Another great contribution from France:

some who will probably be overlooked
Rashi - medieval commentator on the bible and Talmud - perhaps most influential such in Jewish history. Also kept a vineyard.
Marc Chagall - mystical artist.
I could make a VERY impressive list of contributions just focusing on French Jews, you realize."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

Hmm...the French language is perhaps the best sounding language I've ever heard. Spiffor, for the gone but never forgotten lego avatar. The beautiful palaces of the French kings. The Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel tower, Impressionism, great films, the list goes on and on...maybe it's not the most powerful country, but culturally speaking it's the true world power."You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James NapierComment
