However, thanks to the ultra-Orthodox track at Ono Academic College that allowed for some studies in women-only settings, I was able to fulfill my dream and study law at the highest level, without sacrificing the values on which I was raised.\u201d Ohana continued to recount with excitement how she flourished throughout her educational experience at Ono.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Ohana concluded by noting the steps that both secular and ultra-Orthodox Israelis must take to improve society:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>The secular Israeli needs to understand and acknowledge the burning desire of the ultra-Orthodox student who aspires to be immersed in the world of Torah all of his or her life. On the other hand, the ultra-Orthodox Israeli needs to understand the immense humiliation experienced by a secular woman who is required to sit at the back of the bus.\u00a0 A bridge of opinions and understanding can be built with the help of ultra-Orthodox women and men who possess a rich inner world, who will help shape the common civic culture, and who will make their voices heard. I know this is exactly what I will start doing two months from today [when I begin my new job at the State Attorney\u2019s Office], and I look forward to working with talented people of all backgrounds, who will join me in building this all-important bridge for our future, and the future of our children.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For the complete speech click: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kikar.co.il\/410365.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.kikar.co.il\/410365.html<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Beit Yaakov ultra-Orthodox School to the Supreme Court \u2013 Ono Graduate Tells Her Story Esti Ohana, who graduated from Ono Academic College with a degree in law and has [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":29317,"menu_order":502,"template":"","class_list":["post-29316","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categories_news-updates_news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/29316","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
