Vision
Does the return to sovereignty induce new duties or responsibilities for the Jews? What are the prerogatives and risks of exercising power? And how do our responsibilities towards minorities translate? From Amalek to Samuel, through biblical, Talmudic, legal, poetic, traditional, and contemporary texts, during this summer program we will discuss and study together kingship, war, protection, and vulnerability.
Activity
The Ta Shma Study Circle is an association founded in 2019 with the aim of creating and developing an egalitarian, dynamic French community engaged in the study of Jewish sources, combining academic and traditional approaches. It seeks to be a place of exchange, debate, and reflection on contemporary societal issues, as well as an anchor point for French people living in Israel. Ta Shma offers weekly study sessions in Jerusalem and monthly sessions in Tel Aviv, evenings around religious and civil holidays, as well as online courses. Every year in July, it organizes a two-week intensive study program, with classes, workshops, visits, and meetings with field actors. The association also produces digital content: podcasts, videos, and online resources.
