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.

I had the privilege of sitting down, with the two and only, Avi & Yaakov Barr, who besides for their busy respective schedules, have carved out the time to found one of the UK’s most critical organisations, Jteen.

Besides, for the staggering amount of calls and messages they take through their anonymous hotline, supporting teenagers from all walks of life navigate the  challenges they are facing , JTeen also organizes workshops, training events and is bringing New material to school curriculums to further advance positive change in teenage mental health.  Where do such busy people find the time to found and grow charities?

Welcome back to Part 2 of my conversation with Gedalia Miller.  We've all seen the signage and we've all seen the adverts for the incredible Shabatons advertised by Kesher Nafshi .  Besides, for the logistics of arranging such weekends, I wanted to understand what impact these events provide for the attendees and how the journey of launching such intensely scheduled programmes evolved and what the vision was from the onset.  Kesher Nafshi has embedded itself across dozens of communities globally providing not just spiritual, emotional and psychological healing to families going through this challenging chapter but more importantly in its continuously expanding level of in reach to new communities, providing training, events, and one-to-one family Care helping struggling teens, their parents, siblings and extended families navigate this journey with understanding compassion and  lasting success.  Join me on my conversation with Gedalia Miller as we discover the magic of Kesher Nafshi Once again, a huge thank you to Maxim Cohen from the UK Finance Group for his continued support of this podcast.

Maxi was somebody I reached out to before I even launched my first episode. At the time, I had little to show for myself, and Maxi declined my request for a conversation.  Fast forward, and gratefully we managed to lock down a time to meet and talk. Maxi is a larger than life character and we enjoyed a fascinating conversation where he shared personal opinions and experiences on a broad range of topics, including building and scaling a business, dealing with personal setbacks and early childhood hardships, learning how to cut out the noise and stay focused on the end goal and perhaps most importantly, a valuable lesson in learning to build a healthy relationship with the ever growing demands on our attention from technology. I hope you enjoy and benefit from listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.  Connect with Maxi on LinkedIn 🔗https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxirose/ --- THANK YOU TO OUR CORPORATE SPONSORS  Maxim Cohen • The UK Finance Group [email protected] https://www.linkedin.com/in/maximcohen/ ---  Your feedback is gratefully appreciated!  • WhatsApp +4477 466 70 691  • Email [email protected]  Until next time 👋🏽 Hosted on Acast.

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.

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.
