Eli Hagler, host and producer of The OU Presents: The Jewish Reaction<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Once a week you\u2019ll find Eli Hagler in the radio studio down the hall from his office at OU headquarters in lower Manhattan. An energetic, articulate personality with a curious, charming nature, Eli is associate director of the Orthodox Union\u2019s Yachad \/ National Jewish Council for Disabilities. He uses his experiences in that position to perform some other responsibilities: He engages with a global audience as host and producer of The OU Presents: The Jewish Reaction.<\/em> It\u2019s heard weekly on the Nachum Segal Network (NSN) where Eli discusses events and topics both within the OU and affecting the greater Jewish community.<\/p>\n

The hour-long show features interviews and musical selections, either related to the topic at hand or favorites chosen by his guests. It airs Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. ET on www.nachumsegal.com<\/em><\/a> and on the NSN app, which is a free download for both iOS and Android devices. The OU Presents: The Jewish Reaction<\/em>, and the rest of the Nachum Segal Network\u2019s extensive weekly program schedule are archived as well, and available on demand and in podcast form.<\/p>\n

\"Nachum<\/a>
Nachum Segal, front left, hosted JM in the AM<\/em> live from the
ING Miami Marathon and Half-Marathon with Team Yachad.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The network begins each program day at 6:00 a.m. with JM in the AM<\/em>, a morning-drive music and talk program hosted by Nachum Segal that is now in its 31st year. Nachum is internationally known and his studio has become a must-visit for political figures and other prominent individuals. A champion of the accomplishments of the Jewish people and a friend and partner of the Orthodox Union, Nachum brought JM in the AM<\/em> last December to the Seymour J. Abrams Jerusalem World Center, headquarters of OU Israel; and the year before to the finish lines of the Miami and Jerusalem Marathons, cheering on Team Yachad. Last year a live edition of The Stunt Show<\/em>, one of the online network\u2019s weekly programs, originated from OU headquarters. OU leaders are regular guests on JM in the AM<\/em> and other network programs in addition to The OU Presents: The Jewish Reaction<\/em>.<\/p>\n

As a student at Yeshiva University, Eli assisted at a weekly radio show on WYUR (the university\u2019s radio station), but it was his laid-back demeanor and passion for connecting with others that drew Nachum Segal\u2019s attention when Yachad arranged for JM in the AM<\/em> to air live from the ING Miami Half-Marathon in January 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cEli brings a combination of professional experience and youthful enthusiasm to our microphone on a weekly basis,\u201d Nachum said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is something very intimate about radio,\u201d added Miriam L. Wallach, general manager of the Nachum Segal Network, who invited Eli to join the NSN team. \u201cPeople recognize Eli\u2019s voice. He engages his listeners with his choice of language in posing questions and with the finesse of his words, and they react positively to it all.\u201d<\/p>\n

A native of the Village of Lawrence, on New York\u2019s Long Island, Eli is a graduate of the Davis Renov Stahler Yeshiva High School for Boys (DRS) and earned a degree from the Sy Syms School of Business at Yeshiva University. In his primary role at Yachad, which promotes the inclusion of those with special needs within the broad Jewish community, Eli is responsible for ensuring the ongoing programmatic and educational success of Yachad in making sure that every Jew, with or without special needs, has a rightful place within the broad Jewish community.\u00a0 After completing his undergraduate degree in Business Management and Real Estate, Eli continued to work at Yeshiva University for five years \u2014 first serving as the Ronald P. Stanton Presidential Fellow in the Office of Student Affairs, and then as the assistant director of Undergraduate Admissions. After a year of study towards an MBA at CUNY Baruch\u2019s Zicklin School of Business, Eli transferred to Baruch\u2019s Masters of Public Administration program in order to focus on the non-profit world. He currently resides in Riverdale with his wife, Shani, a physician, and their three year-old daughter, Ava.<\/p>\n

This January will be his 4th<\/sup> Miami Half-Marathon with Team Yachad.<\/p>\n

As a young husband and father, a working professional, a passionate Jew, a loyal friend, and an outgoing advocate, Eli keeps his finger on the pulse of many Jewish communities around the NY\/NJ area and across the country. Topics he\u2019s discussed recently from behind the microphone include the latest activities to promote Inclusion in synagogues and schools, advocacy toward tuition affordability, awareness of alcohol safety, better understanding of Jewish prayer, and even preparing children for camp.<\/p>\n

\"Eli<\/a>Now in its third season, The Jewish Reaction<\/em> has become a key part of the programming on the Nachum Segal Network, according to Miriam Wallach.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe show provides insight into and educates our audience about the vast array of programs and services that the Orthodox Union provides to Jews around the world, \u201d she said, \u201cand without sounding preachy or promotional. Eli\u2019s warm and engaging style make us very proud of this program and its professionalism and creative content.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coming up at 9:00 am ET on Tuesday Nov. 11, and Tuesday, Nov. 18, Eli will air a two-part roundtable discussion addressing the \u201csingles crisis within the Jewish community.\u201d The program will ask, first of all, if there is such a crisis, and then look at what we, as a community, can or should do about it. \u00a0The programs will feature Rebbetzin Judi Steinig, associate director of OU Community Services; Marc Goldman, CEO and founder of SawYouAtSinai; Mindy Eisenman, staff connector at YUConnects; and Derek Saker, cofounder of Frumster (which became JWed).<\/p>\n

\u201cProgramming like the upcoming two-part series on singles highlights why the Orthodox Union is proud to sponsor the program, and why Eli is the right guy to host it,\u201d said Mayer Fertig, the OU\u2019s chief communications officer. He is a longtime occasional substitute for Nachum Segal on JM in the AM<\/em>, as well as part of a rotation of hosts for an NSN program called The Stunt Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In 2013 Eli appeared on a live edition of The Stunt Show,<\/em> which that week took place at the OU\u2019s offices, when he was challenged to a table tennis match by Estee Ackerman, a nationally-ranked player from West Hempstead, N.Y. She was still in middle school at the time and had just attracted very positive national attention for declining to compete on Shabbat in an important and lucrative championship tournament. \u201cShe destroyed me, but it was a fun experience,\u201d reflected Eli. \u201cIt was entertaining, and that\u2019s the hope\u2014to get people interested in participating, listening, learning something new.\u201d<\/p>\n

And listen they do.<\/p>\n

\"Jewish<\/a>As a producer of quality online radio programming, NSN uses a commonly accepted industry method called aggregate tuning hours (ATH) to gauge listenership. \u201cWe’ve seen progressive growth into this season and, as of last month, have been enjoying our largest listenership ever,\u201d Miriam Wallach revealed.<\/p>\n

By researching downloads via online archives, NSN is tracking a steady uptick in listenership for Eli\u2019s show. \u201cWe get a tremendous amount of anecdotal feedback from listeners and people who are drawn to Eli and enjoy what he is doing,\u201d Wallach said. \u201cHe raises the bar for an online show to a very high level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Be sure to get your own reaction each Tuesday at 9:00 am ET, right after JM in the AM<\/em>. Feel free to contact Eli with thoughts, ideas, and show topic suggestions, or to share an idea at HaglerE@ou.org<\/em><\/a> or Eli@nachumsegal.com<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
