Abstract

The starting point for the article are the primary tensions between Jews and Christians. Against that background, the Author shows the historic breakthrough in Judeo-Christian relations that happened after the Second Vatican Council. It enabled Judaism and Christianity to enter the path of brotherhood and dialogue. According to the Author, this was possible due to the efforts made by the popes (i.e. John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis) and joint Christian-Jewish institutions and organizations. The Author also emphasizes that Christian-Jewish relations are characterized
by showing mutual respect while at the same time preserving their own identity and remaining faithful to their religious and spiritual tradition. The article ends with the presentation of the Author’s personal experience with the Christian-Jewish dialogue.
