Longevity Summit
Milano 14-27 MARCH 2024
Supported by the Matanel Foundation

Is it possible and ethical, to engage in a chase for eternal youth and extend life expectancy? The world’s cutting-edge scientific research says it is. This is a true revolution in the way we approach aging, and Milan is to spearhead it by hosting this unique two-week-long international scientific Summit. The event, which will take place in different venues across the city, will be open to the general public, scholars, policy makers, doctors and health workers, industry representatives and students. It will involve the participation of the city’s most important Institutions that will join in a dialogue on today’s “hottest” themes in research and investments: Healthy Aging and Longevity. Sixty among the most famous and established scientists, real stars in this field, will talk about the cutting-edge research to slow down the aging process. Demographic change requires a holistic approach based on new social paradigms about welfare policies, economy, work and cities’ organization, which will require the development of political and administrative awareness. Therefore, the Summit will feature roundtables with demographers, investors, startup entrepreneurs and mayors of some of the cities that are currently experimenting with new social organizational models based on demographic change. Indeed, we’re facing a revolution in the future of humanity and social organization, which involves every aspect of life. We’re heading towards a Longevity Rush, a new gold rush. Public and private investors, billionaires searching for the source of eternal life, private equities, startups, companies from every industry sector, from big pharma to supplement manufacturers, cosmetics, advertising, real estate, medical and paramedical fields, as well as the industry of leisure. They are all competing with the baby boomers, who have entered the fourth age en masse being blessed with longer life spans and rather solid economic possibilities, thanks to the economic boom they enjoyed and not having children and/or parents to support. This large segment of today’s population is primarily concerned with keeping in good health and securing a longer life. Free entrance, reservations will be required. The conferences will be held in English and/or Italian. Simultaneous translation will be provided in both languages. To follow the live streaming follow the links.

“As part of the selection process, over 100 nominations were submitted to win the new prestigious award,” it was reported to “Khal Ha’ir”. “Many groundbreaking initiatives were presented in the proposals, which strengthen society in all its aspects and have a decisive contribution for the residents of Jerusalem. At the end of a strict selection process led by the judging team, Yael Berman-Domb, CEO of ‘Tana Jerusalem’ and one of its founders, was chosen to receive the prestigious award. Berman Domb, who has devoted many years to diverse social activities, heads the association that leads unique programs to strengthen the city of Jerusalem by attracting and keeping young men and women in the city, as well as shaping active, committed and influential community leadership.”

“The association leads programs intended for the younger generation of various ages in a democratic and pluralistic spirit, including: a pre-military preparatory school, an integrated midrash, programs for students and accompanying communities,” it added. “Many achievements have been credited to the association in its 13 years of activity: 500 graduates of the Jerusalem high school and TANA Jerusalem programs, 70% of the graduates work in the public and social sector and many have chosen to live in Jerusalem.”

"You can just sit and read it non-stop!"/ Steinsaltz Mishnah series presented to President Isaac Herzog at the President's Residence in Jerusalem

President Israel Herzog received today, Monday, 9 Tevet 5783, 2 January 2023, the final volume of the Mishnah with a modern Hebrew translation and commentary by the late Rabbi Adin Even-Israel (Steinsaltz), from his son, Rabbi Meni Even-Israel, director of the Steinsaltz Center. This is the last project translated by Rabbi Adin Even-Israel (Steinsaltz), thus completing the work of translating the entire Jewish canon and making him the only commentator in Jewish history to have achieved this feat. The late Rabbi Steinsaltz was an educator, researcher, commentator of the Talmud and Hasidic thought, philosopher, social critic, and author of over 300 works in various languages. He also established a network of educational institutions and received a variety of awards including the Israel Prize and the Israeli Presidential Medal of Honor. Rabbi Steinsaltz's teachings included a new edition of Judaism's core texts, featuring a clear and concise interpretation and inviting students to delve deeper into various fields, concepts, halachic ruling, and historical background of the topics discussed. The Koren Steinsaltz Mishnah includes 13 volumes, 63 tractates, 4182 mishnayot over a total of some 9,000 pages. The modern Hebrew translation of the Mishnah alone took twelve years. Each volume of the Koren Steinsaltz Mishnah contains an average of 750 color photographs and illustrations. President Isaac Herzog: "This is an amazing enterprise! Its advantage is that it serves the entire nation and connects it to its sources. The fact the fact that you have made it accessible to the whole People of Israel is a great privilege." Rabbi Meni Even-Israel: "We are proud to present to the President the final volume of the Mishnah, bringing us full circle, because Rabbi Steinsaltz and the Steinsaltz Center presented the first volume of the Talmud to President Shazar. This presentation of the final volume of the annotated Mishnah is the fulfillment of the Rabbi's motto "Let My People Know."

In honor of Rabbi Adin Even-Israel Steinsaltz ZT"L's 1st yahrtzeit we would like to share these few words spoken on the occasion of his 76th birthday on 3 Av 5773 (10 July 2013).

Une petite flamme qui grandit par le Rav Adin Éven-Israël (Steinsaltz) ע"ה

Je m’efforce d’être ce que l’on pourrait appeler une source de contamination. Je ne dis pourtant pas par-là que d’autres doivent agir comme moi Je souhaite au contraire qu’ils oeuvrent encore mieux que moi Et tout particulièrement, qu’ils agissent autrement. Peut-être alors quelque chose se passera-t-il… Quel est mon désir, que voudrais-je qu’il subsiste après moi, à titre d’héritage ? Des sermons ? Le vent les emportera. Des livres ? Le vent les consumera. Peut-être ai-je réussi à toucher quelques individus J’essaie en tout cas en permanence que ma propre bougie flamboie J’essaie de faire en sorte de garder le feu attisé Et j’essaie d’embraser les autres. J’ose espérer qu’ici et là, au gré de mon chemin J’ai pu toucher quelques bougies et qu’elles se soient allumées. Oui, qu’elles demeurent allumées. Il est possible que je ne sois qu’une petite bougie Comme cela, toute pâle Et qu’il y en ait d’autres éclatantes et toutes brillantes, Hautes et réussies Au contraire, au contraire Pourvu, pourvu qu’il en soit ainsi. Que reste-t-il donc dans la mémoire ? Disons, dans mes gènes. Si survenait un écroulement dévastateur, Poursuivons néanmoins la ligne Continuons la chaîne Aidons-la à grandir À perdurer. Voilà ce que je pense. C’est cela que j’essaie d’accomplir. Tels sont mes rêves. Imaginons qu’un être atterrisse dans un certain endroit, Que sa conscience se retrouve effacée Mais qu’il lui reste quelque chose, ne serait-ce qu’une phrase. Protège tout le reste d'Israël… qui proclame Chéma Israël Protège tout le reste d'Israël Voilà ce que je souhaite laisser. Je souhaite léguer après moi cette idée-là, Cette idée qui serait perpétuée par d’autres. C’est tout. Rien de plus Lé’haïm tovim. À la vie, à la bonne vie Mots prononcés à l’occasion de ses 76 ans, le 3 Av 5773 (10 juillet 2013). Traduit de l’hébreu par Michel Allouche, Jérusalem.

A small flame that grows by Rav Adin Even-Israel (Steinsaltz) ע "ה

I strive to be what one might call a source of contamination. I am not saying, however, that others should act as I do. On the contrary, I wish that they would work even better than I do, and especially that they would act differently. Perhaps then something will happen... What is my desire, what would I like to have left after me as a legacy? Sermons? The wind will blow them away. Books? The wind will consume them. Perhaps I have succeeded in touching a few people I am always trying to keep my own candle burning I am trying to keep the fire burning and I am trying to set others on fire. I dare to hope that here and there, along the way, I may have touched a few candles and that they may have lit up. Yes, that they remain lit. It is possible that I am only a small candle Like that, all pale And that there are others bright and all shining, High and successful On the contrary, provided, provided that it is so. What is left in the memory? Let us say, in my genes. If a devastating collapse should occur, Let us nevertheless continue the line Let us continue the chain Let us help it to grow To endure. This is what I think. This is what I am trying to accomplish. These are my dreams. Let's imagine that a person lands in a certain place, that his consciousness is erased, but that he has something left, even if it's only a sentence. Protect all the rest of Israel... that proclaims Shema Israel Protect all the rest of Israel That is what I wish to leave. I want to leave this idea after me, this idea that would be perpetuated by others. That is all I wish to leave. Nothing more Le'haim tovim. To life, to the good life Words spoken on the occasion of his 76th birthday, 3 Av 5773 (10 July 2013).
