Rabbi Sam Fromson grew up in Hampstead Garden Suburb and attended North West London Jewish Day School and City of London School for Boys. He spent two years learning in Yeshiva in the Old City of Jerusalem before reading Natural Sciences at Queens’ College, Cambridge. During his time at university he kept up his sporting interests playing water-polo and squash, whilst also training with the triathlon club and trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to keep pace with the cross country team. As a student Rabbi Fromson was involved in a number of Jewish education programmes including Birthright UK, Pathways, FJL and JLE, and whilst taking a group of JFS 6th formers to Poland he met Hadassah. After marrying during their final year of studies, they lived in Cambridge, before moving to Jerusalem upon graduation, to pursue further Jewish learning. Rabbi Fromson studied for semicha in the Yeshiva University Israel Kollel and received ordination from Rabbi Zalman Nechemia Goldberg in 2013. He has since substantially completed the YU semicha programme and currently works in investment management.
