Interfaith session with Rabbi Philippe Haddad

Discovering the connections between the two Testaments

26 – July 28, 2026 Sainte Lioba Abbey Bouches-du-Rhône 11 places
Interfaith session with Rabbi Philippe Haddad

Moses, the man of authority, the man of humility.

Listening to the first and second Testaments

  • Jesus answered them: "What did Moses command you?"
  • "As for the dead, they will rise: Moses himself showed this by calling the Lord 'the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob.' He is not the God of the dead but of the living."
  • "Take my yoke upon you, for I am gentle and humble in heart."
