L

nity of Vienna in June 1988,
when he said that the center
"would produce fertile re-
sults and serve as a model
for other nations."
Observers here believe
that this reference to the
pontiff clearly indicates that
the pope personally approv-
ed the statement which, Vat-
ican sources say, should
bring to an end "an unfortu-
nate conflict" between Jews
and Catholics.
Responding to the state-
ment, World Jewish Con-
gress President Edgar
Bronfman recommended
"that the freeze be lifted in
the formal dialogue with the
Vatican that was instituted
in February at the time of
the failure to carry out the
Geneva agreement on re-
moval of the convent at
Auschwitz."
He made his recommenda-
tion to his group and to

Abraham Foxman
called the Vatican
statement a
"significant step to
restore harmony to
Catholic-Jewish
relations."

IJCIC, the International
Jewish Committee for Inter-
faith Consultations, which
was formed 25 years to ago
to talk with the Vatican.
On Tuesday, Seymour
Reich, the newly elected
chairman of IJCIC, called
the Vatican statement "a
heartening development."
Reich, who is president of
B'nai B'rith International,
said that now "the way will
be clear for a resumption of
the dialogue that, following
the issuance of Nostra
Aetate, marked a historic
watershed in the 2,000-year
relationship between the
Catholic and Jewish com-
munities."
Rabbi Jack Bemporad,
chairman of the inter-
religious committee of the
Synagogue Council of Amer-
ica, an IJCIC member group,
said, "This means that the
two decades of close rela-
tions between IJCIC and the
Vatican commission can
continue to discuss issues of
mutual concern for the im-
provement of relations be-
tween the Catholic Church
and the Jewish people on
such questions as anti-
Semitism, the Holocaust,
racism and human rights."
Tensions in the past few
months over the convent
mounted not only between
Catholics and Jews, but
within the Jewish communi-

"May we and all
thy .people Israel
be inscribed in the
Book of life, blessing,
Peace and Prosperity."

The Cantors' Council of Detroit, consisting
of Orthodox, Conservative and Reform
Cantors, wishes a year of peace, prosperity,
health and happiness to the entire Jewish
community.
