At the end of 2001 I started KESHET, the first secular Jewish magazine in Italy. For many years I have been taking part in meetings and activities of groups of Jews who feel that the communal life in the established (Orthodox) institutions in Italy is out of keeping with their cultural needs and deepest vocation. So, about three and a half years ago I became a close friend with the late Franco Israel Piazzese, and through him I got to know Shlomo Dayan, a member of the group of secular Jews that Franco led all over Italy. 2. Shlomo Dayan is a very reliable, warm-hearted young person. In the last two years I noticed that Shlomo has been one of the most active members in the group which established the Italian Association for Secular Humanistic Jews under the leadership of Franco Israel Piazzese. So far as I know, Franco had great confidence in Shlomo, and placed good hopes in his commitment to become a Rabbi – the first secular Rabbi in Italy. I had several opportunities to see that Shlomo is able to perform every task he takes upon himself very seriously and effectively. Since Franco's death, Shlomo has been taking his place in arranging a daily electronic information service for all the members of our Association, so offering a very valuable connecting framework among us. 3. As a young man, Shlomo is aware he has still a lot of work to do in order to get acquainted with the lore of Jewish culture and traditions. But I know how deeply committed he is in seizing any available piece of information concerning the literature, the intellectual and social history and the present situation of the Jewish people, in Israel and the Diaspora.
