Emily Cohen (1983-85)

Saison 2 · Épisode 28

vendredi 20 septembre 2024 • Durée 01:04:59

Joining Jill and Doron on our 28th episode, the tenth of our second season, to tell us her story is British entrepreneur and Israel warrior Emily Cohen.

Emily completed her A-Levels at Surbiton High School in Surrey, and thereafter - rather than go to university - chose to start working, in public relations. She began at the Lynne Franks agency in London, advising mainly showbiz and other celebrity clients. She then ran Hilton Hotels’ London press office, from where she moved to head European PR for the Planet Hollywood restaurants chain. Next, Emily founded Pout Cosmetics, which Victoria’s Secret acquired eight years later. She then consulted for fellow Carmel alumnus Sir Philip Green, and created a Top Shop cosmetics brand. 17 years ago, she co-founded and acted as creative director of the kids’ fashion label Sunuva. Since October 7, she has come back full circle to her PR roots in support of Israel, focusing on people rather than politics. She and her husband Roy, an Israeli-American, have been married for twenty years, with two children. They live in Queens Park, and have a second home in Tel Aviv.

Hear Emily talk about her highly irregular Carmel induction, ‘mansara’ living, impersonating MeatLoaf on Purim, her suspension for being the beacon of tuck, ‘Earth, Wind & Fire’ 4ever, a very cheeky birthday card, showing Arnold around Tel Aviv, Kylie Minogue's pouty red lip gloss, fielding an unexpected call from Sir Philip Green, and life as an Israel warrior.

Thank you, Emily Cohen, for turning us again to Carmel days!

Adrian Agassi (1972-82)

Saison 2 · Épisode 27

vendredi 6 septembre 2024 • Durée 01:01:03

Joining Jill and Doron on our 27th episode, the 9th of our second season, to tell us his story is Adrian Agassi, better known as Agi.

Agi studied Law at Kings College London and was called to the Bar in 1986, the same year he made Aliyah. In 1989, after receiving a Masters degree in Public International Law from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, he was called to the Israel Bar and began a 20 year-long legal career in the IDF, rising to military judge with the rank of Major, presiding over land disputes in Judea and Samaria and anti-terrorism cases. On retiring from the IDF at the age of 44, he went to study at Aish HaTorah Yeshiva in Jerusalem, which led him to write numerical kabbalistic commentaries to the Torah and five megillot which appear on his web site (https://sites.google.com/site/shem18hai). In 2013 he established a monthly Kollel for Kabbalah studies on Mount Zion in Jerusalem to pursue his passion for Jewish mysticism leading to the final redemption of Israel. But for now he owns a lottery concession in Nahariya and dabbles in refurbishing classic cars. He and his wife Hilary have six children.

Hear Agi talk about saying kaddish for his father at Carmel, playing the judge in the 1982 production of Trial by Jury, the meaning of true love, smashing a car into Newnham House, life as an evacuee, ‘transvestite metals’, and why he originally failed his Jewish Studies O-Level.

Thank you, Adrian Agassi, for turning us again to Carmel days!

Dedication: at Agi’s request, this episode is dedicated to Reverend and Mrs. Segal, of beloved memory, who in the 1970s were resident Orthodox Jewish Studies teaching staff at Carmel, committed to Jewish leadership of the school. In their staff house, the Segals often hosted kiddush after shul services on Shabbat. Prior to Carmel, Reverend Segal had been a Minister of Religion in Liverpool. After Carmel, the Segals retired to Netanya, Israel.

Peter Rhodes OBE (1962-66)

Saison 2 · Épisode 26

vendredi 23 août 2024 • Durée 01:02:48

Joining Jill and Doron on the 26th episode of the podcast, to tell us his story is British businessman Peter Rhodes.

Peter was raised in Kensington where he attended St. David’s prep school before arriving at Carmel, sight unseen. After ‘A‘ levels, he had a diverse career in retail, advertising and exhibitions, during which he worked at the Jewish Chronicle, M&S and the New Musical Express. In 2007, the Queen awarded him an OBE for services to British business interests in France based on his thirty years at the helm of Reed Midem, organising international fairs - mostly in Cannes - for the music, TV and property industries. Now retired, Peter is an active BAFTA member and sells sculptures and ceramics created by Sue, his wife of 47 years, with whom he has a daughter.

Hear Peter talk about in what unexpected way Carmel bested Oxford, Mr Healey’s distinctive French accent, racing from Reading to Mongewell Park in Mr. Coombe’s Austin Healey, King Lear in the amphitheater, and his time in ‘The Mad Hatters’.

Thank you, Peter Rhodes, for turning us again to Carmel days!

Dedication: at Peter's request, this episode is dedicated to the memory of the late Dr. David Stamler, Headmaster of Carmel College from 1961 to ‘71, who in December 2021 died in New York, aged 93.

Ilana Brandwain-Chodos (1990-95)

Saison 2 · Épisode 25

vendredi 9 août 2024 • Durée 38:43

Joining Jill and Doron on our 25th episode, the 7th of our second season, to tell us her story is our second Belgian guest, fine jeweler and fellow podcaster Ilana Brandwain.

Ilana was born in Antwerp to Ukrainian parents. She studied French and Russian at Queen Mary University in London, followed by Chinese medicine. Upon returning to Antwerp, she founded a venture that markets the world’s rarest yellow diamond, the Zimmi, named after the region in Sierra Leone in which it is mined. Ilana works right in the heart of Antwerp’s Diamond Centre, from where her podcast grants listeners an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse of the diamond business. She co-founded the world’s only women's group in the historically male-dominated diamond industry. She is married to our dear friend and Carmel contemporary, Elie Chodos, with whom she has two sons.

Hear Ilana talk about how she took herself to Carmel, her father’s perilous professional life, the bedrock her Carmel friends became, starting her own business, and how Carmel broke the ice on a ‘beshert’ first date.

Thank you, Ilana Brandwain, for turning us again to Carmel days!

Jack “Yanky” Fachler (1957-64)

Épisode 24

vendredi 26 juillet 2024 • Durée 50:21

Joining Jill and Doron on our 24th episode, the sixth of our second season, to tell us his story is our first guest from Ireland, author Yanky Fachler, known as Jacky at Carmel College, where he was Head Boy.

Following two years at Yeshiva in Israel, Yanky studied Psychology, Sociology and Economics at Brunel, where he also earned a Masters degree in Sociology, before returning to Israel. For two decades he then worked with a multitude of Israeli advertising agencies as an English language freelance copywriter until he moved to Ireland to coach corporate executives in communication. He now lives with his wife in a small town between Belfast and Dublin, and chairs the Jewish Historical Society of Ireland. Yanky is a regular contributor to the ‘Word in Edgeways’ broadcast, and a writer. In addition to his memoirs (“Yanky’s Doodles”), he wrote a book on the Jewish community of Letchworth, in which he grew up, and since October 7th, emails out several times a week a morale-boosting summary of the relevant news. His two sons live in California and Israel, respectively.

Hear Yanky talk about why’ Yanky’ became ‘Jacky’, becoming Head Boy, his act of civil disobedience in the Carmel synagogue, and beating The Beatles to record at Abbey Road Studios.

Thank you, Yanky Jack Fachler, for turning us again to Carmel days!

The chapter on Carmel College from Yanky’s memoirs can be found here: https://www.carmelcollege.co.uk/the-road-from-carmel-podcast

Dedication: at Yanky’s request, this episode is dedicated to the memory of Yisrael Alexander, his former teacher as well as father of his friend and Carmel contemporary, David Alexander. Born in Berlin, the son of a rabbi, Yisrael was - at the age of 15, in 1938, following Kristallnacht - deported to the Buchenwald concentration camp for belonging to a Zionist youth movement, but managed to escape the Shoah on a Kindertransport to England, where he met not only his future wife, Chaya, but also Yanky’s parents. Around the time of the State of Israel’s founding, Yisrael and Chaya joined a kibbutz. In the mid-fifties, Yisrael and his young family came to Carmel, where he taught Jewish Studies, Hebrew and German. He passed away in Israel in 2005 at the age of 84.

Alain Jeger (1981-83)

Épisode 23

vendredi 12 juillet 2024 • Durée 01:01:07

Joining Jill and Doron on our 23rd episode, the fifth of our second season, to tell us his story is our first Belgian guest, Alain Jeger.

Alain grew up in Antwerp, and prior to Carmel, went to the renowned Tachkemoni school. After Carmel, he studied at the European Business School in London. For the past 15 years he has been the Managing Director of an Environmental Safety group that offers enterprise clients testing, inspection and control services. He lives in Brussels, and is the father of two daughters, aged 32 and 28.

Hear Alain talk about his boozy encounter with a tzadik, becoming ‘Head of Detention’, getting in his 10,000 steps-a-day Carmel style, whom he surprisingly plied with gefilte fish, making ‘apple pies’, and nocturnal outings to Oxford.

Thank you, Alain Jeger, for turning us again to Carmel days!

Dedication: at Alain’s request, this episode is dedicated to the memory of David Jones, the coach of the Carmel College First XI football team and an English teacher. Many of us will also fondly remember Jones as the Mongewell Housemaster. He was originally from Wales, fought in the Korean War when he was called up for National Service, and played league football professionally as a goalkeeper for Reading FC. He lived out his years in a care home, and sadly passed away in 2022 at the age of 90.

Épisode 22

vendredi 28 juin 2024 • Durée 38:25

Joining Jill and Doron on our 22nd episode, the fourth of our second season, to tell us her story, is film and commercials producer Suzie Greene-Tedesco, who attended Carmel College from 1971 to ‘78, the thirty-third girl to do so.

Suzie lives in Los Angeles with her husband Denny and two kids. She completed her education at St. Godric’s Secretarial College in Hampstead, and began her entertainment career as assistant to London talent agent Duncan Heath before moving on to work behind the scenes on feature films and TV commercials. Suzie produced the award-winning music documentary “The Wrecking Crew”, which her husband directed. And - on a personal note, the one color Suzie has never worn since the day she left Carmel College is…you guessed it!...purple.

Hear Suzie talk about a long lost and recently retrieved conspiratorial letter, her father accompanying King Charles on his royal visit to Carmel, her starring movie role as “Madame Verte”, her brief brush with criminality, and why her father wanted matron fired.

Thank you, Suzie Greene Tedesco, for turning us again to Carmel days!

Dedication: at Suzie’s request, this episode is dedicated to the memory of her former teacher Isabel Craston, who instilled in Suzie a love for books and reading.

Joining Jill and Doron on our 20th episode, the second of our second season, to tell us his story, is Mark Sabah, an international political activist and lobbyist, and former Head Boy at Carmel.

Mark was born in London and raised in Africa as the son of a diplomat for the European Union. After Carmel, he studied Politics and Social Sciences at Manchester Metropolitan University, and eventually became a public affairs advocate for human rights against authoritarian regimes. He is credited with the passage of the Magnitsky Law, which is now carried in 35 countries. Currently he is a Director of a foundation that promotes freedom in Hong Kong. His work has made him a persona non grata in both Russia and China - but he is most welcome here, on “The Road from Carmel” podcast.

Hear Mark talk about keeping kosher in Africa, Jewish discus-throwing, becoming Head Boy, being chased on the North Circular, and how he came to work for Lord Jeffrey Archer.

Thank you, Mark Sabah, for turning us again to Carmel days!

Rabbi David Rosen KSG CBE (1958-67)

Saison 2 · Épisode 19

vendredi 17 mai 2024 • Durée 46:44

Joining Jill and Doron on the 19th episode of the podcast, the first of our second season, to tell us his story, is Rabbi David Rosen (1958-67), the youngest son of Carmel College’s founders Rabbi Dr. Kopul and Bella Rosen, and brother of Rabbis Jeremy Rosen and the late Micky Rosen.

David, known to his old school friends as Buster, is currently Special Advisor to the Abrahamic Family House in Abu Dhabi. He is the former Chief Rabbi of Ireland, and previously Senior Rabbi of the largest Jewish congregation in South Africa during the apartheid era. For his interfaith work, he has received a papal knighthood and was named a Commander of the British Empire by the late Queen Elizabeth II. David lives in Jerusalem and is married to Sharon, with whom he has three children and seven grandchildren, ranging in age from 2 to 23.

Hear David talk about sibling rivalries, playing cricket with the Chief Rabbi, hearing Danny Kaye sing Hebrew in Wallingford on Faye Day, and his IDF service.

Thank you, Rabbi David Rosen, for turning us again to Carmel days!

Dedication: at David's request, this episode is dedicated to the memory of his late mother Bella Rosen, who made often unrecognized yet invaluable contributions to Carmel College as its co-founder. In the school's early years, she shouldered responsibilities as Catering Manager and Household Supervisor. During one of the institution's dire financial periods she selflessly pawned her engagement ring to ensure breakfast for the school's boys, an act that resonates with profound dedication. She later joined the Board of Governors. Sadly, Bella Rosen passed away in Jerusalem in 1999.
