About Netzoir

Netzoir is a channel of short true stories on the power of words on Lehallel — the filtered YouTube platform. 127+ of their recordings can be watched here, with no ads and no comments.

Netzoir - from "guard your tongue" - is a channel of short true stories about the power of words. Each is two to four minutes: one story, told by a rabbi who heard it or lived it, about a compliment that changed a life, a silence that saved a family, a sentence a child never forgot. "Yes, You Have a Word Count", "The Severity of Our Words", "Speech Saves the World", "Mezuzah of the Mouth", "Building Worlds, One Word at a Time", "The Compliment Effect", "Intentional Silence".

Many are stories of the gedolim: what the baker told the Chofetz Chaim, and the Chofetz Chaim greeting Rabbi Shimon Schwab; Rav Moshe Feinstein and his compliments, and the Satmar Rebbe's respect for him; the Vilna Gaon's suggestion for a bracha; Rav Dessler's response; Rav Shach as sandak for both; Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetsky being yelled at; the Belz Rebbe who saved a life; the Gerrer Rebbe's surprise visit to a yeshiva.

Others tell of shidduchim and families - "The Shidduch in Tzfas", "Choosing a Son-in-Law", "A Baby After Twelve Years", "A Mother's Silence" - and of the Yamim Tovim: a Rosh Hashanah lesson from a chef, a taxi driver's Yom Kippur, "Upgrade Your Kol Nidrei", the sixth hakafa, peace before Pesach, and a Tisha B'Av program, "Rebuild with Every Word".

The storytellers include Rabbi Joey Haber, Rabbi Shlomo Landau, Rabbi Yechiel Spero, Rabbi YY Jacobson, Rabbi Gavriel Friedman, Rabbi Eytan Feiner, Rabbi Daniel Glatstein, Rabbi Naftali Reich, Rabbi Nachman Seltzer, Rabbi Zev Smith, Rabbi Jonathan Rietti, Rabbi Fischel Schachter, Dayan Yehoshua Posen and many more. Each story opens on its own page, with no ads and no comments around it.
