We're please to introduce you to
Founder & President
Rabbi Haim Ovadia >>>>
Rabbi Haim Ovadia was born and raised in Jerusalem. He was brought up on strong Zionist values and a very rich rabbinic Sephardic tradition which emphasizes the importance of Taknakh, Hebrew poetry, and general sciences alongside the study of Talmud and Halakha, and which promotes a humane, comprehensive, and inclusive approach to Judaism.
Rabbi Ovadia was ordained by Chief Rabbi Mordechai Eliyhau. He studied Talmud in Bar Ilan University and holds an MA in Hebrew Literature from UCLA. He served as a community rabbi for over thirty years in diverse communities in Israel, South America, and both Coasts. He has been a faculty member at the Academy for Jewish Religion of California, a non-denominational Rabbinical school in Los Angeles, since 2002.
Beyond his work as a community rabbi, he has engaged in social activism to promote inclusion of marginalized groups within the Jewish world, heralding a revival of the Sephardic approach which believes not only in inclusion but in finding practical Halakhic solutions and in empowerment of the people through knowledge. Using modern technology and various platforms, including podcasts, YouTube, and distant learning, Rabbi Ovadia has taught and impacted thousands of people worldwide.
