Sebastian Ravel

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on September 12, 1985. Up to 3rd grade of elementary school, he studies at Bet El School. From 4th Grade He studied at the Tarbut Trilingual School in Olivos until the third year of high school. At the end of December 2001, he and his family moved to Miami, Florida, where he completed his high school studies at Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School. After graduating from high school and a few years of college at Broward Community College, in mid-2005, he began a quest and need to explore alternative philosophies and lifestyles that would make sense of the monotony and structure of traditional life, leading him to travel the world, particularly Israel and Europe. During his trip to Europe, he meets a theosophical master in Granada, Spain, with whom he decides to stay and learn his knowledge. At the beginning of 2008, guided by a shocking dream, he returns to Argentina to explore his Jewish origins; he writes this story under the title "Lech Lecha, my Teshuvah Story". It is in that year when he learns that his father, at the age of 50, begins with a sign of Alzheimer's, which inspires him to inquire about it in the deep sources of Kabbalah and the Chabad Rebbes' Chassidism. At the end of 2008, he settles to live and study in the Chabad Central Yeshiva of Buenos Aires Argentina, until the end of 2010, when he marries Evelyn Sol Traugott, and writes the work of his encounters with her entitled "Love in Kabbalah Times"; currently they have two girls and two boys. With the birth of her first daughter, in early 2012, she co-founded "Yeshiva Anoji", a space for young Jewish university students to transmit the profound teachings of Chabad Chassidut. During the Pandemic of 2020, the author perceives that an international audience is demanding his attention, attracted by his audiovisual Torah and Kabbalah contents, especially those focused on Alzheimer's disease. There, he begins to write "Close Encounters of the Alzheimer's Kind". The book is exhibited every year at the International Book Fair in Buenos Aires. By the end of 2022 "Impulsa Tu Alma" was born and the high impact program for family members and caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease began to take shape, through short videos with his teacher and father until his departure from this world in August 2023 (23rd of Av 5783). 11 months later, he concludes the prayers (and the Kaddish) to elevate his father's soul, and that same day he receives the Rabbi certification, a sign from "above" that his father continues to accompany him at all times to continue growing and influencing the world with his teachings.
