7. I've worked with Rav Sharon
Leonie Lachmish   (10.12.10)
He is one of the most charismatic, caring, humourous, intelligent , fascinating and open-minded people you can hope to meet. His story is a film waiting to be made and if orthodoxy wants to salvage any glory, he should be brought to the masses with his own TV and radio shows. He is also a lecturer at Bar Ilan University and soon onto his post-doctorate.

FYI, Ethiopian Jews came from two regions of Ethiopia, both in the Northern part of the country. The majority of them are from Gonder/Amhara region and the minority are from Tigre region. The Amhara speak Amharic and the Tigre speak Tigrigna, Afro-Semitic languages.
