Shabbat Evening Services: Interfaith Shabbat - What Can Jews Learn from Catholicism?

Friday, January 22, 2021 9 Sh'vat 5781

7:30 PM - 9:00 PM

Our annual Interfaith Weekend with St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church features scholar in residence Rabbi Dr. Josh Garroway, who studies the intersections of early Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism.

Famed Swedish theologian Krister Stendahl coined the term “holy envy” to describe the admiration of another religion that often arises in interfaith dialogue. Despite a checkered past, Jews and Christians are now beginning to encounter one another on more generous terms. Looking at our shared roots and interwoven histories, we will explore what inspiration Jews might find in Catholic tradition, and what inspiration Catholics can take from Judaism.

You can watch on Facebook Liveour Livestream, or on YouTube.
