    In this episode of the Jewish Professionals Podcast, we sit down with Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman, the fifth President of Yeshiva University, to explore his journey from student to one of the most influential leaders in the Jewish world. President Berman shares the formative experiences that shaped his path, including his decision to turn down Columbia Law School to pursue years of Torah study in Israel.

We go inside what it truly means to lead a major institution, from navigating high-pressure decisions and growing the university to strengthening the broader Jewish community and helping students reach their highest potential. President Berman also shares behind-the-scenes moments, including speaking at the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump and engaging with world leaders and public figures. The conversation is full of insights on leadership, responsibility, and balancing Torah with modern life, along with the lessons from both science and Torah that he believes every Jewish professional should carry forward.

  • Ari Lefkovits: The Power of Listening Mentorship, and 25 Years in Banking

    Ari Lefkovits: The Power of Listening Mentorship, and 25 Years in Banking
    Mar 12 2026
    In this episode of the Jewish Professionals Podcast, we sit down with Ari Lefkovits, Managing Partner at Delos Capital, to discuss his journey through investment banking, advisory, and private markets. Ari grew up in New York and attended Dartmouth College, where he learned one of the most important skills that would shape his career: how to truly listen. He later went on to earn his law degree from Stanford Law School, but ultimately found himself drawn to the world of finance rather than practicing law. Lazard became the launching point of his career, where he spent roughly 25 years advising companies, boards, investors, and governments on some of the most complex transactions in global finance. During the conversation, Ari reflects on lessons from decades in high-stakes advisory roles across both New York and London, and his recent move to the buy side at Delos Capital. He shares insights on the power of listening, the importance of working hard and building trusted relationships, and how mentorship and diverse experiences shape long-term success. From navigating complex restructurings to developing a thoughtful career path, Ari offers practical advice for students and young professionals looking to build meaningful careers in finance and beyond.
