Will Judaism and Christianity meet in Ramat Gan? Bar-Ilan University President Rabbi Prof. Daniel Hershkowitz suggested during a meeting with Pope Francis last week that the Israeli university would serve as a home base for an interfaith dialogue, which the Catholic leader and former president Shimon Peres agreed to work together to advance.
During a visit to the Vatican with a delegation of businessmen and businesswomen from South America and Spain visited the Vatican, Prof. Hershkowitz explained that "as a microcosm of Israeli society, Bar-Ilan's doors are open to students of all races and religions. "Through a variety of ongoing dialogue programs aimed at fostering understanding and acceptance, Bar-Ilan University has been working to bridge gaps between various sectors of Israeli society for many years. "It is, therefore, a deep privilege to be meeting with and honoring the pope, who has taken it upon himself to undertake this tremendous task on a worldwide scale."
