like we don't understand so how long what's the we're like today they're done today they're going to leave today with their license they just have to get off the plane with their two hoots and that's it and then then you go to the other room and they're interviewing with hospitals and clinics and it's just incredible Uh we there was a uh a session with one of the ministers and several uh Israeli reporters and the question was how long does it take? And one of the people from the ministry side said about a week uh to get it all done what what takes a week. They just couldn't understand that it took a week. Somebody said well the flight takes 13 hours. >> That's part of your week right there. It's it's such a winwin and I think that's the beauty of today. It's a win obviously for the Ole that you can actualize their dream and they can hit the ground running and it is a win for the state of Israel. We opened the doors today at two something. 40 minutes after we opened the doors one of the kupot one of the medical clinics came over to me giddy and they said I signed 15 doctors in the last 42 minutes. It's unheard of. It's crazy. And for them, you just changed Israeli communities. 15 doctors in Israeli communities. And for these 15 people, you made their ali possible. Infusible. >> Uh, Rabbi Yoshua, Josh Fast, Tony Galbar with us. We're at medics. So, I'm trying to process this. I mean, people knew about this three, four years ago in the medical field, and yet you're doing record-breaking numbers today. Like, is it just like a snowball effect like more and more people like just more and more people find out about it? More and more people like is that it? I think there's a conveyor belt of Zionist expression. I think medical schools are going to graduate kids with students, >> right? But why is year 9 so much more popular than year five? >> I think the climate is pulling more individuals to be aliyah conscious to really contemplate and consider whether or not this is a viable opportunity for them. And we're seeing that we're seeing that in our application numbers. We're seeing that in increased aliyah. And therefore, it's going to affect every demographic in every single profession. >> Any idea? They usually say that uh let's say from the states people are running to something opportunity to Zionism to homeland to opportunity to help people and to from other countries like Paris and whatever you're running away. >> You have to say it. If you don't say it, you're you're fooling yourself. I never used to say that. But now I have to say it because that's the truth. And one of the treats I think for me, I'm probably you can correct me what >> Tony when we go to countries around the world and we're meeting some fascinating, inspiring communities and congregations. It's been >> Oh, yes. >> It's such a treat for us. Never in a million years do we ever think that we' be going and being hosted by communities and chief rabbis of different different countries and we pinch ourselves. We're like, what are we doing here? But we also have to be conscious and sensitive to the cultural nuances of each of the communities. And some of the wording that we say is not applicable or appropriate in those communities. When we're talking about you're not running from, you're running to. It's not really true in other countries. So we're adapting to each of the cultures, to each of the motivations, the push and pull of each of the dynamics in each of the countries. >> Can I a couple of things first? Anyway, and and by the way, because I not I'm just adding you feel a different sense >> of urgency or not urgency from different places that you go. >> You want to rank it for us or not? >> No, no, but you're but just uh to add to that point, we've been to France three times. >> Okay. >> I knew you were going to say this. Go. No, go ahead. >> Meeting their number one at this. >> No, it's fascinating. From year to year or from 8 months to 8 months, it changes. Three years ago when we were there from first time first time that we did a medics in Paris um you would have 20 30% of the people talked about anti-semitism the other 70% said ah it's a viable option I want to give contribute to the Israeli society second year >> 6040 >> last we were just there a month ago I don't know when we were there just a month ago it was it was it was scary it was almost 100% >> of the vibe >> of what they were communicating of the the undercurrent narrative of their aliyah and it's and it was frightening for us, >> right? >> And we're going to London in uh in a little I mean some months from now and and you'll see it'll be the same type of thing. >> All right. Couple of things. First of all, who's doing all your translating? I mean London you don't need a translator, but in Ukraine I assume you do, right? >> So we have uh we have a multinational team. >> Really? >> Yeah. In in Jerusalem, we opened up our a separate office of just international medical aliyah program. So we have a full spectrum of languages. So they all take the material and they translate it per country per regulations. So we have on each each team sometimes we have three four people for Russia, Ukraine. We have three people for SP different countries. It's a huge team. It's a big team. But when Tony and I go we're usually given security and given a translator. So, and that that allows us to communicate to physicians, allows us to communicate to press. >> And your office in Israel has in French also, not just >> I have all all the languages that we deal with around the world. We have on staff. >> It's similar to the lone soldier program. >> Mhm. >> Very similar. Um, soldiers from 70 countries making aliyah. We have 70 different languages we're speaking, you know. Yeah. >> Same type same type of thing. >> All right. Some investigative journalism. Uh, don't take don't take offense to this. >> Okay, go. >> This was founded for North American Olm >> to the point where circumstances almost geared this specifically to North American. What do I mean? I mean that this effort to go to other countries has been tried in the past and you backed away from it. Would that be an accurate way of portraying it or not? >> Oh, look at you. I tell you it's invest investigative journalism. Don't be insulted. I'm just curious. It's all a curiosity. >> So, you went ahead and tried to do the expansion and it and it really funneled back to concentration on North America. >> Stop. Stop this right now. >> Really? I'm under the wrong impression. >> Rabbi Sax, the late Rabbi Saxal, he surprised us. We we visited London >> um as an exploratory trip, >> right? And then two days later after the trip happened and I met with him, it was a run full front page cover page of the Jerusalem Post. Rabbi Sax welcomes Zesh Ben's expansion in the UK. It was news to us. >> It was news to us. But at that point, >> I came I didn't notice till today. >> Yeah. But at that point, the chief rabbi announces it. Of course, >> you you can't back out. Of course. >> So for for a few years, we had a team and we we functioned flights in the UK and flights and everything and everything. And then the government was like, well, I don't this was not part of our strategic arrangement and agreement and could you please scale it back and because we're functioning in in in the UK. So we're like, okay, we have enough work to do in America. So it wasn't that we experimented and retracted, it was surprise and settled down. So that's what happened in the UK. The medex is an incredible concept because the government of Israel has a crisis, a need, and they came to us and said, "You have a winning model. Can you please duplicate this around the world so you can pedal a solution to state of Israel?" Today, just between us and your listeners, we have two other ministries here that are looking at the medics model to copy it for other industries in Israel. And that will probably be an announcement in the next few months from now. But you're going to look around here and you're going to see the Ministry of Blank and the Ministry of Blank because they right now are looking at this model and saying let's do this around the world as well cuz it's a working successful model. >> Amazing. An absolutely great story. I love this stuff. Uh now should I start guessing? I'll start guessing. It's not it's not the legal industry. Plenty of lawyers in Israel. There's no way you're looking for lawyers in >> What are you doing? It's not install radio host radio. >> It's not inst It's not installators. >> No, it's not installators. There are plenty of those in Israel, right? >> Good. Good. Good. That one. >> I love that. Two points for a single. >> So now I have to start thinking. I have something to my ride home. I have something to my ride home. I'm going to think which industries are here just to try to duplicate what you've done with medics >> or which no has a shortage. Where is there a shortage? >> Where is there need? Where is there need >> and outside of medicine? You're saying there is a shortage and there is a need. I just have to pinpoint it. >> Yes. >> All right. You'll give me a couple days on this one. >> I'll tell you on one second. >> We're in Thank you. >> investigative journalism, which you're very good. >> Yes. We just kicked it. We just kicked off our investigative journalism department. This is where it all you were here for the historical moment where it all started. Tony Galbarta Fest. at medex here in the state of New Jersey and hundreds as you heard are going to leave here with the qualifications with the actual degrees or licenses more accurately licensed to actually practice medicine in Israel which is just remarkable frankly and um and you know how you know how God works. He works in mysterious ways. This event was supposed to be in March. Do you think it's better attended because it's today or that's irrelevant? >> I think we got more numbers. >> Wow. >> I think we had more traction. >> He's the ultimate producer. >> More traction. we have more marketing time um and the quiet the global quiet whether or not it's temporary or not allowed more hospitals to attend and more Israeli delegates to attend because of the parade. So I I'm I'm quite happy with with the turnout and with um with the way the way the turn the day is turning out to be. >> How does the summer look because what what what year are we in now? Excuse me for uh conjecturing on the 24 25 26 >> 20 >> 02 to 26 >> 2002 2002 is the first >> to 24 year 24 years later. >> You know better than I do. >> 24 years later. >> You should have known the Rabbi Sn. >> I should have known that. I hope Romy's going to send me a recording of you telling this story four years ago. >> I'm sure I did multiple times. Anyway, >> that's the problem with having an archivist. Um all right. So, how does the summer look? Cuz now it's, you know, now it's the very end of May. It looks great. >> The beginning of June looks great. >> We We like to know if people actually still want to move to Israel. And I remind both of you, >> there is an economic challenge that we have not had in a long time. >> Oh yes. Check out >> as somebody complained to me last week who lives in Israel and earns an American salary, they are earning 25% less. >> Yes. >> Than they used to. And isn't it amazing by the way we always think about hey world circumstances and circumstances in this country may encourage people to move to Israel and then God goes ahead and creates a situation where the shekele is 280 and now again that that >> it's hardening that heart of exactly otherwise there's no free choice. >> It's unbelievable. It is unbelievable. So has this been an issue or not? >> It's an issue being raised by some. >> Wow. It is an issue that's raised by raised by everybody by everyone by all organizations by universities organizations by businesses everyone in Israel. >> All the uh high-tech industries they're doing their revenue their revenue is made in the US or outside of Israel. That's where the revenue is the most if not one of the most important sectors in Israel. >> It's affecting everyone. >> Sure. Wow. >> So now what's it going to do to summer aliage? Simply going to be less than it would have been. Is that >> No. No. It's uh we have a very good summer. Please God, people are not backing out. We actually have an increase. But it's a it's a challenge. It's a global challenge. >> And I wonder, and I don't even know, I mean, you guys have every number and every statistic, so it wouldn't shock me if you knew this, but when the typical nephesh o would move to Israel, how many of them, what percentage of them actually went into a into a uh house or a home, an apartment that they bought? It must be very low. Am I right? They start renting. >> Yeah, we tell people. Now is that rent. It's better to rent in the beginning because you'll know if >> no matter what the circumstances that neighborhood's for you, you know, spend a year, two years, are the kids in the right schools and you're getting the right No, it's >> so that number is not going to be anything. >> I say to families all the time because they get very stressed out. >> I was like, you're taking a dart and you're throwing it 6,000 miles away, right? >> Just hit the map and then once you get there, you can pick a a community that's more >> Yeah. You've been very into this. You've been very into taking everything one step at a time. % >> slowly, >> methodically. >> Stay calm, strategically. >> Don't panic. >> Don't stress. There's no reason to stress. >> No reason to stress. It's >> all good. >> Oh boy. Oh boy. So, there you have it. The shekel boy, I'll tell you. And as you said, Tony, Jewish organizations or all organizations because they're basically all Jewish in Israel. >> Fun. >> No, look, if you're raising money and everyone's got to step up their efforts and you budget, you have to go back and get some more money. That's it. 25% more >> affects Navish is expect affects all the organizations >> by the way has it strengthened against every currency around the world or just uh just the dollar euro same thing pound same thing all the stuff same thing >> yeah for sure >> what it have in Australia what's this a dollar right Australian dollar right >> all the same wow we're at Medex here in New Jersey as we talk about the challenges of aliad it really is remarkable that not to harp on it But it really is remarkable that as time goes by, you think there's certain things you're never going to have to worry about, she basically has been the same for God knows how long and then this, you know, whatever you want to call it, a wrench or, you know, some new thing happens that has to be dealt with. >> Hashem, as you said, deals in, you know, good friend of mine said, you know, God gives walnuts to people with no teeth, you know. So, bottom line, you got to you got to figure out how to break the walnut without your teeth. I'd love to know which business meeting he used that in. I >> just want you to know I hear it once a week from Tony. >> It's a bumper sticker on my car. >> There's got to be a story of something some major that he was dealing with that he used that with. There has to be. I'm telling you right now. Are we Are we overtime or we're Okay. >> Do whatever you want >> cuz we're live right now. >> It's your corner. >> And this is Yeah, this is my corner of medics. >> Let's welcome Yell Catsman. Y Catsman to the show. >> Thank you, Yael. I'll tell you, you got a hardworking staff. got the the the hardest working staff. You got a lot of people. Best of the best. >> You have a lot of people that put in a lot of extra hours. >> Wait a second. We have no hours. >> I also have to say something about you. >> About me? >> Yes. H what? How many years have you been doing this with? >> Tell Tony to save this for the big aliyah party. We're definitely having an aliyah party. >> Big als. >> No, but it's finally on the market. Thank god. Okay. >> But nobody wants to buy a big apartment in Manhattan. Who does? Exactly. Because who who that lives in Manhattan has six kids. >> Blame it on that. But we had a major development. >> Uhoh. >> Uh-oh. >> Okay. >> Now he's got >> you've been given a secret message. >> But here's here's the new development which you're going to find fascinating. >> Hit me. >> The new development is that whenever people ask about our, you know, transition to whatever the next stage of life is, we always say we're going to be renting on both sides of the world. That's been the party line, right? We're going to rent on both sides. Well, we have family here, children and grandchildren. We have family there, children and grandchildren. We're going to rent on both sides. Well, that has been the party line. So, Stacy Seagull last Tuesday night was honored by the United Jewish Teachers >> because she's 17 days away from retirement. Thank God. >> So, so she gets up and with a prepared speech and says, "Now that we are moving to Israel." And I'm like, "Wait a second." I thought the line was now that we're going to be splitting our time between the two, but no, she publicly said that we're actually And I'll tell you something. I think she's sort of like, you know, this game is ridiculous. Let's just go a band-aid. >> Exactly. Let's just go and then we'll we'll visit at the appropriate times and see family, etc., etc. >> So, enough of our smoozing really made an impact. >> Can you imagine? >> That's it. You made my day. >> That's I'm telling I we we have to press her on this one cuz I don't know. It was prepared remarks and this is the direction she went in and it caught all of us by surprise. But we'll see what happens. >> The proof will be in the pudding or by fast. You know when >> when we actually sell that apartment and we start this both sides of the world thing. Then we'll see how it works. Are we really going to have an established place on both sides of the globe? >> Well, you have a lift that I can put stuff >> something you can't relate to. You never had a place on both sides of the world. You were either living in the United States or you were living in Israel. >> Yes. >> That would be accurate, right? >> Mhm. Will it be that way for us or will it be complete independence from the United States of America and move on and start thinking about the time when my grandparents arrived in the US in the 1930s with my father and now almost 100 years later we're going to reverse that trend and go back to the Holy Land. >> Wow. >> I mean, I know medics is dramatic, but it was never this dramatic. >> That was drama. Two scoops of drama. Anyway, so that's I'm speechless. >> That's the story with that. All right, so let's finish the summer conversation. So you say it's going to be a bigger and better than ever. Although I don't know if you said that >> it's going to be a strong strong summer. >> Strong summer and because we concentrating a lot >> at least at least as good as last year's banner year, >> right? >> Last year was a phenomenal summer. We're looking at the same numbers a little bit more. >> And um because we're concentrating obviously today on the medical field. >> Mhm. So that's why I'm, you know, trying to gear this a little bit toward the, you know, what's happening in general. Um, but what's the what's the interest? Because aside from those who are actually moving, you always have statistics of those who've started their application, who've inquired, etc. Is it >> more across the board? There's no there's no striking outlier demographic. It's just more of the same spread. states across the country same age you know same age distribution but uh you have people people who are voicing within their essays where it used to be I want to be part of history I don't want to be in the bleachers I want to build my family and have Jewish you know quality of life not a standard of living but a quality of life and now you're hearing people saying something's happening and uh it's It's adding another element, another puzzle piece to to that decision-making process. >> Oh, now I have so much to say about this. I don't even know if Tony would agree with me. >> The impression here is that the prime minister sort of overplayed his hand a little bit in terms of the >> Are you thinking you're talking politics? >> Yeah, I know. It's terrible with >> It's terrible. But you e even Tony who's so close with with all the big shots, he had to have been shocked when the prime minister got on national television here in the United States and said it's time to stop American aid and we have to start weaning oursel off of American aid. I mean the fact that he, you know, had this epiphany that that, you know, he's got to at least make a public comment to, you know, let people know that he's thinking about it. >> You really think that that Mr. was going to respond to. >> Yeah, I know you're not going to comment on it, but I but I but when you say Avira, when you say people are feeling a certain atmosphere, it's not just anti-semitism or people who are big positions who are going out of their way to support the quote unquote other side. It's also a a um uh an attitude now toward the Israeli government that we haven't seen in the past. And that's why I'm saying, I'm not making you comment. That's why I'm saying when he gets on national television and makes a statement like that, it's hard to >> it's hard not to conclude that he's also feeling a certain tension >> that's going on. >> I will not comment on his opinions and what he says. I won't comment on that at all. >> But I for educational purposes to let your audience knows and hopefully they do know already. But um nearly 100% of the funds that Israel gets, military assistance is gets in dollars is spent and must be spent to the US. >> Correct. >> So it's actually a kind of a stimulus package correct for the US military industry from whatever to whatever. But the cooperation is amazing. So there's more to than just we're going to stop the aid and it's correct. There's a lot going on here and this is nothing that we should comment about. >> Correct. And I don't know. Okay. I'm not expecting I have to stop the whole thing. >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Because but I have such an important point to make but I can't make it. >> We'll talk about over breakfast. >> You can make your point. Doesn't mean we have to answer. >> No, I don't expect you to. I'm just saying that you know. >> I said I would. >> You're a brave managel. The enemy does not uh The enemy used to acknowledge what Tony just said. The enemy used to acknowledge that there was a a tremendous benefit to the United States about all of this and they no longer acknowledge it. I think it's a different uh a different atmosphere than it used to be. Uh but we're not going to comment about any of that. We're going to simply tell everybody that we're at Medics and we're broadcasting live. We're having a very interesting conversation with two amazing friends who have been uh who have been with an organization actually founded an organization back in 2002 and that now is doing some spect even more spectacular things including in the medical field. Then final question, of course, every time you two come on, no matter when, there's always something new to discuss, there's always a new innovation, a new project, a new angle, um an expanded effort, >> anything you want to re and usually and usually you'll preface your remarks by saying, well, I can't give you full details now, but you know, so now Tony, >> anything else, >> because there's always There's something coming by way. >> Are there multiple >> That's a legitimate answer. Multiple projects. >> They're in the oven. >> They're baking big. >> Yeah. >> International projects that we're working on. >> Wow. A lot of people would look back at the two of you and say, "Come on, you've already done big big big. There's big big big coming." I mean, come on. >> It's unbelievable. >> We get bored easily. >> That's the problem with the two of you. That may be the essence of the problem. I'll tell you that's not the problem. We don't get bored. But we we we we got and that's smart. We were educated over the last 20 years and we find that there's of a need and we can help fix that need then we do it. >> Yeah. >> That's what we do >> and you keep finding. But you should just know that for every need that we find and that we filter and vet, >> there are multiple needs that come to our desk that we do not feel that we're the appropriate address. >> Wow. and we vet it and we discuss it and see whether or not we can finance it, whether or not we have the appropriate staffing or mindset or bandwidth and we say no and we turn people down and it's very hard to say that must be very flattering to be the girl you know >> as to go to the dance. >> Exactly. >> But they because of all that boy because they see that everything you touch succeeds. That's the whole No, but we have some exciting projects. Look, what it is is if you can identify a problem and then you can identify the solution to that problem, then you go ahead and do it. If if it's if it's in your wheelhouse >> and quantifiably, >> yeah. Um there are a lot of problems. There's always a lot of issues, a lot of need, but we can't go and say we're experts in all those things. We use the model that we have and that we've built over all these years and the connections and the friends and the partnerships and we say look this is interesting let's investigate let's look at it let's discuss it let's figure it out and it takes a long time and then we say okay we'll we'll put our toe in the water and then before we uh jump in all together >> yeah boy someone once said to me in the world of business think I said give me a piece of business advice they said you'll appreciate this they said think I think I once mentioned this to you they think one million times before adding one expense to your company.
