Rabbi Abrams was raised in a home that was always open to Jews of all backgrounds. His mother was an NCSY leader and his father was a rabbi and principal involved in Jewish education for youth. In 2002, Rabbi Abrams married Hudy Abraham, who joined him in Jerusalem where they trained for three years together under Rabbi Berkovitz, head of the Jerusalem Kollel. This unique program is designed to train rabbinic students to become leaders and develop Jewish communities. He received Smicha (rabbinic ordination) from Rabbi Berkovitz in 2004. Hudy also attended classes taught by Rebbitzin Dina Weinberg, the wife of Aish Ha-Torah founder Rabbi Noah Weinberg on leadership, parenting, marriage counseling and life coaching. While in Yeshiva in Israel, Rabbi Abrams knew that he wanted to create a warm Torah atmosphere in a place where there were many Jews.
