The Sister Rose Thering Fund's annual "Dr. Marcia Robbins-Wilf Lecture" at Seton Hall

The South Orange community is invited to join the Sister Rose Thering Fund at its annual "Dr. Marcia Robbins-Wilf lecture," as part of a year-long celebration of Building Bridges: 60 Years of Jewish-Christian Dialogue at Seton Hall.

Dr. Michael Berenbaum and Dr. John Pawlikowski will be the featured speakers at the annual lecture held on Sunday, March 10 at 2 PM on the Seton Hall University campus, Jubilee Hall Auditorium, 400 South Orange Avenue, South Orange, N.J.

Dr. Berenbaum, prolific writer and editor, is the former Director of the United States Holocaust Research Institute at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. Berenbaum has been praised for his description of contemporary Jewish thought in his book, After Tragedy and Triumph.  Dr. Pawlikowski is the immediate past president of the International Council of Christians and Jews and serves as professor of social ethics at the Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, and is director of its Catholic-Jewish Studies Program.

Dr. Berenbaum and Dr. Pawlikowski will address “Catholic-Jewish Relations Since Nostra Aetate.”  Nostra Aetate, (In our Age), the Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions,  was written as a result of the historic changes made by the Catholic Church during the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965).  

The March 10 Dr. Marcia Robbins Wilf Lecture is open to the public and free of charge.  For additional information, contact the Sister Rose Thering Fund, srtf@shu.edu, or call 973-761-9006.
