EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
We have developed an
action plan that includes three programs;
1.- Distribution of
the Brochure John Paul II and the Jews- you can find a copy in three languages
on our website (www.ourelderbrothers.org). This four page brochure
was reviewed by Dr. Eugene Fisher, a top scholar who spent more than 30 years at
the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and is the only US citizen who is a
Consultor (in Latin) to the Pope on Jewish Affairs.
Our goal is to
distribute MILLIONS of these brochures all over the world, starting with trying
to reach Catholics, Jews and people of good faith. It is our goal that each new
seminarist or student to the rabbinate should receive the brochure during the
first week of classes or during their first semester of studies. At this stage a
member of the faculty will address the document John Paul and the Jews.
2.- Universal
celebration in every Synagogue and Catholic Church in the World on April 13 of
every year commemorating John Paul II's visit to the Great Synagogue of Rome in
1986. The American Jewish Committe- Miami Chapter- is joint venturing this
program with us starting on April 13/08. We invite the leadership of every
Synagogue and Catholic Church to join us in this celebration.
3.-Working with
Catholic and Jewish educational institutions so that they can include modules
about John Paul II and the Jews in their curriculum.
