Salaam/Shalom is the true story of a Jewish womans experiences as a teacher in an Islamic school as she embraces a beautiful awakening and learns to focus on likenesses rather than differences.
Janet Goldman relies on extensive research and her own personal experiences during her two years of teaching at the Islamic school to offer a compelling glimpse into the many similarities between Islam and Judaism. Through comparing religious and cultural practices, ranging from prayer traditions to food, Goldman hopes to help bridge religious barriers and encourage a peaceful world.
In this book, the lucid descriptions of both Jewish and Muslim traditions and our respective communities will help bring about understanding and hopefully, more peace through knowledge. Rabbi Alan Katz, Temple Sinai, Rochester, NY
Janets book is not only a self-reflection but also for many, a raising of the curtain.
