He also continues to serve as the congregational rabbi at an Ashkenazi synagogue in Kiriat Gat where he sometimes gives sermons in Yiddish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The review praises how the book\u2019s conversations between the&nbsp;son of&nbsp;a Kes&nbsp;and the daughter of&nbsp;a&nbsp;Rabbi&nbsp;\u201cdeal with societal and theological questions, which highlight their different backgrounds but also their desire to genuinely listen and build bridges by understanding the perspective of the other.\u201d&nbsp; This is indeed Rabbi Dr. Sharon\u2019s way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">To read the full review, click here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/jewishlink.news\/features\/55946-newly-translated-work-by-ethiopian-israeli-rabbi-offers-message-on-unity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/jewishlink.news\/features\/55946-newly-translated-work-by-ethiopian-israeli-rabbi-offers-message-on-unity<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ono Scholar\u2019s Unique Book about Ethiopian Jewish Theology Gets Rave Reviews The new book by&nbsp;Rabbi Dr. Sharon Zaude Shalom,&nbsp;the founding director of Ono Academic College\u2019s International Center for the Study [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29898,"menu_order":368,"template":"","class_list":["post-29900","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\/29900","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\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
