In 2020, Rishon and rapper Yitz Jordan (Y-Love) announced plans to create a Jewish Community Center specifically for Jews of color. The community center would be open to all Jews, but focused on Jews of color, and would build bridges both within the Jewish community and between Jews of color and other minorities.
Ariel Samson, Freelance Rabbi was a finalist for the 2018 National Jewish Book Award's Goldberg Award for Debut Fiction. Rishon says that he hopes the semi-autobiographical novel can challenge stereotypes about Jews of Color, and make a place for them in the larger Jewish community.
He has also contributed to the Kveller Haggadah. Rishon has also dabbled in playwrighting, contributing in 2017 to The Jewish Plays Project alongside playwrights Susan Bernfield, Sarah Gancher, and MJ Kaufman.
Shais Rishon, also known by the pen name MaNishtana, is an African-American Orthodox rabbi, activist, and writer. He has written for Tablet, Kveller, The Forward, Jewcy, and Hevria, as well as writing a semi-autobiographical novel under his pen name. In 2014, he was included in The Jewish Week's "36 Under 36", an annual list of influential Jews under age 36.
In 2013, Rishon wrote an open letter criticizing New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind for wearing blackface at a Purim celebration.
Rishon has a wife, Guliene Rollins-Rishon, and daughter, who was born in late 2013. His wife is a biracial Jew and a descendant of Rabbi Yom-Tov Lipman Heller.
