A symbol of rabbinic and personal leadership. Sephardi Orthodox Rabbi and Torah scholar in Israel. In recent years, Rav Amsellem played a key role in supporting “Seed of Israel” people in general, and Bnei Anusim in particular through their journey back into the Jewish people. He willingly and whole-heartedly took upon himself a large part of the religious support needed to accomplish this immense task – travelling to communities, guiding community rabbis, conducting Jewish ceremonies, and much more. One of the pinnacles of his activity is the Beit Din he established in Jerusalem, overseeing the conversions of Seed of Israel people, where he serves as the Av Beit Din.
