NAOMI RAGEN RECOMMENDS A BOOK: “A SHEPHERD’S JOURNEY”
Dear Friends,
I have just finished reading one of the most interesting, wonderful, amusing
and enlightening books about Israel
that is currently on the market. It is Ishmael Khaldi’s “A Shepherd’s
Journey.” http://www.ishmaelkhaldi.com
Ishmael Khaldi, born into a traditional Bedouin family in the Galillee,
went from tending goats to become Israel’s first Bedouin diplomat and one
of the country’s most effective spokespersons. As a Muslim and a Bedouin,
Khaldi
passionately defends the Jewish state from its detractors on American
campuses, giving the true picture of a young nation struggling to allow its
minorities freedom and opportunities unavailable to them in any other Muslim
country in the Middle East.
The story of Ishmael’s first exciting foray into the American dream in a
wild and not very well prepared trip to New York City –where he winds up
being rescued by Hassidim in Boro Park!– is alone worth the price of the
book.
Khaldi, who served in the Israeli Army along with his brothers, considers
his work on the diplomatic front just a continuation of his army service in
defending his country. I truly love this guy.
For those of us who love Israel and are trying to combat the relentless
propaganda against her, this amazing, honest tale of a young Israeli
Bedouin’s rise is inspiring and eye-opening. Israel’s true answer to when
peace will come is when the Ishmael Khaldis take over the education of
Muslims here and abroad. Please buy this book and recommend it to all.
