Excellent! This is a first step. We have to see where to go from here. Could it be that Israel is finding its soul back? Wonder of wonders?



Rabbinate Cuts Vatican Ties

Shevat 3, 5769, 28 January 09 06:50

(IsraelNN.com) The Chief Rabbinate broke ties with the Vatican on Tuesday in protest of the Pope's decision to reinstate Bishop Richard Williamson, who is a known Holocaust denier. Williamson recently claimed that 200,000 to 300,000 Jews were murdered by Nazis during the Holocaust, not six million.

Rabbinate Director-General Oded Weiner wrote a letter to the Holy See Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews explaining the decision. "Without an official apology and recanting, it will be difficult to continue the dialog," he said.
