Join us for the fifteenth Storytelling Sunday with Violetta Zein! This week will be an introduction to the life of Hippolyte Dreyfus, the first French Bahá’í, dearly beloved and appreciated by both ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and Shoghi Effendi. His life is full of adventures that will lead him to the jungles of Vietnam and the deepest part of China, but at times it is a deeply mystical journey of the lover to his Beloved. This talk was inspired by the wonderful first full biography of his life by Yann Ballager in collaboration with Parivash Ardeï Amini soon to be available in English!
