About Rabbi Mordechai Abergel
Rabbi Mordechai Abergel was born in France in 1968 and grew up in Belgium. He left Belgium at 17 to study at the Rabbinical College in Morristown, New Jersey. From 1989 to 1990 he spent time in Miami as an emissary where he led outreach activities geared towards the Sephardic communities of Greater Miami.
In 1992 Rabbi Abergel received his smicha at the Tomchei Tmimim Rabbinical Seminary in Brooklyn, New York , where the world headquarters of the Chabad Lubavitch movement is also located.
Then, in 1994, Rabbi Abergel and his wife Simcha joined us in Singapore, excited to bring youthful energy and new ideas to this long established community. The Rabbi is constantly involved in promoting Jewish education and Jewish living, topics close to his heart. He is currently the principal of the Talmud Torah Hebrew School.
The Rabbi lectures widely on Judaism in Singapore, which he feels is essential to provide exposure and understanding of our views towards issues facing the world today. In whatever forum, the Rabbi comes across eloquently – he speaks Hebrew, English, Yiddish, French and Arabic. Being at a birthday with the Rabbi takes a long time because he insists on saying “happy birthday” in all 5 languages!
