Jewish Federations extend condolences over death of Pope Francis

Jewish Federations extend our condolences to the Catholic community over the death of Pope Francis, who was a friend to the Jewish community and across religious traditions.

 

He repeatedly condemned antisemitism as a "sin," and worked to build upon "Nostra Aetate," the landmark document which transformed Catholic-Jewish relations 60 years ago.

 

Our thoughts are with our Catholic brothers and sisters at this time.
