Description

The Sefer LeNaarei Kush offers a singular journey through the 613 commandments in the light of Kongo knowledge and practice. Bridging the Written and Oral Torah, the Dikenga cosmogram, the wisdom of the bakulu, and the ethics of kimuntu, the work places the classic texts of Judaism (the Mishnah, Maimonides’ Mishneh Torah) in dialogue with the spiritual heritages of Central Africa. The result is a comparative reading—precise and sensitive—that illuminates both the letter of the law and the spirit of tradition. Bilingual and pedagogical, the book provides carefully crafted translations, context-rich explanations, and a robust scholarly apparatus: Kikongo proverbs with transliterations, biblical and Talmudic references, ethnographic touchstones (including Karl Laman), as well as a thematic glossary and a detailed index to guide readers through complex concepts (Nzambi a Mpungu, minkisi, nganga, lumbu, etc.). Festivals and rituals (Shabbat, Pesach, Sukkot, Shavuot, Shemini Atzeret), ethical precepts (love of one’s neighbor, rebuke without humiliation), and legal frameworks (get, yibbum/chalitzah) are presented with clarity, without sacrificing cultural depth. At the crossroads of exegesis, the history of religions, and anthropology, Sefer Na’arei Koush speaks to scholars, students, community leaders, and anyone curious about how spiritual inheritances converse, respond to one another, and mutually enrich. By restoring the resonances between Jerusalem and Kongo, the book invites an encounter: to put law into practice, inhabit sacred time, and build a relational ethic that is both rooted and universal. Pinhas Eliyahu Shaday, Chief Rabbi of Africa, unites tradition and transmission. His work brings together halachic rigor, tribal sensitivity, and attentive engagement with African cultures, offering a Torah pedagogy that is accessible, contextualized, and faithful to its sources. Le Sefer LeNaarei Kush propose une traversée inédite des 613 commandements à la lumière des savoirs et des pratiques kongo. Entre Torah écrite et orale, cosmogramme du Dikenga, sagesse des bakulu et éthique du kimuntu, l’ouvrage met en regard textes classiques du judaïsme (Mishnah, Mishné Torah de Maïmonide) et patrimoines spirituels d’Afrique centrale. Il en résulte une lecture comparée, précise et sensible, qui éclaire à la fois la lettre de la loi et l’esprit des traditions. Bilingue et pédagogique, le livre offre des traductions soignées, des explications contextualisées et un riche appareillage: proverbes en kikongo avec translitérations, références bibliques et talmudiques, repères ethnographiques (Karl Laman, entre autres), ainsi qu’un glossaire thématique et un index détaillé pour guider le lecteur dans la complexité des notions (nzambi a mpungu, minkisi, nganga, lumbu, etc.). Les fêtes et rituels (Chabbat, Pessa’h, Souccot, Chavouot, Chemini Atséret), les préceptes éthiques (amour du prochain, réprimande sans humiliation), et les cadres juridiques (guett, yiboum/‘halitsa) sont présentés avec clarté, sans perdre la profondeur des contextes culturels. À la croisée de l’exégèse, de l’histoire des religions et de l’anthropologie, Sefer Na’arei Koush s’adresse aux chercheurs, étudiants, leaders communautaires et à toute personne curieuse de comprendre comment des héritages spirituels dialoguent, se répondent et se renforcent. En restituant les résonances entre Jérusalem et le Kongo, le livre invite à une rencontre: mettre la loi en pratique, habiter le temps sacré, et bâtir une éthique relationnelle enracinée et universelle. Pinhas Eliyahu Shaday, Grand Rabbin d’Afrique, articule tradition et transmission. Son travail lie rigueur halakhique, sens tribal et écoute des cultures africaines, pour une pédagogie de la Torah accessible, contextualisée et fidèle à ses sources.
