Public hearings into child sexual abuse at a Jewish community centre and school will continue in Melbourne with testimony from the father of a victim.

Zephaniah Waks, a Royal Commission heard on Monday, was forced to move to Israel after being shunned by Melbourne’s Yeshivah community after his son Manny Waks went public with details of how he was sexually abused at Yeshivah College.

Two abuse victims, and the wife of a victim, all who are known only by pseudonyms, are also expected to give evidence as the hearings continue on Tuesday.
