Marom Paris organized a Jewish Code in Le Louvre museum (2010, March 7.)
The Jewish Code is a riddle-game on the history of the Hebrews, which took place a few days ago in le Louvre Museum, in partnership with Coexister, a French interfaith organization.
The purpose of the Jewish Code was to discover or refresh our knowledge of 2000 years of Jewish history, from Abraham to Bar Kokhba.
We were 20 players, organised in 5 teams, and had to run for 3 hours in the museum on a Sunday afternoon, from one room to another, to answer the questions of the game.
We had a great time, and le Louvre is a wonderful museum, as I could feel passing from the Ancient Egypt to the Babylonian or Ancient Greek rooms. The museum shows master pieces, as the Babylonian Code of Hammurabi (ca. 1790 BC), very similar to the law of talion (“an eye for an eye”), or the Mesha's basalt Stele (Mesha was King of Moab, around 850 BC) which mentions explicitly wars between Israel and Moab). We greeted the pharaohs supposed to have welcome Joseph or thrown Moses and the Hebrews out of Egypt. We stood gaping in front of a monumental piece of capital, supposed to have been part of King Ahashverosh palace.
Then we moved to a café, to listen to the good answers and a prize was given to the four winners : books upon the Hebrews and archeology, or French comic books about Le Louvre or Ancient Palestine.

Cette session du célèbre jeu d’énigmes a été organisée par Marom Paris et les jeunes de Coexister, association pour le dialogue interreligieux.
Le Jewish Code, c’est un parcours ludique et culturel qui permet aux participants de découvrir ou redécouvrir le Musée du Louvre dans des conditions inédites: répondre à des questions sur l’histoire des Hébreux grâce à des indices disséminés dans les diverses salles du musée. Les équipes doivent rivaliser d’astuce, de culture générale et de sens de l’observation pour compléter leur livret d'enquêteurs.
Nous avons donc mené l'enquête le temps d’un dimanche après-midi dans le Musée du Louvre, passant de salle en salle au pas de course, dans une ambiance joyeuse de compétition !
Après le jeu, correction des réponses dans un café pour redérouler chronologiquement l’histoire juive antique, en la croisant avec les récentes découvertes archéologiques, et remise de prix à l'équipe gagnante.
