  • How Then Shall We Live-Together?” By: Karl D
    “How Then Shall We Live-Together?” By: Karl D. Coke, Ph. D. For nearly two thousand years, a hostility has existed between Jews and Christians. An opportunity has presented itself to end this useless hostility. Over sixty Jewish Orthodox Rabbis published an unprecedented and historical statement on December 3, 2105 that opens the door for Christians to work with Jews to “... perfect the world under the sovereignty of the Almighty, so that all humanity will call on His name ...” Orthodox Rabbinic Statement on Christianity December 3, 2015 To Do the Will of Our Father in Heaven: Toward a Partnership between Jews and Christians “After nearly two millennia of mutual hostility and alienation, we Orthodox Rabbis who lead communities, institutions and seminaries in Israel, the United States and Europe recognize the historic opportunity now before us. We seek to do the will of our Father in Heaven by accepting the hand offered to us by our Christian brothers and sisters. Jews and Christians must work together as partners to address the moral challenges of our era. The Shoah [catastrophe] ended 70 years ago. It was the warped climax to centuries of disrespect, oppres- sion and rejection of Jews and the consequent enmity that developed between Jews and Christians.” This bold statement follows years of Jewish and Christian dialogues where Christians have reached out to the Orthodox Jewish community despite the past horrors brought upon Jews by Christians. With great respect, many Jewish Rabbis have accepted the Christian hands offered them. Although some will resist or take advan- tage of this statement, I responded positively on December 29, 2015 to three Orthodox rabbis who have ac- cepted me as their friend.

    ISRAELTeaching Letter www.bridgesforpeace.com Vol. # 770717 l July 2017 Alex Motrenko/istock.com By Rev. Terry Mason, Deputy–International Development Bridges for Peace...Your Israel Connection ® "The world is becoming a more dangerous place" GLOBAL PEACE INDEX E ARE IN A TIME in world history when the confron- tation between the forces of good and evil, light and darkness, seems more pronounced than ever before. Recently a major think tank, The Institute for Economics and Peace, published its annual Global Peace Index. Their less than surprising conclusion was, “The worldW is becoming a more dangerous place.” According to their findings, of the 195 countries in the world only ten (5%) are currently free from conflict. By their measure the global lack of peace increased in both 2015 and 2016. We shouldn’t be surprised. Daniel 11 and 12 describe the difficulties and distress that will accompany the end of days. In the Gospel of Matthew (24:4–13) we find the same warning when Yeshua (Jesus) told us that there will be wars and rumors of wars, increasing natural disasters and that lawlessness will increase. Clearly, the Bible tells us that all of these things will happen with increasing frequency as the end of the age draws near. 2 l July 2017 Abir Sultan/wikiflicker.com The battle is over values. Individuals, families and whole nations must choose on which side of this cosmic battle they will take their stand. Every day we are each faced with choices; our responses to those choices will show our allegiance, strengthening one side or the other.

  • Rabbi Riskin Confronts Rav Soloveitchik in Makor Rishon: Jewish Israel Responds
    Rabbi Riskin Confronts Rav Soloveitchik in Makor Rishon: Jewish Israel Responds In May 2012 the Israeli newspaper Makor Rishon ran a seven-page feature article, penned by Chief Rabbi of Efrat Shlomo Riskin, in their "Shabbat HaGadol" supplement. The subject matter was whether or not Jewish-Christian theological dialogue is permissible. Rabbi Riskin, a maverick on interfaith issues, has on more than one occasion ventured out onto an extreme theological limb. This time around, Rabbi Riskin appears to have inverted the inherent intent of Rabbi Joseph Dov Ber Soloveitchik’s (J.B. Soloveitchik, "the Rav") major essay on the subject, "Confrontation". The treatise, which was formulated in 1964, is widely interpreted within Orthodox circles to be a halachic psak proscribing interfaith theological encounters. However Rabbi Riskin contends, in the Makor Rishon article, that the intention of the Rav's essay was to permit, rather than prohibit, such theological dialogue. Concurrently, Riskin opens his personal "postscript" to Soloveitchik's "Confrontation" by inferring that the timing and the history of the document limits its application, as it was written one and a half years before the ratification of Nostra Aetate, and in response to the Catholic-Jewish dialogue taking place at the time. Rabbi Riskin's premise is puzzling, because it is well documented in Rav Soloveitchik's personal letters, as well as noted in contemporary academic papers, that the Rav had already formulated his firm position on interfaith concerns as early as 1950 - many years before the Vatican ll initiative. In addition, “Confrontation” continued to guide the Rabbinical Council of America (RCA) on interfaith developments well into the 1980's, long after Nostra Aetate.

  • Informational Brochure
    THE CENTER FOR JEWISH-CHRISTIAN UNDERSTANDING AND COOPERATION OUR STORY In January of 2008, a historical moment took place between the Synagogue and Church, when Rabbi Shlomo Riskin and David Nekrutman established the first Orthodox Jewish institution, the Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding & Cooperation (CJCUC), dedicated to religious dialogue, mutual understanding and active cooperation with Christians. In less than a decade, CJCUC has moved to the forefront of theological advancements in Jewish-Christian relations. CJCUC has changed the Jewish-Christian relational paradigm by engaging tens of thousands of Christians through Bible studies, developing Jewish theology with a positive understanding of Christianity and Christians, organizing faith based events that bring Jews and Christians together, and coordinating humanitarian aid for Christians in need. Over the years, the CJCUC staff has educated Orthodox Jews regarding the importance of a Jewish-Christian alliance rooted in our common Judeo-Christian ethics. In 2015, CJCUC facilitated the first Orthodox Rabbinic Statement on Christianity, which more than 60 Orthodox Rabbis have signed. Members of CJCUC’s staff officially represent the State of Israel on the International Jewish Committee for Inter-religious Consultations (IJCIC), which is the official dialogue partner with the Vatican, the World Council of Churches and Christian Orthodox Churches. CJCUC is also the leading member of the Israel Jewish Council on Inter-religious Relations (IJCIR). In 2011, Rabbi Shlomo Riskin was awarded the honorary title from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Goodwill Ambassador for Jewish-Christian Relations for the State of Israel. HEBRAIC BIBLE ROOTS STUDY Many Christians visit Israel as an expression of their support for the Jewish Homeland, and we, at CJCUC, understand the need for an institutional response to welcome these visitors.

Hundreds of Christians Joined Rabbi Riskin to Celebrate Sukkot Contact: CJCUC Media Department, 516­882­3220 EFRAT, Israel, Oct. 22, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ ­­ Last week, hundreds of Christians from around the world celebrated the Feast of Tabernacles in Israel with Rabbi Shlomo Riskin that included a 'praise service' of the Hallel – Psalms 113­118. The event was unprecedented, the first time an Orthodox Jewish Rabbi invited the Christian community to such a gathering. Rabbi Riskin SUBMIT is the Chief Rabbi of Efrat, serves as Israel's Ambassador for Jewish­Christian Relations and is Founder of the Center for Jewish­Christian Understanding and Cooperation (CJCUC). Long time veteran in Jewish­Christian relations, Cheryl Hauer of Bridges for Peace said, "I waited 25 years for this moment and this was the first time where we (Christians) felt completely accepted by the Jewish community in the Land." The service took place at CJCUC's headquarters in Efrat in partnership with other Jewish personalities who have extensive relationships with the Christian community such as Rabbi Tuly Weisz of Israel365, Sondra Baras the head of Christian Friends of Israel Communities, Yitzchak Sokoloff of Keshet Educational Tours and Jonathan Feldstein of Heart to Heart. "We enabled Christians to experience a central component of Jewish praise in a way that appreciates the depth of our connection to God, bringing us that much closer to the realization of the visions of our prophets," Baras said.

As God prophesied long ago through the prophets, and Jewish sages have confirmed, God seems to have hidden His face from the Jewish people for a time, but now He is making Himself known for the sake of His name.
