OAKLEIGH Police have gained a new rabbinical recruit.

Rabbi Daniel Rabin transferred to the station late last year as chaplain, having previously served in Moorabbin and Bayside.

“It is a great privilege to work in my role as a chaplain to Victoria Police,” he told The AJN, adding, “Police members work day in and day out to protect the community and to be able to assist in helping them in some small way is a wonderful honour.”

Rabbi Rabin, who recently began his tenure as senior rabbi at Caulfield Shule, said he’s already met a number of the Oakleigh officers. “It was a busy few weeks leading into the New Year, getting to know many of the members there and now that the quiet summer period is over I look forward to resuming my regular visits to the station.”
