The Nexus Podcast

Aron Coleman

Navigating the business and financial landscape can seem difficult and lonely. But many others have beaten the path ahead for us. They have what to share, and many are ready to listen. What's more, our community is blessed to have a wide range of charity organisations that are accomplishing incredible things every single day. But many have little air time to educate the public about what really goes on behind closed doors. It's time to start the conversation. Welcome to Nexus. Hosted on Acast.

  1. Indifference Kills (Feat: Rabbi Naftali Schiff)

    Indifference Kills (Feat: Rabbi Naftali Schiff)

    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?

    Let Me Join My Nation (Feat: YY Goodwin)

    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. ---------------------- Enjoying these episodes?

    Get Rich, Or Get High Trying (Feat: Charles Bursk)

Please take a moment to follow and rate this channel on Spotify & Youtube and add a comment if you can - it really helps us reach more listeners 🙏 Thank you 💖 --------------------- What happens when someone who grows up with almost no connection to faith suddenly begins asking the deepest questions about life, purpose, and truth? In this episode, we sit down with Charles Bursk, a man whose journey began in Manchester, far removed from an orthodox Jewish lifestyle, yet who found himself drawn onto a powerful and unexpected path of discovery. Through a series of circumstances, Charles developed an unrelenting drive to understand life on a deeper level. What followed was a transformation. A search for truth that would reshape how he sees the world, his work, his family, and his purpose. But Charles isn’t someone who stepped away from the real world to pursue meaning. Quite the opposite. He’s someone who lives fully within it, navigating the pressures of modern life, business, responsibility, and family, while constantly striving to layer those everyday moments with intention, wisdom, and spiritual clarity. In this conversation, we explore how to live a life of real meaning in a world designed to distract us. From building a family and giving charity, to understanding why we’re here in the first place, Charles shares powerful insights on how to stay focused, productive, and purposeful despite the noise and chaos that surround us. This isn’t just a conversation about faith. It’s a conversation about how to live. And if you’ve ever found yourself asking deeper questions about the direction of your life - this episode might just change the way you think about it. I hope you enjoy. --------------------- We really appreciate your feedback!  • WhatsApp +4477 466 70 691  • Email hi@nexuspodcast.uk  Until next time 👋🏽 Hosted on Acast.

Rabbi Noiky Roberts is a globally recognised speaker, educator, and wedding singer whose unique ability to blend charisma, authenticity, humour, and deep Torah insight has inspired audiences across continents. Raised in Gateshead and later spending three decades in the close-knit community of Gibraltar, Rabbi Roberts has built a life centred around simplicity, faith, and meaningful human connection — values that stand in sharp contrast to the noise and urgency of modern living. From overcoming personal struggles and anxiety in his early years, to dedicating his life to Chinuch, community leadership, and inspiring thousands through shiurim, public speaking, and music, Rabbi Roberts represents a rare balance between public performer and deeply grounded servant of Hashem. In this conversation, we explore profound themes including Bitachon, the pursuit of success, overcoming fear, the power of consistency, community life, and what it truly means to feel at home, both physically and spiritually. We’ll also hear personal reflections on resilience, faith, education, and bringing timeless Jewish wisdom to audiences across the world. This is a conversation about purpose, perspective, and discovering meaning in both the spotlight and the quiet moments behind it. --------------------- We really appreciate your feedback!  • WhatsApp +4477 466 70 691  • Email hi@nexuspodcast.uk  Until next time 👋🏽 Hosted on Acast.
