Jonathan Markovitch
Rabbi Jonathan Benyamin Markovitch (Ukrainian: Йонатан Бін'ямін Маркович, romanized: Yonatan Biniamin Markovych; born 21 October 1967) is the Chief Rabbi of Kyiv, the principal Chabad emissary in the city, and the Rabbi of Ukraine's prison system.
Rabbi Markovitch was born in 1967 in Uzhhorod (Ukraine),[citation needed] into a rabbinic family. His maternal grandfather, Rabbi Yechezkel Feivel Oestreicher, served as a rabbi and shochet in the city.
At the age of three, his family immigrated to Israel. During his youth, he studied at a Chabad Talmud Torah and later attended the Chabad Yeshiva in Kiryat Gat. He continued his studies at the Kfar Ganim Yeshiva under Rabbi Zucker.
In 1985, Rabbi Markovitch enlisted in the Israeli Air Force, where he served for 12 years as an aircrew officer, achieving the rank of major before being discharged.
He received rabbinic ordination from Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, the Chief Military Rabbinate, Rabbi Eliyahu Abergel, and several prominent Chabad Rabbis, including Rabbi Levi Bistritzky of Zefat and Rabbi Yitzchak Yehuda Yeruslavsky.
In addition to his Torah studies, Rabbi Markovitch holds a bachelor's degree in computer science from the Technion in Haifa and a master's degree in education from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
In 2000, Rabbi Markovitch and his family moved to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, where they established educational institutions and organized community events for the Jewish population.
After being appointed as the Chief Rabbi of Kyiv and the leading Chabad emissary, he and his wife developed local Jewish community institutions that includes a Chabad center, a kindergarten, and a private Jewish school (Perlina). They also established a specialized kindergarten for children with disabilities, open to both Jews and non-Jews, a kosher certification system, youth programs, an Israeli Chabad center, and a comprehensive humanitarian aid network. This network distributes food, clothing, and medicine to thousands of elderly and needy individuals throughout the year.
