Rabbi Fosu, a Ghanaian originally from the Central Region, lived in Israel for almost nine years after relocating in 2016. He shared his story during an interview on SVTV Africa’s Daily Hustle Gh show with DJ Nyaami.
Rabbi Fosu revealed that he pursued his education in Israel, completing both online courses and earning a master’s in theology and a doctorate in philosophy. Despite facing challenges, he worked hard and eventually did well for himself.
According to him, his decision to move to Israel was deeply spiritual.
“I knew Israel was God’s land. I had a vision while sleeping, and I saw God’s presence there. When you walk with the Rabbis, they teach you deep things,” he shared. “On Fridays, you see Rabbis praying by the beach. I’ve been to Indian temples too, and I say this with conviction — the Israelis are spiritually powerful.”
Rabbi Fosu addressed criticisms made by a fellow Ghanaian in Israel, Dorcas, who previously claimed there was no God in Israel. “She may not have seen the spiritual side. Those who went to Israel seeking God found Him. I’ve been to the Dead Sea and many holy places. I believe in the God of Israel.”
He also criticized some Ghanaian churches in Israel, saying many go there just for fun and not to seek spiritual growth.
Despite his accomplishments, he returned to Ghana due to health challenges. “I had severe catarrh and waist pains. I even lost my eyesight and had to get artificial eyes. I had no wife or children and felt alone. That’s why I came back,” he explained.
During his stay in Israel, Rabbi Fosu built an impressive 60-bedroom flat (still under construction) and acquired over 100 plots of land. He plans to rent out the property and start a business in Ghana.
He praised the Israeli government for providing support to farmers and businesspeople.
“In Israel, the government gives land and machines for damming. Food is cheap. That’s what Ghana’s government needs to do — reduce taxes on food and fuel and make transportation more accessible.”
However, he also criticized aspects of Ghanaian religious culture. “Ghanaians fear pastors more than God. Christianity, in some cases, feels like modern-day slavery,” he said.
Rabbi Fosu believes that Israel is strategically and spiritually superior.
“America is like a second Israel. Iran can’t compete with them. The world is preparing for another war — but Israel will stand strong.”
Though times are hard in Ghana, he believes in farming.
“If you farm cassava or ginger in Ghana, you can make more money than some people do abroad,” he concluded.
