CLAL Rabbis Join Delegation to Meet the Pope
Building Catholic-Jewish
relations, Rabbi Tsvi Blanchard, Ph.D., CLAL’s Director of Organizational
Development, joined a delegation of five American bishops and two rabbis,
including CLAL founder Rabbi Irving “Yitz” Greenberg, to Rome for a private
meeting with Pope Benedict XVI. His Holiness emphasized the importance of
social solidarity whereby each is responsible for the other, a value
shared by both traditions as a message that must be spread. While
overseas, the group also went to Poland to tour Auschwitz, to further
sensitize the bishops on Jewish issues and help them understand where the
two traditions differ in their points of view. The two-part trip was
sponsored by the prestigious Center for Christian-Jewish Understanding.
