Who are the Israelis?

Rabbi Yehudah Bibas & His Revolutionary Insight

Over 180 years ago, a visionary Sephardic rabbi — Rabbi Yehuda Bibas — introduced a radical idea that would change the course of Jewish history: teshuvah isn’t only personal — it’s national.

His insight was nearly lost to history, until it resurfaced in the writings of Rabbi Yehuda Alkalai and inspired early Zionist thought.What was this revolutionary concept of “collective teshuvah”, and why is it more relevant now than ever?In this eye-opening lecture, Rabbi Moshe Elharar explores Rabbi Bibas's bold interpretation of the verse:“Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God” (Hosea 14:2)Through Torah sources, Zohar, and history, Rabbi Elharar shows how Rabbi Bibas saw the return to Eretz Yisrael as the starting point of true national repentance — a spiritual awakening that begins with coming home.

 
The Book of Leviticus is not history—it’s the future.

The Temple Will Return. So Will the Sacrifices.

Sounds ancient? Irrelevant?

Think again.

 
Can Israel redefine global values? Rabbi Oury Cherki presents a bold vision of justice and compassion as united forces, countering Western narratives shaped by centuries of Christian morality. Reflecting on Israel’s wars and the synergy within its society, this lecture invites us to see Israel as a beacon of hope and a challenge to global norms.

 
Was Moses a myth—or a missing Pharaoh?

In this groundbreaking lecture, Rabbi Oury Cherki makes the bold claim that Moshe Rabbeinu was a documented historical figure, rooted not only in Torah tradition but also in Egyptian archaeology, biblical chronology, and the erasures of dynastic history.

By aligning the date of the Exodus (1476 BCE) with known Egyptian rulers, Rabbi Cherki identifies Moses with Ahmose, the liberator of Egypt from the Hyksos. Through meticulous sourcing, critical analysis, and Midrashic insight, the lecture paints a riveting picture of Moses' double identity—as a Hebrew prophet and an Egyptian royal.
