Guest speaker Rev. John Pawlikowski is a leading figure in the Christian- Jewish Dialogue and president of the International Council of Christians and Jews. He authored “Christ in the Light of the Christian Jewish Dialogue” and was co-editor of “Ethics in the Shadow of the Holocaust.”

Admission is free to attend and RSVP is required. Register at www.jewishnaples.org. A confirmation email will be sent to you immediately after you register, and the Zoom link will be emailed about 2 hours before the program is to start.
