The International Council of Christians and Jews mourns the passing of Pope Francis and extends our condolences to Roman Catholics around the world.
Pope Francis championed the goals to which the ICCJ is also dedicated. Specifically, he embodied a deep commitment to Jewish-Christian relations, tri-lateral relations among Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and, more broadly, to global interfaith harmony.

A popular children's Chanukah song begins with these words: "We have come to dispel the darkness, in our hands are light and flame. Each individual is a small light, but together we are shining beacon." That is how I see the work to which we are committed: each of us in our own way bringing the light of learning, understanding, and "holy envy" to a world that desperately needs it.
While global interreligious harmony is still a distant dream, what has been accomplished so far demonstrates that the change we seek is possible.

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.”
