Just 48 hours after I sat down with Rabbi Naftali Schiff, an arson attack was carried out at the former premises of Jewish Futures. This wasn’t an isolated incident. Only months earlier, another one of their buildings was defaced with hateful messages. And yet, what stood out to me then, and even more so now, is the resolve. The team at Jewish Futures will not be shaken. The light they bring to tens of thousands each year will not be dimmed. Am Yisrael Chai. ----- In this episode, I sit down with Rabbi Naftali Schiff - a visionary leader, educator, and institution builder whose impact on Jewish life in the UK and beyond is both profound and far-reaching. As the driving force behind Jewish Futures, Rabbi Schiff has pioneered a model that goes far beyond a single organisation, creating a meta-institution that incubates, scales, and sustains a network of initiatives engaging thousands across the Jewish spectrum. Rabbi Schiff opens up about what our task on this world truly is, what it means to own responsibility and how getting on with the job without distraction is really the key to getting things done. A moving part of our conversation centres on his Holocaust project and book, Miracle. We explore the emotional weight of sitting with these stories, the responsibility of preserving them, and the profound lessons they carry, particularly the unwavering will to live that defined so many of those he encountered. We also reflect on his close relationship with Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, and what it meant to work alongside one of the most influential Jewish thinkers of our time. This and much more, in this weeks conversation. I hope you enjoy Aron ---------------------- 🔗 https://www.jfutures.org/ 🔗 https://www.aish.org.uk/ ---------------------- Enjoying these episodes?
