Gedaliah first began attending Caulfield Shule in 1994 at the age of seven. Over the past two decades, he has been a regular and active congregant, and celebrated both his Bar Mitzvah and Aufruf on the Caulfield Shule premises. He has many fond memories of growing up in Caulfield Shule, most notably singing on the bimah with Chazzan Braun. Since 2005 he has served as the Baal Koreh in the Main Shule and has also assumed numerous other roles in the Klei Kodesh department. These include leading the High Holiday services in Or Chadash and the Overflow Minyan, assisting Rabbi Genende on occasion with visiting the sick and elderly in private homes, hospitals and nursing homes, performing or assisting with wedding and funeral ceremonies, delivering periodic Shiurim, and most recently, leading the Hebrew Reading crash course.

Gedaliah takes pride in his involvement with Caulfield Shule, and feels that his attachment to the Shule in no small measure inspired his career in Jewish Education. He currently teaches VCE Classical Hebrew and Jewish Studies Support lessons at Yesodei HaTorah College, and spends his evenings tutoring Bar Mitzvah boys who hail from across a broad spectrum of the Melbourne Jewish community.

Gedaliah is married to Esti, and together they have two beautiful children, Miri and Yudi.
