Matanel Crossroad Seminar – In preparation for Israel’s centennial

The state of Israel and global Judaism are once again facing a crossroad: On the one hand, there is regrowth, rehabilitation, and revival, while on the other there is deterioration, embarrassment, and social and spiritual collapse.

Tarédant, sous protectorat

Ami Bouganim

Tarédant passe pour la ville la plus neurasthénique du Maroc. Elle est accablée par les vents qui ballottent ses habitants, les vagues qui menacent de l’engloutir, les crabes géants qui hantent ses côtes. En revanche, elle se délecte du lourd anathème sous lequel les religions persistent à la maintenir et s’en remet à la protection du saint local, Menkor Zal, digne héritier du très vénéré Rabbi Baruch Espinosa enterré sur les lieux. La ville ne résiste aux calamités qui la menacent que parce qu’elle se prend pour la plus géniale au monde et qu’elle excelle dans l’insigne art de la simulation politique.

The Saying of Matanel

The exodus from Egypt occurs in every human being, in every era, in every year, and in every day.

Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
