Amnon Yitzhak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rabbi Amnon Yitzhak (אמנון יצחק) (b. 1954), is a well-known Orthodox Haredi Israeli rabbi of Yemenite origin.
Rabbi Yitzhak is widely involved in "kiruv" ("bringing [secular Jews] closer [to Orthodox Judaism]"). He is the head of the 'Shofar' organization, which, among other activities, distributes his lectures on audio and video cassettes around the globe. Although he does not issue halakhic opinions, these activities made Yithzak a prominent Israeli rabbi since the early 1990s.
Rabbi Yitzhak was born in Tel Aviv, Israel to a Yemenite Jewish family. He was brought up in a non-religious home, and became religious at the age of 24. Eight years later he established the Shofar organization for promoting the "return to religion" amongst the Jewish Israeli population.
