The Nexus Podcast

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 hi@nexuspodcast.uk Until next time 👋🏽

In this heartfelt episode, Rabbi Aron Litwin shares the personal journey that led to the founding of Mekimi and his life’s mission of supporting bereaved children and families. From his own experiences of loss, grief, and resilience, he discusses the importance of expressing emotions honestly, what a grieving child truly needs, and the moment his understanding of his own pain shifted.Rabbi Litwin offers an inside look at how Mekimi works with families from the first call, the challenge of maintaining dignity and privacy in charity work, and the emotional weight of being on the front lines of tragedy. He reflects on his father’s legacy, the impact of his mother’s illness, and the meaning found through faith, community, and purpose.With messages for the community, for orphans, and a deeply personal reflection on naming his son after his father, this conversation is a poignant exploration of grief, healing, and the quiet holiness of supporting those in pain.If you can, kindly consider supporting the important work of Mekimi:https://mekimi.co.uk/donate---I'm grateful for your feedback! • WhatsApp +4477 466 70 691 • Email hi@nexuspodcast.uk Until next time 👋🏽

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.I hope you enjoy ---I'm grateful for your feedback! • WhatsApp +4477 466 70 691 • Email hi@nexuspodcast.uk Until next time 👋🏽

Welcome to the final episode of The Nexus podcast for this year. This week's episode is really something special and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to sit down with Rabbi Joseph Dweck, somebody who has impacted the UK Jewish communities in so many ways over the past 12 years of his leadership and guidance and I highly recommend for people who want to explore more over by Rabbi Dweck's teachings to go online and search for his classes. In addition to his years of service to both Shuls and schools in the Us, in 2013, Rabbi Joseph Dweck was elected Senior Rabbi of the S&P Sephardi Community with a stunning 270-4 vote, later inaugurated at the historic Bevis Marks Shul. Since then, Rabbi Dweck has become one of the most prominent Jewish voices in the UK — earning himself a number of prestigious positions and eloquently and artfully interfacing between the Jewish community and The wider UK public at large.It is a true honour to have spent time in Rabbi Dweck's home, having this conversation a few short months before he and his family relocate to their new home in Israel. I hope you enjoy---Your feedback is gratefully appreciated! • WhatsApp +4477 466 70 691 • Email hi@nexuspodcast.uk Until next time 👋🏽

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 hi@nexuspodcast.uk Until next time 👋🏽
