Nachman Seltzer
Nachman Seltzer (Hebrew: נחמן סלצר; born 1978) is an Israeli author, public speaker, and rabbi. He is known for his work in Jewish literature, particularly focusing on biographies and inspirational stories based on real-life events. He also served as the director of the Shira Chadasha Boys Choir.
Seltzer grew up in a Breslov family in Flatbush and Borough Park in Brooklyn, New York. He attended the Torah Vodaas, Karlin-Stolin, and Yesodei Hatorah yeshivas. He attended various summer camps, where he performed as an actor. As a child, he joined the Miami Boys Choir for two years, between 1992 and 1993.
At age 14, Seltzer immigrated to Israel with his family and later studied at Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood Township, New Jersey. After his marriage he studied at the Mir Yeshiva in Jerusalem and received semikhah from Rabbi Yitzchak Berkovits at the Jerusalem Kollel.
Seltzer is the author of 55 books as of 2025[update], which are widely read in Orthodox Jewish communities. His works are known for their narrative style and generally focus on Jewish history, biographies, and inspirational stories, as well as a number of thriller fiction titles. It takes him three to four months to write each book.
He wrote his first book, The Edge, at the age of 23. It was published by Rabbi Moshe Dombey, the founder of Targum Press, who had earlier encouraged him to start writing. His first few books were novels, after which he transitioned to short stories. Currently, he primarily writes biographies.
His books are written in English, and approximately 10 of them have been translated into Hebrew, with some also translated into French, Spanish, and Yiddish. His book The Edge was adapted into a film by Boruch Perlowitz.
He also writes a weekly column in the Mishpacha titled "A Storied People", featuring non-fiction short stories. He formerly contributed weekly to Hamodia.
Seltzer is a frequent lecturer in Jewish communities and on TorahAnytime, often discussing the themes of his books, including faith, positivity, and Jewish identity. He also gives classes on gemara and hashkafa at American yeshivas and seminaries.
