Rabbi Dovid Rubinfeld – Chief Minister
Chief Minister of MHC since 2002, Rabbi Rubinfeld has actually been with the Congregation since 1989, when he assumed the position of Cantor, remaining in that position until his assumption of the chief Rabbinical role in 2002.


Born in Belgium, but raised and educated initially in the USA (New York City), with further studies in Israel, Rabbi Rubinfeld settled in Australia in 1973.

Renowned for both his wonderful operatic voice, as well as his irreverent sense of humour, Rabbi Rubinfeld, who has substantial religious knowledge, has endeared himself to the Congregation and the wider community, and still retains his Cantorial status while Chief Minister, ably assisted by the team of the Chazan Sheni, Baal Koreh, and Choir.

The Rabbi and his lovely wife Miriam, whilst fixtures here, frequently visit the USA where their children, and now some grandchildren, reside.
