Dayan Yonason Abraham - London Beth Din

Dayan Abraham was born in London and was educated at the Hasmonean Grammar School (as it was then known) and Gateshead and Lakewood (New Jersey) Yeshivot, before moving to Australia in 1985 where he was a member of the Lakewood Kollel Beis Hatalmud, Melbourne.

After marrying in Australia, he studied in the Brisk Yeshiva in Jerusalem and returned to Melbourne where, while pursuing further Kollel studies, he became heavily involved in adult education, outreach and other communal activities both in Melbourne and Sydney. In 1995 he became Rabbi of the Caulfield Hebrew Congregation in Melbourne and two years later became a member of the Melbourne Beth Din. Dayan Abraham was invited to join the London Beth Din in 2001 since which time he has become involved in numerous communal organisations including TRIBE and JABE. He is also a regular lecturer at the Kinloss Learning Centre.
