Born on June 6, 1947, in Meknes, Morocco, at the time of the French presence, Parienté lived until the age of fifteen in the old Mellah, the Jewish quarter of his hometown. Trilingual (Judeo-Arabic, Hebrew, French) since his early childhood, he babbled his first words in Judeo-Moroccan Arabic; he learned Hebrew at the Talmud Torah by reading psalms and prayers; and did his primary studies in French at the Alliance Israélite Universelle.
After his secondary education in the village of young Nitsanim, an agricultural boarding school, he studied electronics at the Israeli Air Force School. After his military service, he completed a two-year training course in Switzerland in telecommunications. He worked for seven years at Tadiran, as director for installation of public telephone exchanges and published two books that were used in Bezeq schools for the training of telecom technicians. He developed a sequential method to simplify the study of the functions of a telephone exchange.[1]
In 1978, he established his own company, Technical Writing and offered services to the electronics industry as well as to the Israeli Ministry of Defense.
In 1979, he founded Hayofi, a beauty and aesthetics magazine, one of the first of its kind, which was published by subscription among beauticians and women's facialists, and distributed to newsstands throughout Israel.
In 1980, he founded the Stavit publishing house, where he published literary and ethnographic works in Hebrew and French. He thus became one of the few French-speaking publishers in Israel. At the same time, he pursued a self-taught career in graphic design and became art director of several magazines, including Moznaim, the writers' union, Politica initiated by the Meretz party, Mifagash, a Hebrew-Arabic literary periodical...
He has been living in France since 1988, where he continues his editorial activity and publishes mainly translations of Israeli authors into French. At the same time, he was for more than three years the artistic director of Famille & éducation, a monthly magazine with a circulation of one million copies for UNAPEL,[2] the association of parents of free education students.
In 2006, Parienté defended his doctoral thesis:[3] "La littérature israélienne traduite en français et publiée entre 1948 et 2005 - Étude bibliographique et socio-littéraire" (Israeli literature translated into French and published between 1948 and 2005 - A bibliographic and socio-literary study), which he obtained with the distinction "Très honorable avec félicitations du jury".[4] Within the framework of this thesis, he published two bibliographical works: 2000 titles with a Jewish theme - 1420 authors, prefaced by Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie, 1996, ed. StavNet, and Littératures d'Israël, 2003, ed. StavNet. It develops a thematic bibliographic search engine listing all Israeli works translated into French from 1948 to 2005. It is currently[when?] being updated and put online.
Within the framework of its editions, it publishes mainly literary and ethnographic works, in Hebrew as well as in French, including a boxed set of four books.[5] These include Jewish Life in Morocco - Arts and Traditions, a collective work co-published with the Israel Museum; The Saga of the Families of the Jews of Morocco, by Joseph Toledano; and Judeo-Moroccan Proverbs, collected and commented on by Hanania Dahan (two volumes in Arabic and Hebrew).[6][7][8]
He writes stories, novels and editorials in French and Hebrew, which are published regularly in Israel and France. He is a member of the Tel Aviv journalists' union.

His mother, Séti, belonged to the Amar family, a line of great rabbis and notables of the Jewish community of Meknes. She died at the age of 25, leaving her husband, Jacob Parienté, aged 27, and four children aged from eight years to six months. From his first wife, Myriam Cohen, he has a daughter Stavit and three grandchildren, Maya, Noam and Amitai. In 1990 he married Adriana Masel, born in Buenos Aires, the fourth Argentine generation of Jewish families: Masel and Braunstein, who came from Russia in the 19th century.
