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. Book jacket.
