  • I Ask, Then, Has God Rejected His People? by No Means! for I Myself Am an Israelite, a Descendant of Abraham, a Member of the Tribe of Benjamin
    Romans 11:1-2a, 13-14, and 28-32 “People who Live by God’s Proclamation” I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew… 13 Now I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry 14 in order somehow to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them… 28 As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers. 29 For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. 30 For just as you were at one time disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, 31 so they too have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may now receive mercy. 32 For God has consigned all to disobedience, that he may have mercy on all. In American Christianity, Romans 11 has often been torn apart. You can find bits and pieces of it scattered about on the Internet, on various websites speaking about the end times and the restoration of Israel. These verses are joined to prophecies from Daniel, visions from Ezekiel, and images from Revelation. They are joined to doomsday predictions and headlines from newspapers, wars and rumors of wars in the Holy Land. With strong language and even stronger fervor, various Christian organizations fight for the nation of Israel.

  • Are Jewish Converts Still Jewish?
    Are Jewish Converts still Jewish? Interview with David Moss Ed. Faith magazine’s Patrick O’Brien interviewed David Moss, President of the Association of Hebrew Catholics (AHC). The AHC relocated to Ypsilanti, Michigan in Sept. 2001. [The interview below reflects some modifications made to fit a flyer produced by the AHC. The full interview may be found at http://www.faithmag.com/issues/mar02.html#cover]. Some people thought our February issue headline: ‘A Catholic Deacon Born Jewish’ implied that Deacon Warren Hecht was no longer Jewish. Is he? Well, the term Jew is ambiguous the way it is normally used. Sometimes it refers to a person’ religious practices and sometimes to a person’s ethnicity. Deacon Warren’s religious practices are not those of a Jew but of a Catholic. However, Deacon Warren remains a member of the Jewish people, or more properly, the People Israel. This is the people that descend from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. In their religious faith and practice, they may be Catholics, Rabbinical Jews, Protestants, or something else. Many Jews don’t like to be called converts since they already believed in God, and in their religious observances, they were already responding to that part of the Word of God in the Tanakh, or what we call the Old Testament. When we recognize the Messiah and enter His Church, we fulfill or complete our Old Testament Faith. But we do not lose our ethnicity, who we are. For clarity’s sake (since we do not practice Judaism) and to not offend our Jewish brothers and sisters, we do not use the term Jewish Catholic.

Rivista semestrale di Storia e Politica Internazionali Eunomia VII n.s. (2018), n. 1, 93-112 e-ISSN 2280-8949 DOI 10.1285/i22808949a7n1p93 http://siba-ese.unisalento.it, © 2018 Università del Salento VIVIANE SERFATY Yearning to Become a Jew: Donato Manduzio’s Conversion1 Abstract: Donato Manduzio was a Southern Italian peasant who only learned how to read and write in his early thirties, while convalescing in a military hospital during the First World War. Upon his return to San Nicandro Garganico, his reading of the Bible and the visions he experienced led him to believe that Judaism surpassed all other religions. As he was convinced that the Jewish people had disappeared from earth, he thought God had given him the mission of recreating His people. After chancing to discover the existence of organized Jewish communities in Italy, Manduzio set about obtaining an official conversion for himself and about seventy of his followers. This paper endeavors to shed light on the circumstances of this collective conversion and to elucidate its causes by examining its historical and sociological contexts.. Keywords: Donato Manduzio; San Nicandro Garganico; Religion; Judaism; Zionism; Bible; Conversion; Visions; Faith healing. Introduction: A brief sketch of conversions to Judaism The sacred Scriptures of all three monotheistic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam – contain foundational conversion stories. Unlike Christianity or Islam, however, Judaism has neither a tradition of mass conversions, nor missionaries, nor does it have a proselytizing program.

  • The High Cost of Hate Yom Kippur Gregory S. Marx October 2016 I Have a Confession to Make. I Begin This Yom Kippur Sermon With
    The High Cost of Hate Yom Kippur Gregory S. Marx October 2016 I have a confession to make. I begin this Yom Kippur sermon with an honest confession. On the one hand it’s a tad funny, but on the other hand it’s very serious. Sometimes, I cannot control my anger when I’m on the phone pushing buttons trying to speak to a customer service rep. The recorded message tells me repeatedly that they value my time. But they are lying. I compliantly push all the button, giving them the last four digits of my social and my home zip code and then when I get to a real person, they ask me the question all over again. And it fills my heart with, I’m sorry to say, rage. Can any of you relate to this? A few weeks ago, I found myself waiting for over half an hour, dutifully pushing the buttons, to speak to the right person, only to be disconnected not once but twice. Once reconnected, listening to that saccharine sweet voice saying, “I’m sorry, that option is not available, “ I found myself bellowing into the phone, “Customer Service.” It was embarrassing. A machine had rendered my insane. So I confess this human sin before you. The sin of Sinat Chinam, baseless hatred. My confession has liberated me. 1 Seriously, hate is everywhere. We saw two Presidential candidates so filled with hate for each other that they couldn’t even shake hands. Their faces turned red, they paced back and forth, and they scowled and pursed their lips.

  • The Catholic Church and Toward Jerusalem Council II Presentation at UMJC Conference, Baltimore
    1 Confronting Past Injustice: The Catholic Church and Toward Jerusalem Council II Presentation at UMJC Conference, Baltimore: July 17, 2015 I am very happy to accept this invitation to come and share about TJCII (Toward Jerusalem Council II) at this UMJC conference. First, because there were strong UMJC connections in the birth of TJCII. Marty Waldman was president at that time, and one of his first supporters was Dan Juster. But a second reason is my appreciation for the work of Mark Kinzer with which you will be familiar. One reason for this appreciation is my perception that Mark is in a key way the theologian of TJCII – a role so far not yet understood by all involved in the initiative! It is Mark who has articulated most clearly a bipartite ecclesiology, the vision of the Church made up of Jews and non-Jews, retaining their distinctiveness, but made one through the blood of the cross. But this bipartite ecclesiology is in effect the theological foundation of Toward Jerusalem Council II. For the TJCII vision is one of the restoration of this one Church of both Jew and Gentile, with a second Jerusalem council being a coming together in unity of both expressions of the Church in full mutual recognition and rightful honoring. The rightful honoring is a work of restitution. The past injustice of scorn and contempt was the exact opposite of honoring. Another reason why Mark Kinzer is a key theologian for TJCII is his recognition of the necessary role of the Catholic Church, with his knowledge of the Catholic tradition gained especially during his years working with Steve Clark at Ann Arbor.

The Catholic Church holds two claims about God which are difficult to reconcile. It is these conflicting claims that generate confusing signals to Jews and Catholics on Jewish-Catholic matters. The two claims are: [1] that the saving mission of Christ and his Church is willed by God to be universal, extending to every human being. [2] that God’s covenant with Israel, with the Jewish people according to the flesh, is irrevocable. Both claims seem to be essential to Catholic faith because they are unpacking the nature of revelation.
