GRADUATION Trays & BB() migrate with them. "Let God do his work," says the nun of heavenly help to dispel the hate. How do Sister Rose's brothers and sis- ters under the collar react to her unflag- ging dedication to debunking the notion of Jewish deicide? She has received incredible support. And, "my own family is very much . behind me, too," she says. That family extends to the classroom, where she has been a saving grace as a teacher for decades. "I urge them to think about what they have to do in order to be a better Christian,"' she says of her students at New Jersey's Seton Hall University, where the nun has been teaching in the department of Jewish-Christian studies since it was established in 1968 by Monsignor John M. Oesperreicher, "who was driven out of Germany by the Nazis." Sister Rose has been bumped and jos- tled along the way, too. Visiting Vienna to protest the 1986 inauguration of Austrian President Kurt Waldheim, whose Nazi links had been revealed at the time, she was handled none too nicely by the crowd, with a yellow Star of David sewn onto her coat ripped off during a mini-melee. She's still got the fight in her; if she is driven with a mission, it is one that is bi-clerical: "We are the only department in the country that gives a graduate degree in Judeo-Christian relations," claims Sister Rose of the program now headed by Orthodox Rabbi Asher Finkel. A study in earnestness, the Dominican nun's study of Jews' non-culpability in the killing of Christ had wound its way to Vatican II with interfaith assistance. "A copy of my study was taken to the council by Rabbi Marc Tannenbuam," she says of the late national director of interreligious affairs of the American Jewish Committee. But that was so long ago. Will the new Pope Benedict XVI provide contin- uing benedictions over Jewish-Christian relations? By choosing the name of Benedict, she says, it shows his intent. And that "means he'll be peaceful." Indeed, Sister Rose is optimistic about future interfaith works. In a very real way, she is living proof of what it means to be a little bit of heaven on earth. "I live in a home for Jewish seniors," says the nun. 'And that's a statement." ❑ Sister Rose's Passion debuts on Cinemax 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 24. Check your local cable listings.
