In particular, he focuses on the question of posthumous sperm retrieval and reproduction: that giving life in the name of a fallen soldier can be a \u201csacred act of continuity\u201d for bereaved families and for the nation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This is an issue he actively and sadly, frequently, wrestles with, as a Major in the IDF, serving as lead officer on casualty counseling teams working with families who have lost a child in combat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Rabbi Dr. Shalom believes that posthumous reproduction is not only a legal or moral issue, but a sacred act of continuity, a way for bereaved families to transform unbearable loss into new life, faith and the eternity of Israel<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The original article in English can be read here: https:\/\/www.ynetnews.com\/opinions-analysis\/article\/skh00zv01bg<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YNET, the website of Israeli daily newspaper Yediot Achronot , published the article, \u201cTo grow hope from loss: Why Israel must let fallen soldiers\u2019 legacy live on\u201d by Rabbi Dr. Sharon Shalom, founder and director of the International Center for the Study of Ethiopian Jewry at Ono Academic College.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":34599,"menu_order":9,"template":"","class_list":["post-34598","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\/34598","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\/34599"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ono.ac.il\/eng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
