Description

A Rabbi's Daughter, A Kes's Son,
And Hope For The Future
Dialogues of Love and Fear is a work of imagination and insight that addresses fraught issues of our times in new and refreshing ways. It is the tale of a rabbi's daughter and the son of an Ethiopian Jewish religious leader, a "kes." The author - whose own dramatic life journey has taken him from shepherd to professor, from refugee to IDF officer, from student of a kes to rabbi of an Ashkenazic synagogue - brings the many facets of his identity into dialogue in these brilliantly imagined conversations between two characters. Through them it provides a window into the world of Ethiopian Jewry, their challenges, and the deep questions that arise in every complex relationship. Covering a huge breadth of topics, this heart-warming, optimistic book offers a transformative perspective that is tolerant, accessible, and committed to Jewish tradition.
Rabbi Dr. Shalom is a shining light of not only Ethiopian Jewry but of the Jewish people as a whole.
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, zt"l
This is a book with surprising simplicity and surprising depth, all wrapped into one. It provides fascinating perspectives on the meeting of cultures, and sheds light on the seventy facets of life.
Professor Emerita Tzviya Walden, Ben Gurion University
Rabbi Dr. Shalom discusses the philosophical, social, and even familial challenges of integration with an open, sensitive heart and deep insight.
Rabbi Professor Yehuda Brandes, Herzog College
Shalom's synthesis is as tolerant as it is gentle. In it he finds a place for Ethiopian tradition among the varieties of Jews and Judaism that make up the contemporary Jewish tapestry.
Professor Steven Fine, Yeshiva University
