Context: This enigmatic figure of Rabbi Chouchani, teacher of Levinas and Elie Wiesel, had a profound impact on many existentialist and phenomenological Jewish philosophers, including Martin Buber. Details of his career and personal career remain tantalizingly scarce.
"He (R. Chouchani) is like the Splinter of Jewish philosophers. He's this shadowy esoteric teaching figure. Levinas and Buber are his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
