'''Yehuda (Jean-Bernard) Moraly''' ({{Langx|he|יהודה מורלי}}), a theater researcher, playwright, director and actor, is a professor emeritus of Theater studies at the Hebrew University. His fields of research are mainly French theater and film. He taught theater at the Sorbonne, the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Bar Ilan University and the Hebrew University (1982-2012).

== Research == In his research, Moraly undermines generally admitted cultural images.
His recent research is devoted to the representations of Jewish characters in Occupied France's Theater and Film in works such as ''Les Enfants du Paradis, Volpone'', ''La Folle de Chaillot.'' This analysis appeared in ''Revolution in Paradise: Veiled representations of Jewish characters in Occupied France,'' Sussex Academic Press, 2020. The purpose of the book is to show that, contrary to the accepted view, some of these films and plays were intimately linked to the political situation. They convey the demonization of characters that, while not specifically presented as Jews nevertheless manifested anti-Semitic stereotypes of the Jew as ugly, rootless, low, hypocritical, immoral, cruel and power hungry. All movies analyzed (''Les Inconnus dans la maison''; ''Les Visiteurs du Soir''; ''L’Eternel retour''; ''Les Enfants du Paradis'') present characters not identified as Jews but who exhibit negative “Jewish” traits, in contrast to the aristocratic characters whom they aspire to emulate. They demonstrate, implicitly, central themes of explicit anti-Semitic propaganda.<ref>https://yehudamoraly.huji.ac.il/sites/default/files/yehudamo/files/reviews_in_english.pdf</ref>
=== Jean Genet === His first book: ''Jean Genet, la vie écrite'' (La Difference, 1988) opposed Genet's official image (as an uncultured outlaw) and showed Jean Genet to be a highly cultured writer whose need to write determined all the aspects of his life. The book became a point of reference for research on Genet's work. ''Le Maître fou'' (Nizet, 2009) analyzes Genet's theoretical texts on theater and art. These texts, neglected by scholarship, offer a key for the comprehension of Genet's dramatic work and are a deep reflection about the powers and the limits of artistic creation. In this book, Moraly focuses on Genet's texts both on theater and more broadly, on aesthetics. From his study of Cocteau to his essay "That Strange Word..." (1967) and including writings on his various plays and also on Léonor Fini, Rembrandt, Giacometti, and "The Tightrope Walker", texts in which, Moraly states, Genet analyzes his own views on the creation, function, and power of art.
=== Paul Claudel === The second theme of his research, the theatrical creation of Paul Claudel, is not so far from the first as it may seem. In ''Claudel metteur en scène : la frontière entre les deux mondes'' (Presses Universitaires de Franche Comté, 1998), Moraly opposes the accepted image of Claudel as a paragon of arrière-garde theater. The book reveals unknown aspects of Claudel's work: his ballets, his theatrical experiments and his exploration of a new kind of musical theater. In his recent book '''Dream Projects: in Novels, Theater and Films''' Sussex Academic Press, 2021, Moraly continues to deal with the work of Claudel and Genet. Also, he refers to the cinematic works of Federico Fellini. The purpose of this book is to illustrate how an author’s thwarted dream project – which, being unpublished or un-produced, can only be retrospectively reconstituted through archived notes and drafts '''–''' serves as a key for reading the author’s entire corpus. In the present study, Moraly has used the work drafts of these three influential artists of the twentieth century – Paul Claudel, Jean Genet, and Federico Fellini – to better understand their respective oeuvres.<ref>https://yehudamoraly.huji.ac.il/sites/default/files/yehudamo/files/combined_reviews_english.pdf</ref>
