As far as I'm concerned, was one of the best conversations we have ever had on JM and the AM. Rabbi Nakman Seltzer, a pleasure to welcome you back to JM in the AM. >> Thank you so much, N. What a pleasure to be back with you online. >> I thank you for that. >> I wish we were back in the studio. >> Yeah, that would be great. >> I'm telling you, we're going to do it again. Please, God. And those encounters with you are simply remarkable and wonderful. The last time I saw you, I'm sure you recall, was at the Americas Dafomi Shabaton. We we are still uh we're still formulating our opinion of the entire movement, but my gosh, you have the opportunity on a daily basis to participate in an actual positive movement in Clawus, which must be an amazing feeling. Hashem has sent me in my life to to be in in a in a position in in a founding position in a in a number of places and one of them is uh is is this shar like you know he's a good friend of mine. I was actually on Zoom with him right before I called you cuz we're we're already start to interview for the book we're doing for about MDY and it's going to be one of those crazy crazy books. So stay tuned. put on your seatelt. But you know, Hashem put me in in this shoe and he comes into my shoe. He sits down on my bench and we become good friends and everything he's doing, he's like, you know, call me up. Could you please join me? Could you come to my sh could be part of my things, you know, and we become very, very close. And uh so yeah, I sit right next to him and share and seeing you at, you know, every day. I said that's my, you know, I'm right next to him in the share from the beginning. Yeah, we we call we call we we we call your seat row a seat one. That's what we call your seat. >> That's right. I got sitting in first class over there. It's a co-pilot. And I'll tell you, sitting seeing you at the Shabaton, that was great. And especially when you introduced me to the people at your table and you're like, "This is Freda and Yogi." And I went crazy because that just I'm like Freda and Yogi. Freda and Yogi. me that yogi from country from the I couldn't believe it. I was like King Zag, you know, to the New Jersey fight. >> That was an unbelievable exchange. My wife says that the encounter we had at the table with you was one of the most fun parts of the entire weekend. It was really and it was a fabulous Shabbaton and weekend. Nakman Seltzer is with us live via telephone. So a lot of people and I am sorry to admit it on the air because people expect more from me. A lot of people don't even have not even heard of the zeros shimon until you have gone ahead and brought the zeros shimshon to our attention to the point where you can come up with something for every single day of the year to quote from the zeros shimon. So if you don't mind Rabbi Saltzer a little bit of history and a little bit of uh context so we can understand who this was and the contribution to Jewish life. >> Okay. So the conte it's another amazing story. You know, I don't have to tell you. You know, you know how Hashem Hashem introduces you to things in your life that you're supposed to be part of. And you know, you had no idea that was coming and suddenly you're part of another movement and you're and he he makes you ache are ach when when Hashem sends you a a mission, your job is to accept the mission. That's your job. And um so that's what happened over here with in 2007 I was dinging Friday night in Raish and after davening a a person I knew an English guy a very English name called Nigel I always say Nigel how anyway so Nigel comes over to me it's such an English name anyway so Nigel how are you so Nigel comes over me I got to tell you a story he tells me a story about his father-in-law who lives was in Manchester, >> right? and how he wasn't well and uh he was he went to this farm store one day and uh the guy who works in this far tells him listen there's a safer called the zeros and the author of the safer which came out 250 years ago in Italy he was a rob in Italy of four cities in Italy and he lived in a city called Rio Ailio which is not far from Milan >> but he was also the rob of four three other cities And he was like the of the and uh and this this rabbi he wrote a s called the idea of the safe is that he had one son who passed away when he was alive and that he didn't have any children because his one son passed away. He wrote a s called and another s called and he wrote an introduction if you learn my saber I promise you you'll have children around your table like olive shoots and and and good health like mish all these braas so the person in the store tells him listen read the safer learn the safer and it's a sigula for everything in life and this person bought the safy learned the safer and had her sha and so he told me this story about his father-in-law and I wrote this story. Now of course a Jewish person hears a story like this about a sigula they go crazy everybody wants where do I get the s where do I get the savor around the whole world and I remember back then this in 2007 Hamadia was the number one publication on chabas right >> today there's a lot of newspapers magazines but then it was just starting >> right >> was the place now I write for and today then I used to write >> so everyone around the world is reaching out to me how do I get to safer the Thomas was out of print. You couldn't find it. If you if you went looking for it, you'd maybe find one dusty copy in an attic somewhere in some store in Williamsburg. It was out of print. I when I opened the safer, they gave me a copy of the safer. There was the number the phone number in the fly leaf of the safer has six digits. That's how old it was. >> Wow. >> A six-digit number. And and then the kids I kept on telling people, I don't know what to tell you. The safer is out of print. Okay. And that's that's how it started. Um a bunch a number of years later, 2011. I'm in I'm in America and this person calls me. Somehow he tracks me down. His name is Rabbi Byam Pashquez. He lives in Williamsburg. He tells me, "Listen, I run an organization for people who have trouble having children and me and my partner in Israel. And we've ended up, we heard about the Zarim. We got into the zarim. We heard about the sagula. We ended up reprinting the safer made available to the public. Beautiful new font, beautiful new cover. Everything's beautiful and a lot of people have learned the safer and there there's a lot of stories of people who saw Yeshua. So would you be willing to write a follow-up article about all these stories? I said, "Sure." So I I sit down with him and I go a good 18th Avenue in Bora Park and he tells me a bunch of stories. I write the story, write the article, and it comes out in Ronaldo. Before you know it, the whole world is wants the safer, but now it's available. So, people are buying the safer, people are learning the safer crazy stories. More and more people are doing it. >> Just remind me just just remind me what year was this? >> This is the the when I wrote this follow-up piece was 2011. >> Okay. Then 2013 again he cated me could you write another follow-up piece and every time I wrote a follow-up piece people went crazy they went to buy the safer and the and there was more stories and every time there was really it's an amazing thing the amount of stories there are now that doesn't mean every single person who learns the safer sees Yeshua but many many people do >> so after this the third article and his partner in Israel bish Zberg comes over to meet me in he knows by heart and they're like listen could you please write an English version of the safer that means take we'll take the pieces knows it's a very hard safer to learn inside but I'm going to take out the the pieces that are easier to understand I'll send them to you you'll translate them we'll do a few pieces of every par and that way we'll introduce uce the safer to the English speaking public who aren't necessarily equipped to learn a very high level safer from inside the safer. It's a very hard cafer, >> right? >> He does like I'll give you an example like I compare it to versus >> right >> it's very hard to learn. It's huge. So wrote these huge pieces. It's not it's not a safer that's easy to learn by size pieces. You can learn it the same thing. These are huge pieces. You have to know how to do it. He takes them out. So I said I can't do it. I told him I'm sorry. It's too too big of a project to write a for the wholeish every para three or four pieces. It's not available in English. I have to translate it. I it's it's too big for me. All right. Again, a few minutes a few months later, they try again and I try again. They try again and finally I folded. I said, "Okay, all right." So I thought of working out this huge project and I'm translating and I'm writing and I ended up writing the and again remember it's a there are many so we don't know if it's going to be successful. So I thought to myself what am I going to do? How am I going to make sure it's successful? There's there's no way to make sure. But maybe if I put stories in every para I give a story with the para >> then that's to help people cover the stories whatever they come for the I don't know my editor says she likes to say Mr. Zon says they come for the school and they >> nice. Yeah. So I so we I put out this safer. It's over 700 pages. I think the first one was over very big safer the whole Tyro with stories and also stories about people who saw Yeshua's and the safer comes out and it becomes a huge huge hit. Mom it's a huge hit and it's crazy. It's like a Today, this day for this, the first copy has sold I don't know between 25 and 30,000 as far the first one, volume one. So then I'll tell you a funny story. It was a funny story. This guy, this guy emails me after the safe came out and he says to me, "Why'd you put your sto these stories and these stories aren't good?" He said to me, I was like, "What are you talking about? People love my stories. What are you talking about?" "Yeah, they're not true." He said he said, "They're not true." I said, "What what are you talking about?" He says, he says, "If you can prove to me that these stories are true, I'll pay for your next book." >> Believe me, I'm I'm I'm sitting here with baited breath. Go ahead. >> I said to the guy, "Get out your checkbook." I told him, "But why are you saying this? I don't understand. I keep on Something's bothering this guy. I don't understand what's bothering him." And I keep on telling him. He goes, "You think I don't know what? You think I'm just a regular guy? You think I'm just a boss?" He tells you I'm a big I he tell me how great he is. I said to him, I'm sure you're not just a Bos would never talk to me this way. So he he got all all upset and I said to him, listen, something's bothering you. What is it? What is bothering you? It's not my stories. What is the what is bothering you? So he says to me finally, he goes, you know, why' you put stories in it? I said, "Oh, finally I hear a good a good horror." Right. >> I hear that. Good question. The answer is very simple. I wanted to make sure people buy the safer, right? >> That's why he said, "Oh, I hear I now I understand." Okay. Anyways, so that was one very interesting conversation to have. But meanwhile, 20,000 people were buying the safer. So, we did we started doing another one. We decided to do another one. We did volume two on the whole Toyra again the same format. two, three, four, five pieces of every a story and stories of how people saw Yeshua and again a huge hit. So between the two I All right. It's amazing. And then we did because he has a so I did a safer of his with all and also a lot of pieces in the toyra that have to do with women in so that's as candlesticks on the cover and then I did one and so really we covered a lot of zeros but we had an idea to do which is to do on every single day of every single you have a piece that mean because so I'll tell you what my motivation is. So I'm in America a few like last year >> to do a I do interviews for the book about this Syrian rabbi >> and the Syrian lady she calls my she called my phone calls my wife so my wife thought she wants me to interview her about and she didn't know what we were talking about my wife said why are you calling so she said because I started between 20 and 30 shirim for ladies in the Syrian community in Zer in your safer. >> Wow. >> And we have all these teachers teaching these ladies between each year as they teach 10 and 30 ladies and there's between 20 and 30 in deal and in Brooklyn and we want we're doing a big event in deal in the summer. We want to come speak at the big event for his safer. So I didn't even know about this. I didn't even know that there's there's all these hurim and then someone else told me that they have a WhatsApp group that goes out every day to 2,000 women in Zeridian every single day. I didn't even know that this is such a huge thing. I didn't know. Somebody told me I said all right the teachers need more material. We're going to do it's going to be two volumes at and each is about 500 600 pages every single piece. So every morning you know if you enter the you open up your you learn a piece you have a coffee you learn a piece of either by yourself with and it's high level and thousands of families learn at the table every week and it's really quality tora and it's it has amazing messages and he quotes from all over from and from and it's very interesting and eclectic and just beautiful beautiful Tory and many many Many people have told me that they've seen Yeshua and again they come I tell them you're not doing it for the Yeshua. >> I get it. >> You're doing it to bring to give this analyzer is with us. It's called Zera Shimonomi the safer the stories the schooler right now the brand new volume is vayikra by midbar and the shabas is shabas kazak vikra is next week uh a fascinating selection from safer zera shimon for every day of the year it's over 600 pages you get an opportunity right now to go to artscroll.com order it and of course use promo code radio go to artscroll.com order it and make sure to use promo code radio zeros shimon yomi okay so now I asked you 40 interview uh to be focused on paras and the reason I said it is because we're obviously not up to vayra yet that's going to be next week uh so most people are focused still on safer schmos and obviously in safer schmos we have some dramatic episodes and in paran there are references and and obviously retelling of major episodes in Jewish history including of course the giving of the sados discussion about uh about mishbatim talking about um uh the anha kavote uh etc etc. So I I figured if I asked you to open up to Vas Khan, you would choose one of these pieces to share with us to give us a good example of the approach of the Zeras Shimstone and some of the inspiring words that he gives us. >> Okay. Do you want me to pick one right now out of the seven of uh >> Yeah, if you don't if you don't mind, take something from Vhan. Again, a lot of parallels to say formos. Take something from Ezan if you have something better. Believe me, I I defer to you, but take something and share with us what you would think is a really good example of the Zerimon's approach and how inspiring his words could be for us. >> Okay, let me let me take a second over here. >> Yeah, no problem. >> Uh, Rabbi Naktzer is with us live via telephone. We're talking about Zera Shimon Yomi. The brand new Vayikra Bidbar and Dvarim. One volume is now available from our friends at Art Scroll. Go to artsgirl.com and of course make sure to use promo code radio or by seltz speaking to us from Israel. Okay, go ahead Rob Nakman. What do you got for us? All right. So, I'm going to tell we go to Shabases over here. And the name of the ver is called Shabas. And the P says you shall observe the commandment and the statutes and the ordinances that I command you today to perform them. And they gamarra brings the you shall observe the commandment and the statutes that I command you today to perform them. >> Right? >> And he says from the use of the word today the verse seems to be implying that the time and place to do mitzvah is only today in this world but that in the ca not but this is not the case tomorrow meaning in the world to come where the mitzvah are not performed. >> Right? Now he says the reason that mitzvah performance is limited to this world has to do with the fact that the essence of mitzvah performance is to select good from bad meaning to extract the sparks of holiness from the kipas. He quotes from the tamilia over the idea to take the you're extracting sparks of holiness from the kipas which are the forces of impurity. Now the world to come is referred to as shabas and we know that one who performs the of selecting on shabis has to bring a kas a sin offering. This is user this is forbidden from the Torah. If so just as the is forbidden on shabas in this world so too the cabalistic selecting of extracting sparks would be forbidden on shabas in the world to come. >> Right? Shabas the world to come says essence all this is in the next world which is compared to Shabas. However the world that we live in is compared to the week days which means that in the time and place that this is the time and place to set aside the shabas and because that is the case it is a mitzvah to select everything that is needed for the world to come while we're still living in this world. This means the world that we live in is the exclusive time and place to perform mitzvah in preparation for the world to come. And just as the primary method of performing the of selecting with respect to shabis is with a tool such as a seieve, so too the primary method of performing the cabalistic act of selecting the spiritual elements of good from bad is what the Torah which is a perfectly crafted tool that Hashem used when he created the world. So I want to once that's the vari says and I want to tell you the story that I put together with the var. >> Sure. And um it's a beautiful story. And so in this V stressing the idea that so much of what we do in this world is really as a preparation for the world to come. And the truth is we see this idea all throughout our lives where every decision that we make has genuine ramifications. And while we don't always see those ramifications, there are times that allows us to see what happens when we make the right decisions. At the same time, there's also a way for us to bring home the point that the more correct decisions we make in this world, the more incredible things await us in the world to come. So, the story starts that this person I know, he's a businessman. He has a company and he got on a plane for a business meeting and they put him in 1A. So, you were talking about 1A. I sit in 1A and I'm and it's 1A near the front of the plate, >> right? >> Cuz this guy is like one of those flyers. I don't know what it's called, but he's so diamond. He's like the chip on the top of the diamond. He gets he calls he had he like when he calls Delta like they put a few to the president of the company basically. He's always, you know, it's crazy stuff. So he gets on the plane and a veteran, a US veteran comes on board and not only was he a veteran, he had been injured in battle. He was missing a leg. >> Now this airline, like a number of airlines, has a policy that they put veterans in first class whenever they come aboard. if there's an available seat >> right >> now the seat next to me he told me was open so the stewardist brought a veteran to the seat and said this is your seat for the flight >> right >> and I was very happy to show respect to to the veteran what happened was I saw he had a son with him and I wanted his son to be able to sit next to his father so what did he do he he said I I got up from my chair the man told me I welcomed the veteran to the seat next to me and I asked the students if she could find me another seat cuz I wanted the veteran son to be able to sit next to his father. She was very surprised. So was the veteran. She said, "Let me give me a few minutes to figure it out." And then she found me a seat of business class. So I gave the son my seat. I said to them, you know, "Thank you for your service to the country." And then I walked down to to business class and I found my new seat. Soon the guy sitting next to me shows up. His name is Wesley Hunt. Now Wesley Hunt is a famous person. He was born in Houston to a military family. He went to West Point. After West Point, he spent eight years in the army as a pilot, aviation branch officer. He was in Iraq. He was in Saudi Arabia as a diplomatic liaison officer. He's a man with a lot of history and a lot of experience. Eventually he finished his military service. He was discharged from the army with the rank of captain. He went to Cornell University. He got an MBA as well as a master of public administration, a master of industrial and labor relations and business. See, they got a lot of degrees. And on the day of this fly, Wesley Hunt was a US congressman, Republican party, also married, father of three children. So, I don't know who told Wesley Hunt that I gave up my seat for a veteran son, but he heard about it and he was very touched by this. He's a veteran himself. He's very touched by this. And he told me, "I'm very touched by this. are very impressed by you. >> Now, for most people, if they would hear that Wesley Hunt is impressed with them, they would feel good maybe, right? But it would make a difference to them, >> right? >> But why was this such an important piece of information? Cuz the reason I was on a flight in the first place, cuz I was on my way to America to have a meeting with Wesley Hunt. >> Oh my gosh. >> Why am I going to meet with Wesley Hunt? Because Leslie Hans has a job in America and and he's very influential in in the energy field and my company has to do with energy, >> right? >> So now instead of having a few minutes to talk to him, not a real chance maybe, but just a few minutes, now I have a whole flight to talk to him. By the time the flight is over, we're mama's best friends. We part with a warm handshake. A few days later, he tells me, I go to Wesley Hunt's office. There's a meeting. and not the only person at the meeting. There a bunch of people of different companies from the energy industry and there were many government people there. It was a big meeting with a lot of people but I wasn't expecting anything from Hunt just because I met Hunt and I had a conversation with him. I wasn't expecting anything from him. The door opens. Hunt walks in the room. Everybody stands up. Okay. He said I maybe I my conversation made more of an impact on him than I thought because the moment he sees me and I was wearing a big yam on my head, he he runs over to me calling out loudly, "It's so great to see you again." Then he goes to his place and he starts the meeting and I wasn't sure when I left the meeting if I was able to state my case in a way that convinced the government agencies to put their money into my company. >> Right. But a few weeks after the meeting, my company received a check and a letter from his office at the Department of Energy. The letter informed me that Department of Energy decided to invest in my company and the check was made out to the tune of $4 million. As I held the check in my hand, I remembered the flight and the veteran who came aboard and how I jumped off of my place to allow his son to sit beside him and how Wesley Hunt had learned of this and appreciated my behavior. I had not done what I did because I was hoping for a payoff. At the same time, a yid has to always remember the big rules in life. And one of those rules is this. You never lose from going the extra mile for someone else and from making a kishem. In other words, you never lose from making the right decision. >> Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Fantastic. Is is that hard by the way for you to find stories that match up with, you know, detra from 200 years ago? I have file of stories that I use and I write and they're waiting for different projects and then I have my file. I want to finish writing the Tory I go through each week and I look I go through the file and somehow each time Hashem sends me the perfect story that goes with the >> unbelievable >> I don't know it's this is already the fifth and sixth book of >> Yeah. Well, each time it's >> cuz you got the schoolers working for you. >> That's that must be it. >> No joke. >> That's what it is. >> No joke. Zerim shyomi is written by Seltzer. The safer the stories of school. A fascinating selection from safer zerimon for every day of the year. The volume of vayikrabar and is now available. Go to artscroll.com. Make sure to use promo code radio. I would be remiss if I didn't just get you must have some type of unique perspective about what's going on as you continue to run with our brothers and sisters to shelters and experience what's been happening for the last two weeks. Uh, not to put you on the spot, but any anything unique, anything any perspective that those of us 6,000 mi away should be keeping in mind as as our brothers and sisters are going through all this and their strength stress and anxiety uh in many cases is likely hundreds of times more than anybody who's watching the news from around the world. >> No, that's a good question. I like that question. It's a serious question. The first time I was interviewed by country magaz we had a conversation prior to the interview and I said to him what are you going to ask me and he said to me don't worry I'm not going to ask you about the peace process and and I was like I was like no I'm disappointed what do you disagree with softball question all right so this is this is a serious question I want to tell you honestly it goes back to the first book I wrote three books about the war angels and orange miracles missiles nephesh and under fire, right? >> And these are three books that have to do with the war. >> And the truth is that this is really what's happening right now is kind of now I have a little bit of a problem because to write another book, I'm missing my my military person who passed away after miracles, missiles, and so I don't have my guy anymore. I will tell you this when when Angels in Orange happened when when on October 7th when we were attacked this country was also since I was 14. I have never seen the country at odds the people of the country at odds with each other to such a degree was it was Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall and the only way that Humpty Dumpty could be put together again was because Kamas attacked us. That was the only thing and that pulled us back together and that made a certain amount of peace. Again, it's not perfect but it saved it saved the country. And at the time I said to my students, the people I said this what happened on is covered in den >> it's for sure but it's covered in den. But you know what? As time began, we saw more and more how it wasn't just it was real because what started October 7th at that time we were weak and Iran said and and and and Sinoir wrote the reason why he's attacking us is because we're weak because we're fighting with each other and that's why it's a time to attack. And because they did that and because Iran said attack and there was a miracle was supposed to come in and they didn't do what they were supposed to do. They attacked every time they weren't supposed to they attack but when they were supposed to they didn't. And if they would have come in that day I don't know what would have happened but they didn't. They missed the ball like the Palestinians never miss opportunity to miss opportunity missed a big opportunity. They they lost that thing. They they fumbled the ball and that day attacked us. But because of that, Iran started something which like we wrote in the Zip said, you never know what's going to happen with the what you never know the ramifications of your actions and that's for good and that's for bad. And they sat in Thran and they planned this huge thing. And that led to Israel who had no deterrents at that time, fighting back and going from one guy to the next guy, taking out the top guys of Kamas, taking out the top guys of Kazbala, taking out Nallala, taking out just going from enemy to enemy and fighting a decapitating one after the next attack. And that led to the war, the 12- day war. And that led to the B2s and the fighting hitting their nukes. And that led if if they would have to would have thought when he started what he started that he is going to be killed in an air strike a few years later because Israel has taken over the skies all over Tan and Iran is a paper tiger. If he would have dreamed for he would have never he would have sat there at his in his in his office and eaten hummus and pizza and been quiet but he thought I'm going to be the big man. Hmon's back people. Hmon's back. We're going to do it with you. We're going to be successful. Maybe he's a great grandson of Han and maybe has you know some sort of missive left behind a letter written from his great-grandfather to finish the job I started. So he tried but on Purim the answer came from Hashem Kal is strong and what was the answer they killed the Ayatollah mameish right by Purim and it was migillas Esther all over again it was the story of Purim it started on October 7th and here's the end of stories coming full circle miracles and miracles and levels of miracles upon miracles upon does it. All the enemies that thought they were so strong surrounding Israel with an axes of fire, on the north and down there, and then and Iran and Egypt and Jordan and Lebanon and the Iraqis and uh and the Palestinians inside Israel. Everybody thought when the day comes, they're going to rise up and they're going to take us out. And Hashem said, "No, that's not what's going to happen." And I'm going to show you like with the migill where it looks like the migill looks like everything's normal. It doesn't look like a crazy miracle. It looks like a normal thing. This is normal, but it's it's really not normal. It's miracles that are covered in normal. And this is it looks normal. It looks normal for the American president to go and take out an enemy for 47 years and saying that to America. It looks normal, but it's not normal because at the end of the day, every president was not interested in doing this. And then along comes one president says, "I'M GOING TO DO IT." WHY IS HE DOING IT? He's helping client. So again, it's again, of course, it's good for America. And it looks LIKE A NORMAL THING, BUT IT'S A MIRACLE. Of course, it looks like pilots should be able to do what they do. But every time a pilot goes, it's a miracle. The fact that they could take out all of the air defenses, miracle after miracle after miracle. It's a story of Purim coming alive in our time. And we're watching history being made in a way like in my whole life, nothing like this ever happened. And every day today are miracles and miracles that we've never seen before. We live in a time when I was little, there was a game called paratrooper on the computer where there's a gun and there's a helicopters and players that fly and they drop paratroopers and you have to shoot them so they don't land. Today in we're living in a in a game. We're living in a in a video game, living in a Nintendo where they're shooting missiles at a hundreds, thousands, and we're shooting them down. It's mish living in a video game, living in a crazy miraculous situation. Who would have dreamed of such a thing 30, 40 years ago? And that's what I wanted to tell you. It's it's an amazing thing to watch that who would have dreamed when we were attacked October 7th. Everybody thought what a terrible terrible thing. And Hashem Hashem said, "It's not a terrible thing. It is. It's there is den over here. But this den is going to mash with your blood. You shall live. It's the blood that goes on the doorpost coming into Pesak. But this blood is going to take you and it's going to save you. It's going to pull you together. And it's going to at the end of the day when the when the dust settles, it's a whole different world. And that's what we're looking at right now. A whole different world. >> Amazing. >> Miracles and miracles. >> Absolutely amazing. Rabbi Nakman Saltzer. So appreciate your inspiring words and what a perspective.
