Suffering and Hope
Reflections in a Time of Wars, Enmities, and Seasons of Festivals of Light offered by members of ICCJ's Theology Committee
In one of our monthly Zoom meetings of the Theology Committee of the International Council of Christians and Jews, the conversation focused on the tragedies continuing to unfold around the world. We asked ourselves, how can we celebrate the forthcoming feasts of Hanukkah and Christmas in the midst of such global suffering? That led each of us to offer these reflections from our respective Jewish and Christian perspectives, entitled, “Suffering and Hope: Reflections in a time of Wars, Enmities and Seasons of Festivals of Light.”
