It was founded almost 35 years ago at the initiative of a group of French-speaking immigrants living in the Bakah neighborhood and its environs. 

​

The community's goal is to perpetuate values and a way of life based on love for the people of Israel and its land. 

​

Over the years, the community grew and became a magnet for many of the neighborhood's residents. 

Today, many new immigrant families choose their home based on proximity to the Emunah Chlelema synagogue. 

​

The Sephardic community was led from its inception by Rabbi Ben Yehuda Ben Yishai, one of the most prominent figures of Judaism in Israel. 

​

He instills in our community its essential values based on love of Torah, the land and the people of Israel.
