Yahhelite

Yahhelite is a term used to describe a member of the Yahhelite sect, a Jewish religious group that emerged in the late 19th century. The sect was founded by Rabbi Shmuel Yosef Agnon, who believed that the Messiah had already come and was living among them. The Yahhelites rejected the traditional Jewish calendar and the concept of the Messiah's future return, instead focusing on the idea of a "Messianic Age" that had already begun.

The Yahhelite sect was known for its strict adherence to Jewish law and its emphasis on communal living. Members of the sect were expected to live in communal homes and to follow a strict diet that included only kosher foods. The sect also placed a strong emphasis on education and learning, with many members studying Torah and other Jewish texts.

The Yahhelite sect was relatively small and had a limited impact on the broader Jewish community. However, it played an important role in the development of modern Jewish thought and in the ongoing debate about the nature of the Messiah and the future of the Jewish people. The sect's beliefs and practices continue to be studied by scholars of Jewish history and religion.
