Shuva Israel Ashdod

The Beating Heart of the Movement

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.

Our Mission

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.

Our Vision

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.

Our Story

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.

Shuva Israel Ashdod Center

Our Facilities & Institutions

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:

The Central Beit Midrash (Yeshiva)

Our grand study hall is the crown jewel of the Ashdod center. Day and night, the sound of Torah never ceases. It is here that hundreds of scholars, students, and visitors gather for daily prayers and the Admor’s world-renowned Shiurim. The atmosphere is one of intense spiritual focus and intellectual rigor.

The Kollel Network

Ashdod is home to an elite Kollel where married scholars dedicate their lives to advanced Talmudic and Halakhic studies. These scholars form the backbone of our spiritual community, providing a constant merit for the entire Shuva Israel family.

Educational Institutions

We believe in building the future from the ground up. Our Ashdod campus manages a network of kindergartens and primary schools, providing a “Torah-true” education for the next generation, blending academic excellence with the distinct values and ethics of the Shuva Israel heritage.

The Global Chesed Center

Shuva Israel is synonymous with charity. Our Ashdod facility operates one of the largest food distribution networks in Israel.

Through weekly food boxes, daily hot meals, and massive holiday distributions, we provide essential nutrition to Ashdod’s vulnerable families and elderly to ensure no one goes hungry.

Publishing and Outreach

The Ashdod headquarters houses our central publishing house, responsible for the printing and global distribution of the Admor’s books, pamphlets, and the “Pinto Torah” weekly publications.


The Shuva Israel Youth & Leadership Center

Under the personal direction of Rabbi Moshe Yoel Pinto, the Ashdod headquarters has become a magnetic hub for the next generation. Recognizing that the future of the community depends on its youth, this center is dedicated to providing mentorship, leadership training, and spiritual empowerment for young men and students.

A Spiritual Home for All

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.
