Paul Phillip Levertoff (born Feivel in Orsha, Belarus; d. 31 July 1954) was, according to Quiñónez, a major pioneer of the Hebrew Christian movement: a Jewish believer in Jesus, missionary and later Anglican priest in London, who sought a 'Hebrew Christian Church' with its own liturgy.
In 1925 Levertoff published the Hebrew liturgy Meal of the Holy King for services at Holy Trinity (London). He also helped translate the Zohar into English (Soncino). Quiñónez reads this as a bridge between Jewish learning and Hebrew Christian practice, without conflating the movement with the patristic sects.
