🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿📢 Urgent Call for Pidyon Nefesh Before Rosh HaShanah!
Tzaddikim, Tzaddakot,
With the help of Hashem, as Rosh HaShanah approaches – a time when every soul stands in judgment before the Heavenly Tribunal – we have the immense merit to participate in a most ancient and precious segulah: the Pidyon Nefesh, according to the tradition of the Kabbalists of the holy Yeshiva of Beth-El, of Rabbi Nechunia Ben HaKane, and the Nusach Afriki.
Under the guidance and expertise of the Grand Rabbi of Africa, Rabbi Pinhas Eliyahu Shaday נר״ו, a special Pidyon Nefesh ceremony will be organized and broadcast live on the morning of Erev Rosh HaShanah (the day before Rosh HaShanah).
📖 As taught by the Kabbalists, this spiritual redemption diverts harsh decrees (dinim) and brings forth life, health, and mercy (rachamim) for the coming year.
💰 Minimum Contribution: $18 (חי – “Chai”, Hebrew for life)
It is crucial that every family member be included, even an unborn baby, so that all may be protected and merit a new year filled with blessings.
🙏 Let us not miss this sacred opportunity to open the gates of mercy and life for ourselves and our loved ones.
✨ “Venatnou ish kofer nafsho” (Exodus 30:12) – “Each man shall give a ransom for his soul”

Igbo Tradition as inscribed in the Torah

30/07/2025

🇺🇸Happy Yom Hilula to everyone.
Today marks the anniversary of the passing of our Master, the crown of our heads, Rabbeinu Yitzhak Luria, the Ari HaKadosh (the Holy Lion). According to our Tradition, three days before and three days after the anniversary of his passing, the soul of the Tzaddik remains present with us in this dimension. Here are a few Halakhot to follow in order to achieve a meaningful connection with this unique day:
1. Light a candle in memory of our Master. Meditating in front of it with deep and mystical intentions is more than enough for a meaningful interaction, without the need to visit the cemetery.
2.The concept of celebration in the Torah is inseparable from wine and meat. The joy of this day takes precedence over the stringencies of the Three Weeks of mourning, from the 17th of Tammuz to the 9th of Av.
3. Prioritize the study of the Sod (mystical dimension) of the Torah—preferably the writings of the Ari—on this day. The public classes on Wednesday night (in English) and Thursday night (in French) will be exclusively dedicated to the teachings of our Master.

🇫🇷Yom Hiloul Sameah à toutes et à tous. Pour l'anniversaire du décès de notre Maître, la couronne de notre tête, Rabbenou Yitshak Louria, le Ari HaKadosh (Le Saint Lion). Comme nous le dit notre Tradition, 3 jours avant et 3 jours après la date anniversaire de sa mort, l'âme du Tsadik demeure présent avec nous, dans cette dimension. Voici quelques Halakhot à suivre pour pouvoir réussir une bonne connexion avec ce jour unique.
1. Allumer une bougie à la mémoire de notre Maître. Méditer devant avec les intentions mystiques et profondes, suffit largement pour une bonne interaction sans avoir à se rendre au cimetière.
2. La notion de célébration dans la Torah ne peut être dissociée du Vin et de la Viande. La joie de ce jour supplante les rigueurs des 3 semaines de pénitence du 17 Tamouz au 9 Av.
3. Privilégez l'Etude du Sod de la Torah (de préférence les Kitvei Ari) en ce jour. Les cours publiques du Mercredi soir (en anglais) et du Jeudi Soir (en français) seront exclusivement dédiés à la Torah du Maître.
