Sixty years ago, the Vatican developed new guidelines on how Catholics throughout the world should treat Jews and other religious groups. This landmark document, known as Nostra Aetate, "In Our Time," was an important step to creating interreligious dialogue and repairing relationships between Jewish communities and Catholic communities.
Join us on Monday, November 24 at 1:00 PM for a virtual conversation exploring how Nostra Aetate continues to impact the Catholic and Jewish communities in our region, the importance of Jewish-Catholic dialogue at this time, and what the future holds for interfaith relations.
We will hear from Fr. Donald Rooney, Director of the Office of Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs for the Catholic Diocese of Arlington and the Pastor at St. Bernadette Catholic Church in Springfield, VA; Rabbi Ben Sigal, Assistant Rabbi at Congregation Olam Tikvah in Fairfax, VA; and Dr. Sousan Abadian, Executive Director of the Interfaith Council of Metropolitan Washington.
Opening remarks by Alan Ronkin, Regional Director of AJC Washington. Moderated by Rabbi Abbi Sharofsky, JCRC Director of Intergroup Relations and Rabbi-in-Residence.
