Biography

Abraham was born on August 15, 1924, the son of Stella K. and Dr. Samuel Abraham. He was raised in an Orthodox Jewish home in Long Beach, New York. His father was a Zionist and follower of the Ze'ev Jabotinsky and Abraham as a teen printed his own newsletter warning Americans about the danger from the Nazis. During World War II, Abraham served in the Unites States Army in Europe.

In 1970, he moved to Israel with his wife and children where he lived through the 1973 Yom Kippur War and returned to the United States in 1978.

Abraham founded Thompson Medical, which introduced the Slim-Fast line of diet products in the late 1970s.
