Anti-Semitism - Eilat Interfaith Encounter on 18th April 2007:

Theme: Anti-Semitism

The term Anti-Semitism is relatively new and was formed in Germany. In the sources, referring to Christianity, the term was "Hate of Israel". Christianity came to complete Judaism. Jesus is the messiah and in his time Torah was opened for all. The Jews did not accept Jesus as a messiah and here starts the hatred.

On the cross four letters are written, which are the abbreviation for "Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews".

There are two kinds of Anti-Semitism: religious – which allowed the possibility to convert to Christianity and save the life; and racial, as that of the Nazis – in which there is no way to save the life and the solution is extermination.

Next encounters will deal with hierarchy in the religions. We already had one encounter and will have the second after the summer vacation and then will report the whole subject.
