Biographie de David Nossel

David Nossel is a rabbi, an author, an educator and a medical doctor. Raised in South Africa in a traditional Jewish home he discovered the world of Jewish observance and Torah thought during his university student days. After obtaining his degrees in both science (B. Sc.) and medicine (MBBCh.) and completing his medical internship he travelled to Israel to explore the depth of Torah study in the great Yeshivot of Jerusalem.
There he remained for close to twenty years. During this time he studied under some of the foremost Torah thinkers and leaders of the generation. Upon becoming a Rabbi he authored a book on the Hebrew language, developed a system of Talmudic analysis, taught in a number of prominent Yeshivot and Seminaries in Jerusalem and lectured internationally. He and his South African born wife then decided to return with their children to their families and their former community in South Africa.
Upon his return Rabbi Nossel has served as a community rabbi, trained as a marriage therapist, authored a book on marriage, lectured in medical ethics and has re-entered the field of clinical medicine. He is uncovering the exciting new field of Life Medicine which looks at the life messages that illnesses and their treatments have to offer. Rabbi Dr Nossel feels privileged to be able to combine his abilities as a rabbi, an author, an educator and a medical doctor to be of benefit to others.
