Intergenerational Activities at Reuth’s Subsidized Community Housing – Perach Zahav Matanel

Aging can be a painful process as seniors contend with retirement, loss of friends and loved ones, a decline in functional ability, and more. As a result, many experience debilitating loneliness, and subsequently, a dramatic decline in their mental and physical health. The vision of the project is to improve the quality of life of underprivileged seniors who are living in Reuth’s subsidized community housing.

Congratulations to Petra Straga, winner of the prestigious  LIYSF prize sponsored by the Matanel Foundation with her Project : “Multilingual Minds, Delayed Neurological Decline ” Price remitted by Lionel Mamane, Matanel Foundation's advisor the 14th of March during the 55th National Jonk Fuerscher Contest in Luxembourg. Originally, this award was intended to offer the winner a summer internship at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel—one of the world’s leading centers for scientific research. So today, we would like to offer a sincere prayer for peace as an absolute necessity. For science, like music, is one of the few things that brings us together as human beings, across borders, languages, and conflicts. It knows no passport. And we hope that this prize will one day regain its special significance—and that these young people will, in a more peaceful world, be able to discover Israel.

Le Livre des perles

Salomon ibn Gvirol

Ce livre est un recueil de proverbes, d’aphorismes, de conseils… et d’adages. Dépouillés de toute prétention. De ces propos qui traitent de la vie sans grande couverture théologique et emportent l’adhésion de chacun, de quelque religion ou culture qu’il soit. Ils ne consolent pas, ils ne soulagent pas, ils n’exhortent pas. Ils ramènent toute chose à l’échelle d’une existence que guette la mort et qui ne s’en rachète, d’une certaine manière, qu’en pratiquant le bien. Ils donnent des instructions pour traverser la vie avec noblesse et résignation. On ne lit pas ces perles sans hocher ou secouer la tête. Ce recueil nous ramène à une sagesse pertinente présentant l’insigne mérite d’être valable pour tous.
