<p>Le <a href="/jewish-centers/4920073/Abu-Dhabi-Dubai-Ras-Al-Khaimah/Synagogue/Chabad-of-United-Arab-Emirates" title="Chabad of United Arab Emirates">Rav Levi Duchman, rabbin aux Émirats Arabes Unis</a>, et Léa Hadad ont célébré leur mariage dans la capitale du pays, Abu Dhabi, mercredi 14 septembre 2022, entourés de 1 500 invités venus du monde entier. Parmi les invités figuraient des membres de la famille royale émiratie, des rabbins éminents, des dignitaires et une grande partie de la communauté juive du pays en plein essor. Ce mariage est un événement historique qui marque une nouvelle ère pour la vie juive dans le monde arabe.</p>
<p>Des centaines de Juifs et d’Arabes locaux, pour qui c’était le premier mariage juif jamais vécu, étaient présents. Avec des personnes venues de tous les Émirats et du monde entier, parlant l’arabe, l’hébreu, le <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="38023">yiddish</span>, le français et d’autres langues, les cérémonies se sont tenues en anglais, langue comprise par l’ensemble des invités.</p>
<p>Le mariage, le plus grand événement juif de l’histoire récente dans le golfe Persique, s’est tenu au Hilton Yas Island d’Abu Dhabi et le repas a été préparé par l’équipe de chefs internationaux de l’hôtel. La <a href="/library/article_cdo/aid/3822357/jewish/Quest-ce-que-lalimentation-casher.htm" title="Qu’est-ce que l’alimentation casher?">certification casher</a> a été assurée par l’EAKC (Emirates Agency for <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="38813">Kosher</span> Certification), la seule agence de supervision casher certifiée par le gouvernement, qui a été fondée par le marié pour rendre la nourriture casher disponible dans les Émirats.</p>
<p>Une grande partie des denrées, depuis les poulets casher abattus localement aux vins casher importés, ainsi qu’une pléthore croissante de services juifs, sont tous disponibles localement grâce à une constellation d’institutions juives créées par le <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="41899">rav</span> Duchman avec le soutien du gouvernement. Avant et depuis la signature des accords d’<span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="37397">Abraham</span> à l’automne 2020, l’offre de services juifs dans les Émirats arabes unis s’est considérablement améliorée.</p>

<p>Des dizaines de jeunes enfants fréquentent « Mini Miracles », la première école juive du pays, tandis que des dizaines d’autres enfants fréquentent le <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="38919">Talmud</span> <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="39995">Torah</span>, le programme complémentaire d’éducation juive. Les classes et les inscriptions devraient augmenter d’année en année dans un avenir proche. Il y a un <a target="_blank" href="https://chabad.ae/mikvah/"><i>mikvé</i> très fréquenté</a>, achevé l’année dernière à Dubaï.</p>
<p>Grâce à la certification casher et aux produits disponibles, des restaurants et des traiteurs casher privés ont commencé à apparaître. De nombreux hôtels proposent désormais un service de restauration et d’étage casher, ce qui n’est pas souvent le cas en dehors d’Israël. Des cours de <a href="/library/article_cdo/aid/5538423/jewish/Quest-ce-que-la-Torah.htm" title="Qu’est-ce que la Torah ?">Torah</a> quotidiens et hebdomadaires et des offices de prière réguliers sont organisés à Dubaï et à Abu Dhabi.</p>
<p>Les éléments nécessaires à la vie communautaire juive sont de plus en plus disponibles dans les Émirats. Les Juifs du monde entier considèrent les Émirats arabes unis comme un lieu possible de tourisme et de résidence grâce à l’infrastructure juive croissante créée par le <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="41964">rav</span> Duchman et aux options casher qui en découlent.</p>
<p>La communauté juive bénéficie d’un soutien fort de la part des dirigeants des E.A.U. et célèbre ouvertement la vie et les fêtes juives. Avec les ajouts quasi quotidiens à leur communauté d’expatriés et l’afflux de Juifs et d’Israéliens aux Émirats, le centre « Jewish UAE » fournit une aide à la relocalisation et un réseau d’affaires.</p>

<p>La mariée est la fille <a href="/jewish-centers/118664/Brussels/Campus-Chabad-House/Chabad-Center-for-Students-Maayan-Hay" title="Chabad Center for Students - Maayan Hay">du Rav Mena’hem et de Batcheva Hadad</a>, émissaires de ‘Habad à Bruxelles, où son père est grand rabbin. Comme son mari, elle est issue d’une longue lignée de dirigeants communautaires. Ses grands-parents, Rav Yechoua et <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="38867">Rachel</span> Hadad, ont été pendant des décennies des émissaires ‘Habad à Milan, où son grand-père était le chef de la communauté juive séfarade, envoyé par le Rabbi en 1961 avant son mariage.</p>
<p>« En tant qu’enfant d’émissaires ‘Habad, j’ai grandi dans une maison ouverte, a dit la mariée. Les gens venaient à tout moment pour un repas ou simplement pour du soutien, et j’ai l’intention de faire de même ici à Abu Dhabi. »</p>
<p>Léa Hadad a reçu son éducation juive primaire et secondaire à Anvers, suivie de trois années au Séminaire BMC à Sainte Agathe au Québec, près de Montréal. Après avoir obtenu son diplôme, elle est retournée à Bruxelles, où elle a aidé son père à assurer la certification casher dans la ville et a dirigé plusieurs programmes communautaires.</p>
<p>Âgé de vingt-neuf ans, le marié est le fils du Rav Sholom et de Feige Duchman. Ses arrière-grands-parents maternels, Rav Bentzion et Golda Shemtov, étaient des émissaires ‘Habad de longue date en URSS puis au Royaume-Uni. Ils s’étaient mariés dans la pauvreté, en Sibérie, où le rav Shemtov venait de terminer quatre années de travaux forcés comme punition pour le crime d’avoir enseigné le judaïsme. Une cuillère tordue leur avait alors servi de bague improvisée, contrastant fortement avec le mariage de leur arrière-petit-fils et l’environnement accueillant du gouvernement dans lequel il dirige la communauté juive florissante des Émirats.</p>

</div>
<p>Le père du marié, Rav Sholom Duchman, a été nommé directeur de l’institution Colel ‘Habad par Rabbi Mena’hem Mendel Schneerson, de mémoire bénie. Le Colel ‘Habad fut fondé en 1788 par Rabbi Chnéour Zalman de Lyadi, <a href="/library/article_cdo/aid/819554/jewish/LAdmour-Hazakne.htm" title="L’Admour Hazakène">le premier Rabbi de ‘Habad</a>, et est la plus ancienne organisation caritative de Terre Sainte. Aujourd’hui, c’est la plus grande organisation de sécurité alimentaire en Israël.</p>
<p>Depuis son adolescence, le rav Duchman, qui est également l’émissaire de ‘Habad-Loubavitch aux Émirats arabes unis, a trouvé des moyens créatifs d’engager les Juifs dans la pratique et la vie juives, et avec des proches parents servant comme émissaires ‘Habad dans le monde entier, il était tout naturel pour lui de déployer ses ailes et de trouver un endroit pour faire de même. Ayant appris l’arabe en assistant sa sœur et son beau-frère, <a href="/jewish-centers/country/Morocco">émissaires ‘Habad au Maroc</a>, il s’est installé aux Émirats en 2014 et a depuis vu la communauté juive devenir la communauté à la croissance la plus rapide du monde arabe.</p>
<p>« Je suis enthousiaste à l’idée de vivre aux Émirats arabes unis », a déclaré Léa Hadad, qui prévoit d’apprendre l’arabe. « J’ai hâte de soutenir les nouvelles familles qui arrivent et de développer nos programmes éducatifs et sociaux pour celles qui sont déjà là. »</p>
