SUMMARY:New Works Wednesday with Sharon Shalom
DESCRIPTION:The ASF Institute of Jewish Experience presents: \nNew Works Wednesday with Sharon Shalom\nJoin us for New Works Wednesday with Rabbi Dr. Sharon Shalom who will discuss his new book “Dialogues of Love and Fear: A Rabbi’s Daughter\, a Kes’s Son\, and Hope for the Future.” \nWednesday\, 8 June at 12:00PM EST\n(Complimentary RSVP) \nAbout the book: \n“Dialogues of Love and Fear” is a work of imagination and insight that addresses fraught issues of our times in new and refreshing ways. The author\, whose own dramatic life journey has taken him from shepherd to professor\, from refugee to IDF officer\, and from student of a kes (religious leader) to rabbi of an Ashkenazi 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 every complex relationship carries with it. Covering a huge breadth of topics\, this heart-warming\, optimistic book offers a transformative perspective that is tolerant\, accessible\, and committed to Jewish tradition. \nAbout the speakers: \nRabbi Dr. Sharon Shalom made aliyah to Israel on his own in 1982 at the age of eight under Operation Bat Galim\, operated by the Mossad and the IDF commandos. Rabbi Sharon Shalom received his PhD in Jewish philosophy from Bar-Ilan University and his rabbinic ordination from Yeshivat Har Etzion in Gush Etzion. Today he serves as rabbi of Congregation Kedoshei Yisrael in Kiryat Gat. He currently serves as a lecturer at Orot Yisrael College in Elkanah and at Bar-Ilan University. Dr. Shalom lives with his wife\, Avital\, and their five children in Kiryat Gat. \nSteven Fine (born 1958)\, historian of Judaism in the Greco-Roman World\, is professor of Jewish History at Yeshiva University in New York\, director of the Arch of Titus Digital Restoration project and of the Yeshiva University Center for Israel Studies\, and a founding editor of-Images: A Journal of Jewish Art and Visual Culture. \nClick here for more about the book. \nSponsorship opportunities available: \ninfo@americansephardi.org
