How a Hasidic Man With Zero Education Became a Doctor and Army Medic in Israel
Living Lchaim
Yehuda Sabiner, raised in a Gerrer Chassidic community in Jerusalem's Har Nof, was inspired by his childhood doctor to enter the medical field, ultimately becoming the first fully Chassidic doctor born in Israel. His journey is remarkable due to his humble beginnings with no formal secular education. Sabiner reflects on his experiences balancing his roles across family, faith, and professional domains, particularly following the events of October 7th when he participated in the IDF’s search and rescue missions, applying his medical expertise in crisis situations. His story highlights the integration of traditional Chassidic life with modern national service and professional accomplishments.
