Private prayers meetings continued being held in spite of the concentration of religious practice under the authority of the newly created consistories imposed by the imperial government. The authors examine the character of a Hebraic teacher, Lévi Aron Sauphar, who maintained his school open cut off the Consistory of Paris from 1822 to 1835, reopening it as soon as it was closed. Who was he ? What may be known of his origin and his family environment ? What was his aim in life ? What audience, what religious opinion did he adress to ? Beyond Lévi Aron Sauphar and his attitude as an opponent to the consistory of Paris, we can perceive an environment which is still almost unknown, that of a small community of Paris and its evolution during the first third of the XIXth century.
