Wednesday Apr 17, 2019
In this Pesach special, join Hayden as he chats with Rabbi Harvey Belovski about why we lean on Pesach in 'Talmud for Schmeryls' and some Passover tips with Denise Philips. I visited Jewish food bank GIFT charity and spoke with their founder Michelle Barnett, Gilad Halpern provided the final bit of election analysis (at least until the next one), I discover a new piece of Passover mishnah and for the Broigus (renamed the Matza Brei-gus) I was joined by Rabbi Debbie Young-Somers from Reform UK, Sephardi Rabbi Jeff Berger and United Synagogue Member Amanda Bookatz. This episode's image is from GIFT with additional music supplied by Incompetech.

It's very possible you have no idea who Michael Wegier is. He is a lifelong Jewish charity professional and has just finished his tenure as Chief Executive of UJIA. A true example of strong and stable leadership. If you haven't heard of UJIA, it's the largest Jewish Israel charity in the UK with a multi million pound turnover. We talk crisis management, Birthright, how to be a good fundraiser and lots of other really interesting stuff. Hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to the second episode. On the show today we have mushrooms, Talmud for Schmeryls with Clive Lawton talking about Ben Azzai, Denise Philips talking Challah, Julia Gazdag talking Mother in Laws and me talking about the JQ Literary Prize. The Bagel Broigus features Board of Deputies President Marie van der Zyl, Ben Crowne and Clive Lawton who are answering the question whether we should air our dirty linen in public.
This episode's image is my Dad's challah which he baked for Shabbat UK. It was very nice too. Well done Dad!

This interview with Clive Lawton OBE was originally going to be edited down and placed into the first episode. However it was impossible to edit because the conversation was so good! Hope you enjoy and if you do, let everyone know and share around.

Mushrooms, Frummers, Bibi and Bagels
Thursday Jan 24, 2019
Thursday Jan 24, 2019
Here it is! The first episode lovingly crafted for your listening pleasure. On the show today we have mushrooms, Talmud for Schmeryls with Rabbi Debbie Young Somers, Better Know a Jewish Charity with Ben Crowne who's talking about the private ambulance service, Hatzola and the drama going on there. Gilad Halpern will be discussing Bibi and Julia Gazdag answers what to do when you've cooked too much food. Jewish chef Denise Philips talks to us about the history of the bagel and on the first Broigus we discuss the future for left wing Jews. This was recorded when I was running out of time at Limmud Festival so the pacing is rather swift! Featuring Rabbi Michael Muskowitz, Marjorie Ingal, Daniel Anderson, Ben Crowne and Julia Gazdag. Finally, for those who don't know, I explain the Shlomo Rubashkin affair. Unfortunately, as hard as I tried I couldn't find anyone to talk to me who was pro Rubashkin and I tried a lot of people! If I missed you out, please do get in touch as I want the Bagel to be a place for Jews of all stripes.
