לשנה טובה


I stumbled upon a list of aphorisms and one-liners from one of the premier Baalei Musar-Masters of

Ethical Teachings, Rabbi Simcha Zissel Ziv, also known as the Alter from Kelm. One phrase made me chuckle at first but I realized it wasn’t and couldn’t be a joke so I highlighted it and parked it in a file entitled, “more thought required”. The statement goes as follows: “Torah is divided into three portions; 1) Simplicity 2) Complexity 3) Simplicity!” That’s it! Get it!? Which one of these is not like the other? Two of the three are exactly the same! What are and why are there three parts when only two different ones are listed?

A model for explanation may be found in the Rosh Chodesh Bentching, when prior to each new month we pause in synagogue to recite some prayers of hope. Amongst the handful of items we cry out for is that this month should be filled with: “fear of heaven”, and that it contain wealth and honor, and not have embarrassment and shame, and then at the end of the list again we ask for “fear of heaven”. Twice! Why is it mentioned twice on the same short list? The answer is given that there is a “fear of heaven” that comes before wealth and honor and before embarrassment and shame and there’s another brand of “fear of heaven” that comes after the experience of wealth and honor and embarrassment and shame.

We find a similar pattern by the blowing of the Shofar. In order to have fulfilled the Mitzvah of the day one has to have heard a longish straight sound and some combo of broken sounds followed by a straight sound again. The pattern is straight-broken-straight! Perhaps this is a key to unlocking the code of the Shofar’s simple and not so simple message.

Every good thing in life begins with an almost naïve and yet beautiful simplicity. A child looks at his parents at first like the sun and the moon. His introduction to the Aleph and Beis are tinged with wonder and honey. A bride and groom stand as celebrities posing for pictures and generating song and dance wherever they go.

All those pictures and memories are purposefully

preserved and remain on the mantelpiece of our minds. So too our relationship with HASHEM begins, as a New Year, bathed in hope and idealism.

By the second week of school the sharpened number two pencil points are dulled and the knapsack is already lined with peanut butter and lost notes home from the teacher. After a period of time the awareness of ever emerging complexities begin to dominate the brain. The ocean that looked so pristine and inviting on the travel brochure grows darker and more dangerous as we wade deeper

into the reality of the scene. The mother and father are not so perfect. The Rebbe’s halo has a stain. The Torah is hard to understand. Those relationships that seemed so natural at first require real work and commitment to maintain and to avoid going insane. “What’s going on here? Is this some kind of bad

joke?” one may wonder. Welcome to the realm of the complex!

If one stalls at this point, the lingering sense of frustration may yield to disappointment, disillusionment, and ultimately terminal cynicism and depression. In that place one cannot survive long, so there are only two choices. One natural approach is to drift backwards to the world of the childish, to “never-never land”, where all forms of escapism dominate However, when the movie is over and the thrill is gone the complex realities of life are still there staring even more intensely.

The only healthy approach and admittedly the more difficult, is the one the Shofar urges desperately. Don’t stop moving! Live with hopeful anticipation of a mature simplicity that reconciles the profound complexities of life with its innocent beginnings. Is this not the paradigm of ultimate optimism for all cycles of life and psyches? So too we are encouraged to strive as King David (following the same pattern) directs us, “Hope to HASHEM, strengthen and fortify your heart, and hope to HASHEM!” Straight--------Broken-------- and Straight Again!

A blood spot in an egg is not kosher and could possibly render the entire egg not

kosher. Blood in an egg is forbidden because it indicates the beginning of the formation of an embryo inside the egg, and we are forbidden to eat embryos.

The majority of eggs, however, do not contain blood. Accordingly, one is not required to inspect an egg to see if there is blood in it, since we can assume that this egg is like the majority of eggs, which are blood-free. Since, however, it is an age-old custom—practiced throughout the entire Diaspora—to inspect raw eggs before using them, we do inspect them. [It is permitted to eat hard-boiled eggs which were not checked before cooking and cannot be checked once they are cooked, since in this case we rely on the fact that the majority of eggs are blood-free.] B’diavad, if the eggs were not inspected, and the eggs were mixed into food, the food may be eaten.

Nowadays, there is an additional factor to consider. In the United States, Israel, and other countries, the vast majority of eggs are non-fertilized “battery eggs” from which chicks are not hatched. Thus any blood found in them does not prohibit their use. All that is required is to throw away the blood spot; the rest of the egg is permitted. Several contemporary poskim hold, therefore, that today we may be lenient with blood spots in eggs and permit eating the egg, the food with which it was mixed, and the utensils in which it was cooked.

Rav M. Feinstein takes a stricter approach. Although he, too, agrees that according to the basic halachah, battery eggs are permitted, he still advises that it is proper to be stringent and throw away the entire egg, since there is a minority of eggs on the market which are not battery eggs. Rav Feinstein reasons that the centuries-old custom of inspecting eggs and throwing out the bloody ones should not be abandoned, particularly since eggs are relatively cheap and people do not consider throwing away a bloody egg to be an unjustifiable sacrifice. Based on this view, the following rules apply:

All eggs should be checked for a red or dark •black spot. A brown spot is not a problem.

If a red or dark black spot is found, the egg •should preferably be thrown out. If a lot of blood is found—especially if it is found in different parts of the egg—it is strongly recommended that the entire egg be thrown out, since this is a marked indication that it may be a fertilized egg.If the egg was not checked and blood was •found later when the egg was mixed together with other eggs or other food, the mixture does not have to be thrown out. The blood itself must be removed and discarded. Once the blood is mixed into the food and cannot be removed, the food is nevertheless permissible to eat. The pots, pans or dishes do not become non-kosher nor do they have to undergo a koshering process, although it is proper to wait 24 hours before using them again.

There is something about a frame that makes an average picture beautiful. It may

be a family photo or an expensive piece of art --regardless of its untrimmed beauty -- a frame takes it to the next level. Choosing the right frame for the picture and the setting in which it will be placed is a big factor on how pleasing it will look to the eye of the beholder. Different frame -- different reaction.

A person has free will as to how he or she will react to any given situation. In fact, two people may see the same event and react quite differently from one another. One may sit calmly and “let it slide” while another may blow up and react violently. It depends on how each sees the “picture”. An initial reaction is not always the best response. A good way to control

temper is to re-frame the pictures that aggravate. One way to react and to defuse an otherwise explosive situation is to say: “This is just a test.

G-d wants me to grow so he sent me this situation to see if I can control myself.” Another is to say, “This too shall pass. It always does!” Or perhaps a frustrating situation calls for a frame that says: “The reward is commensurate with the pain.”

Today when something or someone is about to get your goat -- just before you lose it -- stop. It only takes a minute to take the picture out of the ugly frame it is in and to reframe it into a beautiful work that will yield personal improvement and growth.

@koshersales – Trustworthy advice for salespeople and managers that your grandmother would love. - Elliot Grossbard

Your best friend and worst enemy....the customer.How would you describe what determines

a person or business to be a customer? A newsstand owner might say one

who comes and purchases a magazine or newspaper is a customer. A lawyer possibly will call a client who pays a retainer, a customer. A doctor would consider any of his/her patients to be customers.

Dictionary.com loosely translates cus·to·mer as "a person who purchases something from another". It translates sale as - transfer of property for money. That's all it is, nothing more nothing less. Webster's for cus·tom·er however goes with: “one who regularly or repeatedly makes purchases of a trader; a purchaser; a buyer” . Call me old school but Webster’s nailed it.

Simply asked, what is the difference between a sale and a customer really? A sale is what I would term along with what the first translation deemed; basically someone steps up to the counter, buys a pack of gum, and you probably never see him again, let alone recall what they looked like as they left the store.

Where a sale is just a purchase, a "customer" is someone who routinely comes back to you to buy the same product or services, or purchases other items from your line of products. But one thing is for certain, the coined adjective "repeat customer" is an oxymoron if I ever saw one. The fact that they come back for more, IS what makes them a customer. Sale = 1 purchase, customer = 2 or more ongoing purchases.

With that niw determined, let us talk about what makes the customer; a loyal and profitable client. One word - Relationships.

Jeffery Gitomer in his classic book Little Red Book of Selling says "People don't like to be sold, but they love to buy". This is likely true, but what about the people who need to purchase something out of necessity such as diesel fuel for their trucking company, batteries for their electronic store, plastic gloves for their medical office, or yes even office supplies for their business? I would like

to go out on a limb to say that people that are buying items out of necessity are not doing so while singing Willie Armstrong's "It's a wonderful world."

So is it possible to get decision makers that are buying these items or services out of necessity, to "love to buy" these things, let alone purchase from from you?

Until someone can prove otherwise my answer is no. But what IS possible is getting your customer to love you. YOU are what you are really selling, YOU are the company you own or work for, YOU are the reason they come back for more, YOU, YOU, YOU.....not price, not freebies, not the taste of the cupcake, not smooth delivery, but YOU. By saying this I am by no means

discounting any of the above mentioned, however all of it takes a back seat to your relationship with the customer. How you interact with them, how you service them, how you refer business their way.

Harry Beckwith has a great and easy to read book called You, Inc. - "The art of selling yourself". In it he describes what an engineer mentioned in his speech in March 1997 at the Learning Annex.

"I want to think I am your only client", he put it memorably. "So when you are in my area and you visit someone else, I want you to at least stop by and say hello."

How many of us truly do that? There is too much pressure to run to the next meeting, or errand to run that we miss out on an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with the most important component in the company.....the customer.

In previous @koshersales articles I mentioned that I rarely refer to our customers as "accounts", that it was too impersonal. Our Modus Operandi (Latin for "mode of operating" i.e. MO) at WeSupplyYou is

"It's not only about business, it's personal".

"It's not only about business, it's personal".

The reason being is that yes it's great that your company is getting their ink, toner, paper, filing, and office supplies from us, however by having a relationship with the customer not only builds a wall of defense against competitors, it also makes doing business enjoyable.

So the question is, how do you take something impersonal, and make it personal? You have to show that you care, and in order to do so, you actually have to care. And you can't fake caring, it has to be real, genuine. It is amazing how often I experience a saleperson who fails to make me believe that they honestly care about the consumer's decision and how it effects them.

The average person though has an above average "fakeness radar". You can't fake your way to getting someone to become a customer, and you can't fake being real. But let's assume you care, (otherwise just stop reading) how do you convey that to your customer?

If you care about someone, anyone, you want to naturally help them in anyway you can. When I first marketed WeSupplyYou LLC within our network of contacts I wanted customers and potential clients to feel that if there was anything they needed, whether we could supply it directly to them like office supplies, or even something like material for scarves, we wanted them to think of us regardless, we were to be their "go to guy", period. If they needed anything, they would come to us and we would invite them into our network of people and their connections. Our MO was "If you need it, We can supply it!". But I was so consumed in trying to be "the everything" for our clients that I was being unnatural.

Recently someone I have a great deal of respect for pointed out to me that "in attempting to do everything, nothing is accomplished". So I took a step back and decided to focus on the company's direct products and services. By doing so I became more at ease and natural. With a true conviction of trying to help customers, I was helping them in more than the direct way of supplying them paper, toner and hanging file folders. I naturally started referring poeple from within our network of friends, collegues, and clientle to our customers in areas of business I was indirectly involved in.

By doing this we were accomplishing two things; 1) We were referring someone I trusted to my client that helped them in that area of expertise 2) I was giving business to that contact and in essense paying it

forward....twice. Why are you in sales? And forget the limitless earnings of

potential commissions, pretend everyone earned the same amount of income no matter the profession.

Why do you do what you do? In sales there has to be more than the mighty dollar that motivates the salesperson. That feeling of satisfaction and rush of worthiness has to be rooted within the inner desire to help people.

What I love, what I have always enjoyed about sales is the constant interaction of people both new and old contacts, hearing their stories, learning about them, and the potential of not knowing where this meeting would lead; but by far the biggest satisfaction and driving force for me is the accomplishment felt after coming through for someone, delivering on a promise, and generally helping them.

Dale Carnegie THE original authority on sales and motivation, wrote in his classic book published originally in 1936 "How to win friends and influence people" :

"You can close more business in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get people interested in you"

There is one catch......you have to be real, otherwise you are wasting the time of your lost customer, and yourself.

Mentoring. We work with parents and teachers to carefully match youth with an adult mentor. They spend one hour a week, one-on-one, for one year. No preaching, no teaching, just quality time. This simple program can have a surprisingly positive and profound impact on your child, now and in the future! Mentoring is preventive, powerful, and positive. Every child can benefit from an hour of undivided attention weekly; it can’t always be you.

Become a Mentor. Do you have one hour a week to help strengthen the life of a fellow Jew? The goal is simply to go out, have a nice time and create a bright spot in the youth’s week. Call today to find out more about becoming a mentor.

Parenting Education. We offer programs to help equip parents with the skills and perspectives needed to build positive, healthy parent-child relationships and well adjusted, happy children. Programs are based on the “planting and building”derech of chinuch of Rav Shlomo Wolbe, ל"זצ . Call to schedule a program for your shul or organization and let our knowledge and experience help your group.

Become a Partner. With the use of affiliations, volunteers and technology, we have a very streamlined organizational structure which gives every local dollar a national reach. Call to learn more about NASO and the positive impact we are having on the lives of the individuals and families we help.

Our MissionTo provide preventive and interventional programs and education to the Torah observant Jewishcommunity; to empower youth, parents, and educators with the skills and perspectives necessary tostrengthen Jewish families and their individual members. NASO is a 501 (c) 3 tax exemptorganization and an affiliate of Project Y.E.S.
