- שמואל אוסוואלד רופאייזן ("האח דניאל", 29 בינואר 1922 - 30 ביולי 1998) היה יהודי ניצול שואה שהמיר דתו לנצרות והיה לנזיר. רופאייזן התפרסם לאחר שביקש לעלות לישראל כיהודי על-פי חוק השבות, אך בקשתו נדחתה על ידי רשויות המדינה בגלל התנצרותו, ואף עתירתו לבג"ץ על כך נדחתה.

Wikipedia description:
Oswald Rufeisen (religious name Daniel Maria; 1922–1998) was a Polish-born Jew who survived the Nazi Germany invasion of his homeland, in the course of which he converted to Christianity, becoming a Catholic and a friar of the Discalced Carmelites. He sought Israeli citizenship under the Israeli Law of Return, but was refused. However, he moved to Israel as a Carmelite friar, where he spent the rest of his life, and acquired citizenship through naturalization.
