AI-Generated Rabbi Personas Spreading Antisemitic Tropes
What We Found
Dor’s Research Team identified five AI-generated social media personas presenting as Hasidic or Orthodox Jewish rabbis across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. Each account follows an identical three-stage formula: an AI-generated identity, antisemitic framing deployed as an engagement driver, and conversion of that audience toward a low-cost commercial product. The cluster includes at least one German-language account, indicating the model is expanding geographically and linguistically.
Taken together, these accounts have a combined active follower base of approximately 1,490,000 users, excluding the Rabbi Goldman Instagram account which has since been removed. The pattern mirrors a previously documented case involving an AI-generated female Australian persona that used antisemitic content to build an audience before directing followers toward adult content sales. The same playbook is being applied here, at significantly greater scale.
Five Personas, One Template
Each persona presents as an elderly Hasidic or Orthodox Jewish male, typically filmed in a bookcase-lined study or, in several cases, seated behind the wheel of a luxury vehicle. The visual and scripting conventions are sufficiently uniform across accounts to suggest a shared template or coordinated origin.
Rabbi Goldman Instagram (1.4 million followers, removed) and Facebook (190,000 followers, active). Sold a 62-page PDF titled How to Make and Invest Money Like the Jews for USD $9.
Rabbi Menachem Goldberg Instagram (514,000 followers) and Facebook (19,000 followers). Sells a PDF titled Rabbi's Blueprint: Timeless Jewish Wisdom for Modern Success for USD $30.
Rabbi Moshe Rothstein Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok (approximately 278,000 followers combined). Sells a PDF titled What Do They Know, That I Don't for USD $15.99.
Rabbi StirBerg TikTok (65,500 followers) and Facebook (389,000 followers). Sells a PDF titled Rabbi's PlayBook for €16.95.
Rabbi Goldstein TikTok and Instagram in German (approximately 34,700 followers). Directs followers to send a private message on Instagram for a product link. The link is not subsequently sent, which may indicate audience profiling activity.
How the Formula Works
Videos open with a hook implying secret or suppressed Jewish knowledge, before delivering financial commentary, conspiracy claims, or motivational content framed as insider wisdom. The content closes with a pitch for a low-cost PDF or ebook. Even ostensibly benign content - generic life advice or motivational messaging - carries the same antisemitic framing by virtue of its structure: delivering such content through a rabbi persona invoking Jewish collective knowledge reinforces the relevant tropes regardless of whether individual claims are overtly hostile.
The Goldman account also attributed conspiracy claims to Jewish foreknowledge, including assertions that the moon landing was faked, that Benjamin Netanyahu had been killed in an Iranian drone strike, and that billionaires stage yacht sinkings for insurance fraud - each presented as knowledge Jews had held in advance.
260 Videos Reviewed
Following verification of AI-generated origin, 260 videos across the five accounts were reviewed and classified by content category.
70% - Jewish money and financial tropes - 189 videos
20% - Jewish control, power, and influence tropes - 54 videos
10% - Motivational or general life wisdom content - 27 videos
Note: control, power, and influence tropes co-occur in a subset of videos also classified under money tropes.
What This Means
The antisemitic framing in these accounts is operationally functional rather than incidental. The tropes employed - hidden Jewish knowledge, Jewish financial superiority, Jewish foreknowledge of world events - are selected for their engagement value. They provoke reaction, invite sharing, and establish the persona as credible to audiences receptive to conspiratorial content. The framing is a tool for building audiences and selling products.
Near-identical product naming conventions across distinct personas point to a shared commercial operation rather than independent actors. The use of purpose-built commercial domains alongside third-party platforms suggests the operations behind each account vary in their level of planning and resourcing.
Platform enforcement has been inconsistent. The Goldman Instagram account was removed, but the associated Facebook page with 190,000 followers remains active. The remaining accounts continue to operate across multiple platforms. Removal of social media accounts will not disable the underlying commercial infrastructure: product websites and storefronts remain accessible independently of platform action.
The identification of a German-language account indicates the template is being adapted for non-English-speaking audiences, expanding potential reach and complicating monitoring. Dor’s Research Team assesses that there is a high risk of further replication across additional persona types and language communities.
The accounts documented in this report are part of a broader and accelerating trend. AI generation tools have substantially lowered the barrier to creating convincing, scalable, and monetisable antisemitic content. What previously required production resources, an established audience, and a degree of personal exposure can now be replicated by a single operator across multiple platforms and languages with minimal cost and risk.
The rabbi persona cluster is one iteration of a model that is already being adapted across different identity types and communities. As these tools become more capable and more accessible, the volume and sophistication of AI-generated antisemitic content is likely to increase.
