Alison Fisch grew up in Leeds. She studied for her BA and MA in English Literature at Bar Ilan University in Israel and completed her PhD at the University of Leeds.

She is now a director and shareholder at a bespoke travel agency in Radlett. Sally has three children in their thirties, and four grandchildren, three of whom were born in a five month span earlier this year.

Joining Jill and Doron on the 34th episode of the podcast, the sixteenth of our second season, to tell us his story is esteemed British scientist Professor Raymond Dwek, who attended Carmel College from 1949 to ‘60, accompanied by his older brother Joe. Both brothers would go on to become governors of Carmel. Raymond studied Chemistry at Manchester University and completed his DPhil at Oxford University. During this time, both Raymond and his wife Sandra also taught at Carmel. He became Professor of Glycobiology, a field he was instrumental in creating, in the Department of Biochemistry at Oxford, which he headed for several years. He is an emeritus fellow of Exeter College at Oxford and emeritus director of the Oxford Glycobiology Institute, which he founded. The institute gave rise to a company that became publicly listed and developed a drug - eventually approved worldwide - for Gaucher disease, a rare, genetic metabolic disorder with a much enhanced incidence among Ashkenazi Jews. A second company that arose from the institute was taken over by United Therapeutics, a $15 billion NASDAQ-listed US biotech company, of which Raymond is a Director.

Joining Jill and Doron on the 30th episode of the podcast, the eleventh of our second season, to tell us his story is British criminal defense lawyer Henry Milner. From Carmel, Henry studied law at the London School of Economics. For over forty years now, Henry has been the go-to lawyer for some of Britain's most notorious criminals. Chambers Directory described his eponymous law firm, formerly based in London’s Hatton Gardens and now in Marylebone, as “a Rolls-Royce outfit”. In his book ‘No Lawyers in Heaven’, published in the year 2020, Henry - to whom the Sunday Times referred to as 'The Mr Big of Criminal Briefs' - offers a fascinating insight into life at the top of the profession, lifting the lid on the psychology of those who end up on the wrong side of the law and those who defend them. The book includes a chapter (which can be found at https://www.carmelcollege.co.uk/the-road-from-carmel-podcast ) on Henry’s time at Carmel. He followed up with a second book, the novel ‘Murder at the Bailey’, two years later. He lives in Hampstead Garden Suburb with his wife, with whom he has two children, one a barrister, the other an abstract artist. Hear Henry talk about why - chez Milner - Shabbat often finished at 2pm, Kopul apologizing to him, bullfights in the Carmel library, his unbroken high jump record, fainting at a Stamler family occasion, his love of Americana music, and how to handle professional criminals. Thank you, Henry Milner, for turning us again to Carmel days!

He studied gemology and runs a successful fourth generation family jewelry business with a retail outlet on the famous Kaiserstrasse in the heart of Frankfurt.

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.

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.

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.

Später Spielen Später Spielen Listen Gefällt mir GelikedJoining 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.
