  • The Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel: Reflections on Its Sixtieth Anniversary
    Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations Volume 3(2008): 1-15 Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations A peer-reviewed e-journal of the Council of Centers on Jewish-Christian Relations Published by the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning at Boston College The Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel: Reflections on its Sixtieth Anniversary Volume 3 (2008): 1- 15 http://escholarship.bc.edu/scjr/vol3 On May 14, 1948, on the eve of the expiration of the British Mandate, Jewish leaders in Mandatory Palestine gathered at the Tel Aviv Museum and issued a Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel. Like the American Declaration of Independence, this document sets forth their rationale for the formation of the state and the ideals that these leaders hoped it would embody. The founding of the state, mandated by the United Nations, was greeted with widespread joy in the Jewish world and with universal belligerence in the Arab world. Many parts of the Christian world, in many ways caught between the two and embedded in the legacy of its own anti- Judaism, were dismayed over this resumption of Jewish sovereignty over the Holy Land. Now, sixty years later, a revolution has occurred in the teachings of the Catholic and many Protestant churches about Jews and Juda- ism. In dialogue settings, the topic of Israel is very much on the table, no longer the proverbial “elephant in the room,” even if full un- derstanding remains an unattained goal. In this context, the editors of Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations have invited a series of brief reflections on the text of the “Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel” from the perspective of the author’s own en- gagement in Christian-Jewish relations.
