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.

The vision of the project is to improve the quality of life of underprivileged seniors who are living in Reuth’s subsidized community housing.

Dieu et la science

Rolf Tarrach

Rolf Tarrach, Recteur de l’Université, rencontre les représentants des trois religions monothéistes. Le rabbin Adin Steinzaltz de Jérusalem, traducteur et commentateur du Talmud, auteur d’une cinquantaine d’ouvrages, représente le judaïsme, Jean Ehret, prêtre et universitaire, auteur de plusieurs ouvrages sur le catholicisme, représente le christianisme. Ghaleb Bencheikh, chercheur et producteur d’émissions télévisées, représente l’islam. Physicien de formation, Rolf Tarrach pousse ces trois sommités dans leurs retranchements religieux et tente de débusquer Dieu de leurs croyances respectives. De ces entretiens, qui n’éludent aucune des grandes questions que la science pose à la religion, Dieu, ses révélations et ses cultes passeraient au crible des dernières découvertes.

The Saying of Matanel

The meaning of man’s life lies in his perfecting the universe. He has to distinguish and redeem the sparks of holiness scattered throughout the darkness of the world.
