Karoutchi, who is considered one of the most senior and long-established politicians in France, heads a lobby that engages in French-Moroccan relations. His activities involve many topical matters relevant to Jews in Israel, Morocco, and France..

In a conversation with Rabbi Pinto, Karoutchi reviewed the actions of the parliament vis-à-vis the security of the Jews in France and its long-time activities to eliminate anti-Semitism in France.

Earlier, Rabbi Pinto visited the communities of Shuva Israel and emphasized the importance of spiritual development for the communities, that number hundreds of families. Rabbi Pinto imparted lessons of Torah and ethics, giving strength to all who work to increase the light of Torah and kindness.
