Amnon Yitzhak (; born 8 November 1953), is a Haredi Israeli rabbi. He is best known for his involvement in Orthodox Judaism outreach (Kiruv). He is involved in activities which are centered on helping Jews to become more religious or observant. In public speaking in Israel and around the world and his 'Shofar' organization distributes his lectures in various media and on the internet.〔〔 ==Biography== Amnon Yitzhak was born to Yahya Zechariah Yitzchak and Rumia Yitzchak 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, after stumbling across the sefer Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, that he received for his Bar Mitzvah. In 1986 he established the non-profit organization 'Shofar' for promoting the "return to religion" among the Jewish Israeli population.〔(Video of Yitzchak in Tel Aviv. He describes his life story therein. )〕 His lectures and other activities have made Yitzhak a prominent Israeli rabbi since the early 1990s. Through 'Shofar', Yitzhak has launched two widely distributed weekly newspapers, ''Arba Kanfot'' and ''Shofar News'' geared to the Haredi public and general public respectively. They ceased publication in 2008. In a cassette titled "In the Shadow of Democracy" he strongly criticizes the State of Israel and the leadership for their attitude towards the Mizrahi-Traditional and Haredi Jewish public, especially during the period of the Holocaust. According to Avishai Ben Haim, Ynet correspondent on Jewish Religious Affairs, Yitzhak "is considered to have a clear Zionist position, like Mizrahi newly-observant Jews - Amnon Yitzhak's primary target audience."〔 Nonetheless, he had announced his guiding and leadership (the rabbi himself was outside the political list and was not running himself to the 19th Knesset) of the Israeli political party Koah Lehashpi'a for the 2013 Knesset elections in late November 2012. His party did not pass the election threshold, and therefore did not enter to the 19th Knesset. The party received 28,000 votes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amnon Yitzhak」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
