On this encore episode of “613 Books” podcast, producer Heather Dean interviews Rabbi Nachman Seltzer, a bestselling author of well over fifty (!) books, many of which are biographies, novels, collections of inspirational stories, and books about Jewish history.
They are discussing Rabbi Seltzer’s book, “Missiles, Miracles and Mesiras Nefesh,” which explores the war that began on October 7th, on what should have been one of the most joyous days of the year, Simchas Torah – which that year also fell on Shabbat.
Through riveting stories and unforgettable behind-the-scenes reports, Rabbi Seltzer’s book has it all: tragedy, hope, heroism, and military miracles.
PART TWO of Heather’s encore interview with Rabbi Seltzer is featured in the next episode of “613 Books” podcast!
