Israel Eckstein (born November 1977) is an American national resident in England who has been a director of two UK companies and a trustee of Orthodox Jewish charities in London, including Friends Of Yeshiva Daas Sholem Shotz and Inspirations.[1][2] He is not the same person as Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein or Yael Eckstein of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
Charity trusteeships
Eckstein was named as a trustee of Friends Of Yeshiva Daas Sholem Shotz (charity number 1070789) on the charity’s 2014 and 2015 accounts and on Charity Commission snapshots archived on 5 January 2023 and 9 July 2023, together with Nochme Eckstein (also spelled Nechomo) and David Arie Aker (also spelled David Arei Aker). The Commission’s statement of results of 9 September 2026 treated that board as the former trustees in post when 66 cheques totalling £261,330 were cashed at a company in Hackney between December 2021 and March 2023; a new board was appointed in August 2024 and the charity was removed from the register on 20 January 2026.[3]
He remains a trustee of Inspirations (charity number 1109974), itself part of the same class inquiry, and of Kolel Bys Shlome Arye Trust (charity number 1091867), which the register describes as maintaining a college for advanced studies, with objects including relief of poverty and the advancement of Orthodox Jewish religion and education, area of benefit national and overseas.[2][4][5]

Osker Heiman
Osker Heiman (born May 1977, British, correspondence address 47 Bury New Road, Prestwich, Manchester M25 9JY) appears on Companies House with 5,237 appointments. On Stonechase Limited he was appointed director and resigned on the same day, 11 February 2014 — the day the company was incorporated. The same same-day appoint-and-resign pattern appears across large numbers of his filings. That is the standard footprint of a company-formation or nominee first director, not of a person running 5,000 trading businesses.[9][10]
