The Last Righteous Man
Dir.: Rafael Balulu | 70 minutes

The Last Righteous Man

Israel 2024 | 70 minutes | Hebrew

The Last Righteous Man portrays the story of the Abuhazira family, a Jewish-Moroccan dynasty that has been leading Jewish-Moroccan and Israeli communities for two centuries. Through the story of Baba Sali and his younger brother Baba Khaki, the film reveals a story of a Moroccan aristocratic rabbinical family and its transformation to a leading family in Israel. The film moves between Morocco and Israel, from the great wave of immigration from Morocco to present-day Israel, through the biography of Baba Sali and Baba Khaki, and the public activity of the second generation: Rabbi Baruch Abuhzira and Aharon Abuhzira, who took the reins of leadership, shaping Israeli culture, society and politics.
