Yaron Gottlieb is a rabbi and activist located in Melbourne, Australia. He has been active in a number of smaller communities around Australia.[1][2] He has frequently been an outspoken opponent of the mainstream Orthodox rabbinate in Australia, targeting them for their actions with regards to child sex abuse, attempts to centralise the power of the rabbinate.[3][4]
During the 2013 Australian federal election, Gottlieb broke the news that the local member Michael Danby had published 2 how to vote cards, one for the significant Jewish population of his electorate,[5] which was reported on in the international press.[6][7] The incident was an embarrassment for Danby, who won the safe Labor seat with a reduced majority.
Gottlieb is a Zionist and citizen of Israel, yet has called for Jews in Australia to remain loyal to the country they live in.[8][9]
