Rabbi Elie Abadie, M.D.  comes from a long and distinguished rabbinical lineage dating back to fifteenth century Spain and Provence.  Following the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492, his family migrated throughout the ages through Italy, the Balkans, Greece, Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon.

Rabbi Abadie received his Rabbinic ordination in 1986 from Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary. He graduated SUNY Downstate Medical Center in 1990 with an M.D. degree.
