The recent violence in Israel and Lebanon has opened up many lines of communication between the Jewish community and other religious organizations in the United States. As people of faith we are all equally concerned about the recent events and the most appropriate way to interpret them.
Rev. John Pawlikowski and Rabbis Ruth Langer and Michael A. Signer provide an example of such open dialogue. On July 17-18 they exchanged a number of emails regarding the current events in the Middle East. In their thought-provoking discussion we are able to see an exemplary model of interreligious dialogue. The Boston College Center for Christian-Jewish learning posted this Informal Catholic-Jewish Dialogue on the Israel - Hezbollah Conflict and provides an opportunity for others to get involved in the conversation as well.
