Halevy's Wandering Jew

Le Juif errant (The Wandering Jew) is a grand opera by Fromental Halévy, with a libretto by Eugène Scribe and Jules-Henri Vernoy de Saint-Georges.

The opera is based extremely loosely on themes of the novel Le Juif errant, by Eugène Sue. Whilst the novel is set in 19th century Paris and the Wandering Jew is incidental to the main story-line, the opera begins in Amsterdam in 1190 and the Jew Ahasuerus, (spelled Ashvérus[1] in the opera), is a leading character.

  • Eugene Sue's Wandering Jew

    The story is entitled The Wandering Jew, but the figure of the Wandering Jew himself plays a minimal role. The prologue of the text describes two figures who cry out to each other across the Bering Straits. One is the Wandering Jew, the other his sister, Hérodiade. The Wandering Jew also represents the cholera epidemic— wherever he goes, cholera follows in his wake.[1]

    Watery diarrhea emanating from the Third Eye? The New Age was created by Jews?

    Henry Kissinger also manipulated the New Age craze. Henry said people who would believe that guides and masters were leading them should be guided by masters, and he considered himself one. 




  • "The Queen of Hearts is a fictional character from the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by the writer Lewis Carroll, in which she appears as the primary antagonist. She is a foul-tempered monarch, that Carroll himself describes as "a blind fury", and who is quick to give death sentences at the slightest offense. Her most famous line, one which she states often, is "Off with their heads!"

    The Queen is referred to as a card from a pack of playing cards by Alice, yet somehow she is able to talk and is the ruler of the lands in the story, alongside the King of Hearts. She is often confused with the Red Queen from the sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, although the two are very different."

    She is commonly mistaken for the Red Queen in the story's sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, but in reality shares none of her characteristics other than being a queen. Indeed, Carroll, in his lifetime, made the distinction of the two Queens by saying:

    I pictured to myself the Queen of Hearts as a sort of embodiment of ungovernable passion – a blind and aimless Fury.
    The Red Queen I pictured as a Fury, but of another type; her passion must be cold and calm – she must be formal and strict, yet not unkindly; pedantic to the 10th degree, the concentrated essence of all governesses![2]
    — Lewis Carroll, in "Alice on the Stage"

  • The Wandering Jew's sister. Who was the Wandering Jew's sister?

    This is about the sorry essence of one person.

    The soul maintains the essence of basic energy of any being in question, no?

    Also, there is more here. The Queen of Hearts was a parody on Queen Victoria. @breemaborg has very intricate connections to Queen Victoria.
  • The Queen of Spades refers to Pushkin's short story.
  • Or is there perhaps an optical illusion at play here? We know what to look for, so we just create connections quite senselessly?
  • Advanced Spelling. In the beginning was the Word.



  • Most biographies of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, the English logician and Anglican deacon who signed “Alice in Wonderland” with the pen name Lewis Carroll, misunderstood their subject entirely. In his new book, Edward Wakeling persuasively argues that Carroll was not a pedophile, as other writers have hastily concluded. And the odd visions described in “Alice” did not result from drug abuse, as previous biographers have charged. Carroll’s statements about the Jews, however, remain unexplained.


  • To establish a logical premise, Carroll repeatedly offers a phrase such as “All Juwes [sic] are greedy.”

  • Two months later he caught up with her in the same place where he had seen her for the first time ­ the Rue Richelieu ­ and stabbed her in the back. Two days after Madeleine's death, he murdered another prostitute in a quiet street of the Faubourg St. Germain.
  • Mademoisele LUNA, YOUR intuition is once again ... juste.

    When a decision must be taken and there isn't enough data to make a calm, logical decision that is 99% sure to solve the problem, people have to rely on intuition to make a decision.

  • In Freudian psychoanalysis, the pleasure principle is the instinctual seeking of pleasure and avoiding of pain in order to satisfy biological and psychological needs.

  • Trust your instinct, we’re urged; it’s never wrong. Nice platitude. It makes us feel safe. But gut instinct is based in our knowledge and experience. Thus, it’s inevitably limited to our specific perceptual frame.
  • The thing with intuition is that, at times, we can subconsciously pick up on things.

    For instance, when something seems "fishy". There was no complicated thought-process that goes into making that deduction, most of the time. You didn't sit there and make a list of all the information you just received: your brain just subconsciously makes that connection and your neurons go "BLING" and thus you come to the conclusion that something seems wrong.

    This is when intuition is useful? Is this even intuition? What is this called?
