P

ulitzer Prize nominee Arthur Schopenhauer once wrote, “If President Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, he need only begin a number of conflicts large enough to capture the attention of the Nobel Committee, and then end them immediately. History suggests that those who create crises are often best positioned to be celebrated for resolving them.”

That observation came back to me recently while listening to the Mark Levin Show, when he shared an anecdote about learning Daf Yomi with his six-year-old grandson, during an Avos U’banim program, while on a packed D train. He described how a father seated nearby glanced up from his phone and remarked, to no one in particular, how frustrating it was that yet another Shabbos had passed without President Trump attacking Iran.

“Does he want this Nobel Peace Prize or not?” the man sitting next to Levin fumed.

When the train arrived at the Coney Island Zoo, the father noted on his own podcast, how struck Mark Levin was to encounter Rav Moshe Shapira, in the aviary overlooking the reptile house, while preparing a shiur on the Maharal, on the dynamics of the great cosmic battle between Yaakov and Eisav. It was there that Rav Shapira shared something with Mark that he, the father telling over the story, would never forget.

“Do you know,” Rav Moshe Shapira said quietly, “why certain events have not yet occurred? People assume these matters are decided in the halls of governments. But Chazal teach that the tefillos of Klal Yisrael shape history far more than we realize.”
