Yosef Dayan

Yosef Dayan was born in 1945 in Mexico to Sephardic Jewish parents from Aleppo, Syria. The Dayan family traces its lineage directly to the Exilarchs of the ancient Near East.

Dayan made aliyah (emigrated to Israel) in 1968 and joined Rabbi Meir Kahane's Kach movement. He was instrumental in establishing the Hebron Hills settlement of El-Nakam, which was destroyed on the orders of the then-Minister of Defense, Moshe Arens in 1982.

He is the founder and current director of Malchut Israel, an organization with the goal of restoring Israel's royal Davidic house, and is known as the Rabbi who enacted the Pulsa diNura against the Prime Ministers of Israel Yitzhak Rabin and Ariel Sharon.

Dayan is also the author of several books in Hebrew, Spanish and Italian. He also worked to translate modern Spanish literature into Hebrew. He is married with 6 children and currently resides in Psagot, Israel.

His son, Sgt. Hananel Dayan, refused to shake Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Dan Halutz's hand during the 2006 Independence Day ceremonies while Hananel Dayan was being given the President of Israel award for outstanding soldiers.
