THE Josh Aronson

 I'm apoligising in advance that my blog today is short , lately i've been suffering from an inflamanation of my stomach that causes me severe stomach pains which causes me to lie in bed in pain unless i'm on the toilet . NHS service is slow so until i get an appointment with a specalist I dont know what I have and how to deal with my stomach . Today actualy started fine , I slept in , got coursework done but suddenly this stomach acted up. Hopefully next week i'm up and running and we will talk more on issues that are important. I've been getting a lot of feedback of people enjoying my blogs and many are talking about my spelling and Grammer so happy to announce very shortly a very good friend of mine has offered to voluntear to edit so then that issue will be resolved , in the meantime look out for this weeks issue of the jewish weekly page 2 , my first article for jewish weekly . Getting my name out there .... Follow my socials http://www.facebook.com/josharonson...

  This week Ofer Dahari was appointed CEO of shekel organisation, Ofer was incredible to me when I first entered shekel as a scared boy and not trusting anyone after I was abused in previous Hostels I had been at. So its only fair that I dedicate this blog to Ofer and to shekel that changed my life and helped me get to where I need to be. I came to shekel very hurt and angry I felt as I did not need to be in anyplace near any organisation and like previous places I was scared I would be abused and hurt , yet I met Ofer in the offices and was accepted shortly after to shekel , I tested the councillors contently and 1 day I called the police on a councillor who confiscated my laptop in order to make me go to bed on time , I was so angry at him. Ofer sat me in his office and in the nicest possible way explained why they took my laptop and why it was wrong to call the police and I suddenly realised I was in a place that wanted to help and support me . It was a long journey , over 10 ye...

 This morning at Breakfast and in the lounge, my wife ate fruit vegetables etc. while I enjoyed a good Meat breakfast, why is that momentous , you see my wife is religious , I’m not we have compromises between us , yes I grew up in a religious home but today I’m not religious and for a while I was even very anti but that changed once I met my wife, reasons of why I left religion is not important, todays blog is about respecting others views even when they are not your own. I met my wife at a pub by a mutual friend , I spoke to her and we exchanged details , years later we met up again and the rest is history . Many people thought this wasn’t right, in fact I received a call from a big rabbi who called to dissuade me yet after a hour conversation he said to me , I'm going to do everything in my power to make this work . I think one can disagree on many notions but one must never bring that disagreements to personally hate one another , we can disagree in politics and still sit for c...

 Hello From Belgium, this Blog was supposed to be written in Manchester but God has other plans , a very well known saying is man plans God Laughs , our plane in Tel Aviv got delayed 2 hours which got us late to Brussels which made us miss our connecting flight, next flight Tomorrow at 10 am , Fun and Games.... The airline has put us in a hotel overnight and we expect to receive compensation but it gave me a opportunity to be able to teach a valuable lesson of marketing, expect the unexpected be ok with changes , as changes will happen and screw up your way of thought . But its when you think I can overcome no matter the difficulty , you will succeed . Change is a difficult aspect for people like me with autism , but also difficult for my dear wife . Every aspect of change really bothers her And gives her anxiety and her stress makes it stressful for me , but its times such as that that I try to go over and beyond to live and give for a better future and aspect , yep its difficu...

 We are coming to the end of our short sojourn in Jerusalem and i must really talk about the incredibleness of our host , because my parents now live here we wanted to stay close to them so we looked for an apartment in the neighbourhood they and my brother live , my brother sent me names of 3 possible flats and I rang them up , one of the flat owners gave a nice price for 5 days so we booked with him . Thinking of the low fee i expected a little storage house situation , but I walked into a 2nd floor 1 room flat with a small kitchenette and balcony . But what impressed me more was a small tray with coffee and tea , cola and soda and some nuts and sweets . That level of attention to detail thinking what extra can we give our guests is an incredible sense to detail and thinking over the top to bring a sense of satisfaction and happiness to the client i.e. me . I know for a fact I’ll be back here in the future and will defiantly come here before anywhere else . That extra treat is s...

 Shalom from Jerusalem , its been a packed day full of adventures and showing my wife the country I love,  Its been a crazy day between the different aspects of the city I so love . Jerusalem is a city that has so much divide yet so much unification . The different aspects and cultures blend together to make a perfect blend . I"ll always love you Jerusalem no matter where i am . I'm lucky that I know very well the mayor of Jerusalem Moshe Lion . The first time i met him was at a family Function before he became mayor as he was a city counciler and we spoke for a while and hit off , but never spoke really on a 1 to 1 . A few years later we met in Jerusalem at another family function , this time Moshe was already on his run for mayor , I didnt think he had it in him after asking questions and voted for his oponent ophir Berkovitz  Years later i was asked by Jerusalem counciler Laura Wharton whether I would be interested in meeting the Mayor on a disability photo op , obviou...

 I'm writing this blog 30,000 feet above ground aboard a Brussels airline plane with my wife next to me En route to Israel Todays Blog wont be about Marketing its going to be about an important feature of traveling with someone with autism . Most travellers don’t know about this code , I didn’t until I watched a video by Khalid Al Ameri on this valuable code , Khalid has a son with Autism and makes sure to heighten valuable aspects of living with someone with Autism , besides Khalid lives in Dubai which is incredible in the aspect of changing the names from people with Disabilities to People with Determination something which I think every country needs to learn from Dubai. The code is called DPNA , a feature that helps you in all aspects of travel 1. Security , assistance will walk you through , bypassing any lines and making sure you feel protected and secure . On board you can request on space availability to have the seat next to you empty . Staff are aware of this code an...

 Today is the anniversary of the death of my incredible Oma Mrs Clemi Sinason and I think I have to make todays blog about her as she was the epic of a lifestyle if there’s a will there’s a way and that you can go through the upmost sorrows and tribulations and still stand tall . Oma was born in Czechoslovakia as an only child to her father Avraham and mother Chaya , At a young age her family when her parents realised the Nazis were close they smuggled her to Hungary to family to be safe but alas Budapest was conquered and Oma was taken to Auschwitz . In the camp she worked and laboured until one day she was sent to the death queue but suddenly standing there in the group destined to die she had a change of will and she ran across to the group selected to continue living and for some reason no one challenged her . Oma survived the camps even when she met by chance her own mother who was sent there too and where she learnt her father had died when he discovered that his only d...

 Today I had a driving lesson with my incredible driving instructor Carin Bowman and we drove onto the main road , for me Driving lessons is a major accomplishment , you see in Israel i was denied for 1 reason only "your autism doesn’t allow you to control a car" , I love Israel so much but somehow their way of thinking is always backwords , an expression I use often in Israel they push you so hard until you fall but once you fall its those people who made you fall that are running to pick you up, so the fact in the UK I have a chance to get a licence and then go back to the Israelis and say hey see I can drive, hey its possible . My driving is taking a dream and pushing till you get it , no dream is impossible its just working on that goal until you succeed . In driving when you turn you check mirrors , slow down , position and turn and check mirrors again . And that is also a position in life goals , check your facts , what’s behind , slow down in life in areas of goals ,...

This weekend I made a mistake, I ordered a Tesco Delivery and when it arrived I saw they had substituted a 24 roll of Toilet paper with a 12 roll and were charging me same price , I said wait a minute and called Tesco whom said to me “you’re correct , keep the 12 pack and we’ll send you a full refund” Now that wasn’t my mistake , my Mistake I was so proud of the fact and remembering when i lived in Israel customer Service was non existent I posted on Facebook Group Brits Living in Israel , now if you’re not aware of this fantastic group which has 9000 members and growing , then you should, this group shows what Facebook is a place to help and support fellow Brits and others too, this group single handily helped when the brits were forced into Covid hotels with no prior notice , or raffle off British goods and deliciousties to support charities or helping Brits navigate the bureaucracies of Israeli lifestyle or even answer the old age question, where can a Brit find Heinz baked beans in...

 Today I returned to an old Habit , 6 years I've been smoke free , today I brought myself a e cigarette , and I want to explain why . De-stressing , I have been undergoing a lot of stress lately trying to find a Job in UK, exams in university , dealing with marriage, and dealing with other personal health issues . Its just been too much and I remember the rush and de stress of blowing in and out that cigarettes gave me . Stress is something that’s difficult to deal with I sometimes just want to smash a chair against the wall , or hit someone who's annoying me . I want that people I work with a long time and go over and beyond for them when they have a conference to think of me and not pay flights and hotels for someone who goes seemingly and takes your spot. Recently someone asked in a party to share something I never tell and my answer was the feeling that i give to everyone but don’t get in return , the feeling that i give 24/7 to everyone but when I need something I’m alone ...

 Today I went to a eye test , and it got me thinking , I can't see a thing without my glasses in fact without it I’m totally blind , my glasses come off and if don't see a thing , put my specs on and Walla i see it all . Now thinking that that’s true in life as well we pass by opportunities as we don’t see it as we are too engrossed in other aspects . Look at my love life for example my wife is religious, I grew up religious but today i'm the opposite , I eat non kosher and don't keep Shabbat but I have compromises with my wife, now to think if I would have not seen that option of compromise and said to myself I'm not going out with a religious girl I would still be single today...... Sometimes though we can be blind also by our career , Just today I met a man lets call him Lenny, its a alias but Lenny was a top singer , people came from all over to hear him sing , he flew around the world for his craft and was widely revered , yet in his height of power he committ...

 Its been one of these days , body aching , tiredness and was just about to call it a night when I remembered you my readers ....  I promised Hillel I"ll do a daily blog and however tired i"ll still do it which is a perfect subject  Dont give up, commit ....  We all get that tiredness, that feeling of you know what lets just try a different route . That is your confort zone calling , that is you at that point saying hell who cares , how many people will read this anyhow . But you never know . When I was looking for my carrear to hit off I heard of Danny Cohen then world Director of BBC , I sent him an email with my lifestory and said to myself he's world director of world biggest TV , I"ll never hear from him. But I did and he connected me to his staff which brought me to an internship at Shiver Productions with BBC and ITV an wxperiance like no other . When I was younger someone said to me some people with Autism dont get married its ok , I said it will Happen and i...

 Today I watched Ryan Trahan, if you dont know who he is you"ll soon know, the Youtuber decided to travel across America on a goal of bringing a penny to Mr Beast , now he isnt just documenting his journey hes created some momentual markerting pitches in this epic adventure ,  The goal traveling on 1 penny , he has to earn money from that penny to travel , the goal is feeding America , 1 doller raised is 1 meal for a kid . But hes added some bits to create hardship . If someone donates which has been done already 50,000 dollers , he has to reset to 1 penny although he gets to keep his ivontary which so far includes, blankets a hammok hygine products and a food gift card ,  Markerting pitches  Used here is using mr beast a monster in influencer markets (hit me up Jimmy lets colabarate....)  Using a trend that has been talked about for a while hungry Kids (Marcus Rashford, I'm a Manchester United Season ticket Holder talk to me lets collab....)  Creating a b...

Today I took the day off and caught up on episodes I missed on Britains got talent,  I love Britains got talent not only because of Ant and Decs impecable presenting or the camandirie of the Judges . The talents on the stage as usual outdid themselves bringing credit to Simon cowells marketing stratagy Dreams sells ...... We all know Joseph in the bible " I have a dream" but to be truth not only did Joseph dream everyone dreams only difference is what you dream on .and how you achieve that dream  I once heard something powerful , if God turns to you and says you can exchange with everyone in the world , you can be Elon Musk, Richard Branson or Mark Zuckerberg but at the same time you must take their problems you"ll always take your own as everyone has their own struggles and problems that they themselves can manage . So how can one achieve their dreams ?  I think in order to achieve to get ones dreams one has to go beyond themselves to push their own barriers . One ca...

 I'm currently in Israel on a 48 hour sojourn for exams in University and was scrowling through my social media when i saw a post by Sarah Tuttle Singer that she"ll be in Pomaranz bookstore in Jerusalem in a book signing event with Only the famous author Tuvia Tenenbom  ..... I knew i was taking an exam that day and at first thought to myself an exam takes toll afterwords relax but said to myself no she made a effort came to my bachalors party , I need to make an effort for her . Unfortunatly when i came sarah had gone due to personal issues  but i got to spend time with Tuvia and shared with him my lifestory. That in my eyes is networking , by making connections by being spontanius and by giving a pitch elevator killer speech ,  For those unfamilier with the pitch elevator method imagine you enter a elevator , your hero enters same elevator you have 15 seconds to make him want to have coffee with you what do you say to him?  Life is a journey you meet so m...

I am the 7th son of 14 siblings.  And today I work as a Maariv journalist and also write in Shavvim Forum I recently married an amazing girl from England also with disabilities and returned to live in England. I also served in Israel as a coordinator for people with disabilities, I also worked in the communications department of  Keren Hayesod United United Israel Fund and I also served as chairman of the political  Meretz party in the Jerusalem branch. I used to work for Shiver productions I also volunteer on the board of directors of the Keep Olim association and volunteer in Magen Lakehilot organasation  all while I am st...
