Eliot grew up in Southgate in North London, and his family was very involved in the small Jewish community there, including having a Shabbat table full of guests every week.

Before making Aliyah in 2013, Eliot was Youth Director for a couple of communities in North London.

Eliot lives in Jerusalem with his wife Rena and three daughters, Emunah, Hallel, and Nili, and works in marketing.

In this episode, he discusses his life story, his transition to life in Israel, and his deep love for the land and people of Israel.

Eliot reflects on the tragic loss of his brother, Nathanel, a young soldier who was killed in combat on October 7th, sharing insights into the profound impact this had on his family.

Elliot discusses the support his family received during their unimaginable grief, the importance of unity and community, and how his brother's legacy lives on through acts of kindness and resilience.

This episode underscores the heroism of soldiers and the strength found in communal bonds amidst adversity.
