Dina Rabinovitch

Dina Rabinovitch (9 June 1963[1] – 30 October 2007) was a British journalist and writer who wrote a column for The Guardian.

An Orthodox Jew, she lived in London with her children and her second husband, renowned litigation lawyer Anthony Julius. Her father is the prominent Halakhist Rabbi Dr. Nahum Rabinovitch of Maale Adumim in Israel. Dina was the fifth of six children, and the mother of four children of her own.

Breast cancer activist

Rabinovitch, who died of breast cancer on 30 October 2007, aged 44, wrote regular columns describing her cancer-related experiences. These columns were published as the book Take Off Your Party Dress in March 2007. Proceeds from the sale of the book go to the CTRT Appeal [1], a million-pound appeal to set up a cancer trials research centre at Mount Vernon Hospital in London.
