The Ashdod World Headquarters serves as the spiritual epicenter and the foundation of the global Shuva Israel network. From this coastal city, the light of the Pinto and Abuhatzeira dynasties radiates outward, touching tens of thousands of lives through Torah study, profound acts of Chesed, and communal leadership.
Every time we gather in the yeshiva in Ashdod, we arouse the merit of all the good deeds, learning, classes, and acts of kindness that were done in the yeshiva throughout Shuva Israel’s three decades,"
Under the guidance and vision of the Admor, Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto, the daily operations and spiritual direction of the Ashdod headquarters are led by his eldest son and successor, Rabbi Moshe Yoel Pinto, Shlita.
To cultivate a vibrant youth movement led by Rabbi Moshe Yoel Pinto, focusing on moral excellence, leadership, and a deep-rooted pride in our Sephardic heritage.
From our headquarters in Ashdod, we strive to ignite a spark of holiness in every Jewish heart, ensuring that no individual is left behind—spiritually or physically.
Founded over 30 years ago by the Admor, Rabbi Yoshiyahu Yosef Pinto. What started in a modest study hall quickly transformed into a global phenomenon. Ashdod was chosen as the "home base"—the anchor for what would become dozens of branches across the globe.
A dynamic and revered leader in his own right, Rabbi Moshe Yoel is the driving force behind the expansion of the Ashdod institutions. Known for his profound Torah lectures and his deep connection to the youth, he oversees the complex’s spiritual growth, ensuring that the ancient wisdom of the holy ancestors is made accessible to the modern generation.
The Ashdod campus is a sprawling hub of activity, housing multiple departments that cater to the soul, the mind, and the physical needs of the community:
Beyond the buildings and the logistics, Shuva Israel Ashdod is a home. Whether it is the uplifting Seuda Shlishit (the Third Sabbath Meal) led by the Rabbis, or the personal advice and blessings sought by people from all walks of life—from world leaders to local residents—the doors of Ashdod are always open.
