On Sunday, May 1, 2016 at 7:30 PM, as we light Yom HaShoah Yizkor candles, remembering those who died during the Shoah, we welcome to Temple, Professor Dr. John Borelli, Special Assistant to the President for Interreligious Initiatives at
Georgetown University, who will address the topic: Vatican II: 50 Years of Nostra Aetate – Where we were, Where we are, Where we are headed.
As Special Assistant to the President for Interreligious Initiatives at Georgetown University, Dr. Borelli designs and coordinates special projects that further the University’s contributions to interreligious dialogue and understanding. Prior to this, Dr. Borelli served as Associate Director of the Secretariat for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops where he staffed the Bishops’ Subcommittee on Interreligious Dialogue,
The Holocaust influenced the thinking and actions of both Pope John XXIII and Pope Paul VI. The Shoah initiated a turning point in formal Catholic-Jewish relations, triggering soul-searching among religious people trying to understand the
persecution and murder of six million human beings solely because of their religion beliefs.
We are grateful to Fred and Lesley Israel and to Dr. Joseph Prudhomme, Director of the Institute for the Study of Religion, Politics and Culture at Washington College who were instrumental in bringing Dr. Borelli to Temple B’nai Israel for this program. Please call Nancy at the Temple Office: 410-822-0553 to register.
