Torah Alef embodies the spiritual legacy of Yosef HaTzadik — the living tradition of the Ten Tribes, the Bnei Moshe

Accordingly, the Chief Rabbinate has appointed ambassadors charged with giving tangible expression to our ever‑extended hand — the hand of Torat Alef, the archetypal heritage of the Ten Tribes under the banner of Yosef HaTzadik, the children of Moshe — so that our actions remain in harmony with the entirety of the Jewish world, both religious and secular, as well as with the authorities and representatives of the State of Israel.

This is a historic moment; the task ahead is enormous.

We are ready to see African Israelite spirituality make a resounding entrance — through the wisdom it will produce and the exemplary standards its representatives will embody.

For ethics and morality take precedence over strict legal observance when such observance lacks example.

We will also mark our presence by offering, to Africans of all origins and religions, friendship, support, and assistance on social and economic levels.

Africa is our village, and the bonds that unite us transcend religion, which is but one form of spiritual choice.

Thus, the “Black man,” the Pan‑African, can succeed where Europe has failed: by living in harmony, setting aside religious wars, and refusing to let religion become, as perceived in the mind of Marx, “the opiate of the people.”

For it is through the Noussah Afriki that the true understanding and application of the Torah SheBe‘Al Peh — the Oral Torah — and the genuine Kabbalah (that which studies the divine only for the sake of perfecting Halakhah — the Kabbalah of the Ari HaKadosh, the legacy of Rabbi Shim‘on bar Yo‘haï) will regain their former brilliance.

It was once usurped by those who distorted and impoverished it in the steppes of Eastern Europe, forging a Chassidut that our master, the Gaon of Vilna, had already recognized as dangerous.

For that reason, in his lifetime, this harmful dilution of Kabbalah — namely Chassidut — was placed under total excommunication.

Our Vision and Mission is restoration through the Great Tikkun of Reunification— L’Shem Yichud.

The Chief Rabbinate of Africa stands as the spiritual heart of the Nusach Afriki. Far from a reformation or reinvention, the sacred Rabbinical liturgical tradition of the African (including those scattered in galut across the Diaspora due to the horrors of the TransAtlantic and TransSaharan slave trades) is our ancient tradition preserved through our cultural customs throughout time. Reconnection and Reorientation through our Eliezar Program and our Rabbinical School, proves that the halacha has always been the ways of our ancestors across the African continent and Diaspora. Our Nusach affirms we are not the Ten “Lost” Tribes, rather, we are fully aware through the confirmation and affirmation of the writings of our most lauded and revered Sages, that we remain, till this day, the representatives of the archetype of the Ten Tribes of Israel under the aegis of Yosef, whom, as announced in Ezekiel 39:7, are reconnecting to the staff of Judah in a union that preserves the original beauty of Torah as preserved by our ancestors.

Here, we affirm the noble and royal heritage of the African Orthodoxy, in the Nusach of the authentic MeKubalim, as we revive the divine rhythm of Kedushah as revelation of the Ohr HaGanuz— a heritage never lost, only deliberately obscured, to be revealed For Such A Time As This.
