Avraham Ben-Raḥamiël Qanaï (אברהם בן-רחמיאל קנאי) (November 25, 1946 - May 30, 2021), whose original surname was Blank (source: Ḥakham Meir Rekhavi), was born to an Ashkenazi Jewish family that hailed from Romania (source: Ḥakham Meir Rekhavi). Qanaï was on his way to India in 1968 with a stopover in Israel when the late Ḥakham Mordecai Alfandari (1929–1999) met him - the first Karaite he came in contact with in his life - and convinced him of the view that Karaite Judaism was the truth (source: Ḥakham Meir Rekhavi). The late Ḥakham Immanuel Massouda (the first Chief Karaite Ḥakham in Israel since 1948) met him shortly afterward and gave him a Ḥakham's cap (hat) as a gift (source: Ḥakham Meir Rekhavi). Qanaï fabricated a story where this registered as his being proclaimed a Ḥakham by Masso
