Administrative / Biographical history
Pascal Themanlys was a French journalist, poet, kabbalist, and zionist. He was born in Paris to Louis and Claire Themanlys on September 27, 1909. He published his first poetry book, "Le monocle d’émeraude", in 1924, when he was only 15. Ten years later, in 1934, he published "Les merveilles du Becht", the first book in French about the Jewish mystic Baal Shem Tov.
During World War II, Themanlys found refuge in Paus and was an active member of the Jewish Resistance. In 1947, he married his wife, Raymonde, who would later bear him three children. In 1949, he settled in Israel and, together with Joseph Milbauer, was cofounder of the Association des Amitiés Israël-France.
Themanlys published several works throughout his life, including, for instance, "Figures passionnées" (1930), "Grands d'Israel" (1938), "Détresse et résistance juives" (1944), "Max Théon et la philosophie cosmique" (1955), "Un itinéraire de Paris à Jérusalem" (1963), "In Way of Meditation in the Light of the Kabbala" (1981), and "À l’approche du grand matin" (1996).
