warmth, Pope Paul ex-
pressed to the Jewish
leaders "and for your
families, but widely still
for the entire Jewish
people our best wishes
for happiness and
peace."
The most dramatic ex-
pression of his growing
interest and appreciation of
Judaism as a source of reli-
gious insight and inspira-
tion became manifest in his
study of several books on
the philosophy of Judaism
by the late Rabbi Abraham
Joshua Heschel, with whom
he developed a personal
friendship.

II left a particularly
forceful impression on
the Jewish people.
Of profound importance
was the fact that after Pope
Paul visited Christian
shrines in Jerusalem and
saw first-hand how well
they had been cared for by
the Israeli government, he
abandoned the Vatican's
earlier policy calling for the
internationalization of the
city of Jerusalem. In his
audience with Golda Meir
in January 1973 — a most
cordial audience despite
newspaper reports to the
contrary — he repeated his
gratitude for Israel's
safeguarding of Chris-
tianity's holiest shrines.
