FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why restore the Sanhedrin today?

Because the Torah itself provides for a central authority of sages in each generation to judge, advise, and teach. According to Maimonides (Rambam), “There is a commandment to appoint judges and officers in every city and generation” (Hilkh. Sanhedrin 1:1). This authority must be respected, not as nostalgia for the past, but as a pillar of the future. In a divided world, Israel needs a moral and unifying authority, above political and community divisions, to inform major decisions.

2. Why did previous attempts fail?

Many attempts have been made, notably by Rav Kook in the early 20th century, Rav Adin Steinsaltz in 2004, and even Napoleon in 1806. Each had its own context, but lacked a true popular base, unity among the sages, or national and international support. Today, the world is ripe for this new and ancestral voice. Technology is bringing sages together, consciences are opening, and the need for justice is becoming urgent.

3. Should the Messiah come before or after the Sanhedrin?

The Rambam teaches that restoring the Sanhedrin is a mitzvah in itself, independent of the coming of the Messiah... It may therefore precede the messianic advent; according to some opinions, it even prepares for it.

4. Does a non-religious person have a place in this project?

Absolutely. This project is for all the children of Israel... to become an institution that honors Israel and touches hearts with its counsel, pragmatic grounding, and connection to reality.

5. The Sanhedrin as a universal bridge according to Kabbalistic sources?

Contrary to a purely national or legal vision, the masters of Kabbalah present the Sanhedrin as a spiritual structure of universal scope. It is not only a council for Israel, but a channel of connection and reparation between Israel and the nations. Several fundamental sources underline this dimension.

1. Zohar (Zohar III, 125b)
“The seventy elders of the Sanhedrin correspond to the seventy peoples of the world, and all are connected to the same source.”
The Zohar teaches that the Sanhedrin is not an internal tribunal, but a cosmic system: it reflects the profound unity between Israel and all of humanity.

2. Rav Yitzchak Luria (Ari zal), Shaar HaPsoukim, Devarim 17:9
“The seventy members of the Sanhedrin correspond to the seventy nations, and Israel repairs their way by their judgments.”
The Ari zal sees in the Sanhedrin the tool of the tikkoun, the spiritual repair of the world, which comes through just and sacred judgment.

3. Ramrhal (Rav Moshe Chaim Luzzatto), Derekh Hashem IV, 4:7
“Israel was chosen to be the center, and from them will come forth the Torah and morality for other nations, to guide them in the way of the Lord.”
For the Ramrhal, this universal mission of Israel cannot be achieved without a central institution capable of guaranteeing it: the Sanhedrin.

4. Maharal of Prague, Tiferet Israel, chapter 17
“The seventy elders [of the Sanhedrin] correspond to the seventy nations, to show that all nations receive their vitality from Israel.”
The Maharal regards the Sanhedrin as the living spiritual center of humanity, transmitting guidance and blessing throughout Israel.

5. Rav Kook, Mishpat Kohen, §342
“The Sanhedrin must return and be a light to the nations, a source of Torah and moral knowledge for the whole world.”
Rav Kook makes it clear that the Sanhedrin's vocation is global. In our generation, it must once again become an ethical and prophetic light for all humanity.

Conclusion
According to Kabbalistic tradition, the Sanhedrin is not an inward-looking institution, but a universal axis. It represents a cosmic mirror of nations, a channel of reparation, a source of vitality and morality for the world. It is indispensable for leading humanity toward messianic unity, channeling the blessing of Israel to all nations.

6. What about Muslims?

According to the Quran (Surah 5:44): “We have revealed the Torah, wherein is guidance and light...” Israel is recognized as a people of guidance and justice... a project of reconciliation and prophetic clarity.

7. And Christians?

The Sanhedrin was in place at the time of Jesus and recognized as an authority... the nations would recognize this process (Isaiah 2; Micah 4) and “the Torah will go forth from Zion.”

8. What about atheists?

It’s also a matter of reason... to become an institution that honors Israel and touches hearts with its counsel, pragmatic grounding, and connection to reality.

9. Is this a political project?

This project is not affiliated with any political party. It stands above politics, in continuity with a national spiritual tradition. Its decisions may nonetheless inform public life by offering ethical guidance, calls for justice, and concrete recommendations to address our society’s dysfunctions.

10. Is it compatible with democracy?

Yes—fully. The Sanhedrine does not seek to replace the government, but to provide moral guidance. It can serve in an advisory capacity—as a “national conscience”—and adopt decisions in spiritual, ethical, and social-justice matters.

11. What is the final goal?

To restore Israel’s spiritual unity, enable authentic peace with the nations, and open a path of justice, truth and prophetic inspiration for the whole world. The Sanhedrin is not an end in itself: it is a key — to a new stage of history, announced for millennia, and made possible today… by you.
