In 1140 Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi wrote of his fears that when Jews had power they would abuse it, just as others. We can no longer deny that we’ve reached this point.

The Importance of the Jewishness of Jesus for Interpreting the Gospels
Ervin Budiselić. In the first part of the paper, we will address certain theological and historical reasons for the exclusion of the Jewishness of Jesus from both Judaism and Christianity. In the second part, we will discuss the importance of the Jewishness of Jesus for understanding the worldview context of the biblical authors. In the last part, as a case study, we will demonstrate through the interpretation of Matthew 16,13‑20 (the issue of »the rock«) and Luke 11,1‑4 (the Lord’s Prayer) through »Jewish eyes« that we can gain a different and even better interpretation of these two texts that better fit the context of the biblical writers.

‘They Beheld God, and They Ate and Drank’
The pericope of the theophany during a banquet from Exodus is an interesting text to discuss in relation to Jewish-Christian interaction. The banquets analysed here (the theophany during a banquet from Exodus, and the Last Supper) have different meanings and importance in both religions and have evolved liturgically in completely different ways.

New Year's greetings from ICCJ President Liliane Apotheker to all engaged in Jewish-Christian dialogue.
2023 will probably not be a year predisposed to silence, there will be a need to display solidarity with all minorities that are assailed, especially but maybe not only in the field of Jewish Christian dialogue. We are all in this together and we can draw strength from that.
