Atelier Tenoua: how to live with a broken heart?
A famous Hasidic proverb strangely holds that “nothing is more whole than a broken heart.” Can we learn to live with grief and survive the loss of a loved one? What do the sacred texts say of mourning a love? An exploration of Jewish mysticism, in search of the wisdom of broken hearts. Recording of the 23 June 2026 Atelier Tenoua (90 min), available to rent. In French.
“Nothing is more whole than a broken heart.”
“King David once said: ‘The Eternal is close to the broken-hearted; He comes to the aid of those whose spirit is crushed.’ The commentator wrote: ‘David himself had, precisely, a broken heart. And it is precisely because of this that he was able to compose the greatest poetry, to play music, and to enter into conversation with the Eternal.’”
“The heart is broken. The Tablets of the Law are broken. The matza is broken. The wedding glass is broken.”
