 A
Blessing to One Another- Pope John Paul II & the Jewish People
Pave the Way Foundation co-sponsored this exhibit with the Center for Interreligious Understanding and the Museum of Jewish Heritage.
September
6, 2006 through February 23, 2007, the
Museum
of Jewish
Heritage
in
New York City
will host an historic exhibition: “A Blessing to One Another:
Pope John Paul II and the Jewish People.” Celebrating Pope John
Paul II’s contribution to repairing and strengthening
relationships between members of the Catholic and Jewish faiths,
this informative and inspiring exhibit includes photos, video
footage, documents and priceless artifacts. The exhibit opened
to rave reviews in
Cincinnati
and
Washington
DC,
serving as opportunity for people of different faiths to come
together and understand what Pope John Paul II did to improve
Catholic/Jewish relations and hopefully to recognize what we all
can do to carry forward his work of increasing understanding and
tolerance between all religious groups.
