At the Vatican: AJC Marks 60 Years of Catholic-Jewish Partnership AJC Director of Interreligious Affairs Rabbi Noam Marans met Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican for the second time since his inauguration as part of AJC’s year-long, global commemoration of the 60th anniversary of Nostra Aetate. This groundbreaking Vatican declaration transformed Catholic-Jewish relations by rejecting collective Jewish responsibility for Jesus’ death and calling for genuine interfaith dialogue. As a key partner in shaping the original 1965 document, AJC continues this essential work today by strengthening the alliance that remains critical to Jewish communities’ safety worldwide. 🎯 Why it Matters | Amid rising antisemitism around the world, the foundation that Nostra Aetate established allows our communities to navigate difficult conversations, including those around Israel’s defensive war with Hamas, productively and in good faith, ensuring that six decades of progress continues to protect global Jewry in an increasingly dangerous time. 🔦 Go Deeper | Rabbi Marans’ recent op-eds in the National Catholic Reporter and The Jewish Chronicle describe how Catholic-Jewish relations forged through Nostra Aetate have never been more critical to shaping a new, brighter future.
