Screening of "I am Joseph Your Brother"

This 59-minute film, made in Israel in 2001, directed by Amy Kronish and Eli Tal-El, documents the visit of Pope John Paul II to Israel in 2000. It reflects the changes in relationships between Jews and Christians, Judaism and Christianity, and the State of Israel and the Vatican. It is closely related to the theme of Building Bridges between faiths and is also appropriate since it shows the results of the work of Monsignor John M. Oesterreicher in the passage of Nostra Aetate, a singular document that has formed the basis of improved Jewish-Catholic relations since 1965. Commentators: Fr. Michael McGarry, formerly of the Tantour Institute in Israel, and Amy Kronisch, Director.
