Breaks:
Hafsakah – Visit Exhibit Area (Coffee served)   03:00 PM to 03:15 PM (15 minutes)
Where:
Hotel Irvine - Theater
How:
The sharp political divisions do not yet threaten the strong Christian-Jewish relationship, which our Reform Jewish community has built for more than a century.

As hate messages multiply and are too readily overlooked by our political leadership, we need to deal with them, and, also build a stronger foundation for our efforts. The historical context of our discussions have shifted. Nostra aetate raised difficult theological considerations. In this session, we will discuss what positions are possible now, what remains to be considered, and what is off the table in the current Jewish Christian dialogue.
