In this wide-ranging conversation, Aron sits down with Rabbi Yechiel Emanuel - Principal of Beis Hatalmud, Rav of the rapidly growing Ohel Sholom community, and a leader quietly supporting Jewish life across Manchester and beyond. From his London upbringing and formative years in Gateshead, Rabbi Emanuel traces an unexpected journey: from founding the groundbreaking Camp Orach Chaim in Ukraine, to a decade spent inspiring boys, and later supporting Jewish refugees following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war. The conversation moves into more personal territory as Rabbi Emanuel shares his journey through secondary infertility, his composed yet powerful address in Kerestir, and the discovery of the Viledniker - a story of quiet miracles, perspective, and spiritual resilience. We explore what authentic leadership looks like today: building a shul that doesn’t just attract attendance, but transforms those who daven there. Rabbi Emanuel also reflects on public speaking, communal responsibility, and the importance of finding, and building, a lifelong relationship with a leader of one’s own. --- I'm grateful for your feedback!  • WhatsApp +4477 466 70 691  • Email [email protected]  Until next time 👋🏽 Hosted on Acast.

This week I'm delighted to share with you my conversation with Mattis Orgel.  Mattis founded one of the UK's leading kitchen manufacturers and suppliers, and his journey to get there is nothing short of remarkable.  So often we watch businesses from the outside seeing the build, seeing the development, seeing the growth, but rarely do we understand the long and arduous path that it took to get there. Mattis doesn't shy away from sharing about his challenge with ADHD, how it helped form his vision for the business but how it also set up tremendous obstacles that he had to learn to circumvent. Stick around to the end where you'll hear about financial policies when it comes to borrowing money to help fuel growth for business, and how refusing to rely on debt has helped carry the business through difficult times. There's plenty of gold dust here for many people in business, regardless of which industry you're in. --- Your feedback is gratefully appreciated!  • WhatsApp +4477 466 70 691  • Email [email protected]  Until next time 👋🏽 Hosted on Acast.

Born and raised in Israel, Asaf completed his university studies and embarked upon his remarkable musical journey. Accompanying several bands in his home country and from an early stage acting as both musician and band leader, Asaf left for Amsterdam to study his main love, Jazz. After six years of intense study, gigging in Jazz bars and at many private events all over Europe and graduating with outstanding scores in Jazz piano, a chance meeting with Jeremy led to the start of a fantastic bond between the two, which eventually brought Asaf to London. A more talented, passionate, versatile and energetic musician than Asaf is hard to find, when you put that together with the single minded ambition to create a better product week after week as he does, the results are phenomenal. --- Friends Of The Podcast Maxim Cohen • The Jewish Lending Institute www.linkedin.com/in/maximcohen/ ---  Your feedback is gratefully appreciated!  • WhatsApp +4477 466 70 691  • Email [email protected]  Until next time 👋🏽 Hosted on Acast.

It was a real privilege to sit down with Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz, a man of knowledge, clarity of thought, and tremendous wisdom. Originally from South Africa, Rabbi Tatz began his career in medicine, practicing in both South Africa and Israel. Rabbi Tatz redirected his path toward Torah learning and has since become a leading voice in Jewish philosophy and ethics. He is the founder and director of the Jerusalem Medical Ethics Forum, and his published works, including Living Inspired, Worldmask, The Thinking Jewish Teenager’s Guide to Life, and Letters to a Buddhist Jew, have been translated into multiple languages and continue to inspire readers globally.  Now based in London,  Rabbi Tatz continues to teach and inspire Jews both locally and worldwide on Jewish thought, medical ethics and more.

Welcome back friends, this week I am delighted to bring you my conversation with Rabbi Benjy Morgan, CEO of the Jewish Learning Exchange, commonly known as the JLE. As CEO, Rabbi Benjy Morgan is responsible for the innovation and strategy of the JLE in the 21st century. He oversees education across the numerous different departments in which the JLE operates. He guides dozens of dedicated staff and the myriad of weekly programs that service over 1000 individuals each week.  There were two particular stories that I wanted to bring up in my conversation with Rabbi Morgan, but some last minute changes to Rabbi Morgan’s diary meant that we ended up recording this conversation a few short hours before a flight out of the country. Instead, I have appended recordings of these stories, one at the beginning, a moving and beautiful narrative that gives us insight into the miraculous story or Rabbi Morgan’s family, and one at the end, which is an account of Rabbi Morgan’s own personal miracle story which took place in 2019, with a message for Chanukah as we enter the month of Kislev.

Welcome back to the show. Today’s conversation is one I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. My guest is Yitzi Ginsbury, a name synonymous with commitment, leadership, and quiet strength within our community. Many will know him through his tireless work with Ezra Care, but his impact stretches far beyond that. From his role at Jewel to his presence as a trusted voice bridging community needs and public institutions. In this episode, we’ll explore Yitzi’s journey, from the foundations of Ezra Care and its incredible growth, to the challenges of expanding services, managing behind-the-scenes operations, and representing our community with clarity and diplomacy. We’ll also touch on the deeply personal: Yitzi’s own medical journey, the resilience it demanded, and the extraordinary way he continued to serve others even while facing his own battle.

This week on The Nexus Podcast, I had the privilege of sitting down with Shraga Zaltzman.   Shraga spent over a decade leading Work Avenue, where he helped hundreds of individuals identify their strengths, build new skills, and step into careers that brought purpose and stability into their lives.   But his work went far beyond job placements. It was about restoring dignity, rebuilding confidence, and empowering people to take control of their future.   Even after stepping back from his official role, Shraga remains a trusted voice for those seeking career direction or looking to grow their businesses.   What makes this episode truly special is hearing how Shragas personal journey, facing personal difficulties from a young age,  to rebuilding from the ground up, became the very foundation for the work he’s done for so many others.   I hope you enjoy ---  Your feedback is gratefully appreciated!  • WhatsApp +4477 466 70 691  • Email [email protected]  Until next time 👋🏽 Hosted on Acast.
