As we approach Pesach, a time that marks both the birth of our nation and the power of storytelling, this episode of the Nexus Podcast leans into the personal and inspiring story of one who chose to join our nation.
In this conversation, Aron Coleman sits down with Tom Goodwin, now Yaakov Yitzchok, an advanced paramedic and medical lead for Hatzolah Manchester, whose journey into Jewish life is both powerful and thought-provoking.
As a Ger who explored widely before committing to a life of Torah and community, Tom brings a rare perspective - one rooted in clarity, humility, and genuine pursuit of truth.
From his upbringing and path to conversion, to openly living as a proud Jew even before formally joining the community, YY shares a story that challenges assumptions and inspires reflection. We explore identity, belonging, the nuances within the Jewish community, and what those born into it might overlook.
Alongside his personal journey, YY also reflects on his role in helping rebuild Hatzolah Manchester, offering insight into leadership, responsibility, and service at the highest level.
The story of our people is made up of individual journeys and that the pursuit of truth and connection is something we are all called to.
