Jesuits and Jews

June 30 – July 4, 2024
Katholische Akademie in Berlin

Die Gruppe der “Jesuits Among Muslims” (JAM) sowie der „Jesuits and Jews“ (J&J) versammelt Jesuiten aus allen fünf Kontinenten, die sich im christlich-muslimischen bzw. im christlich-jüdischen Dialog engagieren, um ihre Erfahrungen gemeinsam zu reflektieren und zu teilen. Sie arbeiten in unterschiedlichsten Bereichen und treffen sich jeweils alle zwei Jahre, um einen Raum des gemeinsamen Nachdenkens über gegenwärtige Dynamiken im Islam und im Verhältnis zu Muslimen bzw. über gegenwärtige Dynamiken im Judentum und im Verhältnis zu Juden zu schaffen. Im Juli 2024 treffen sich fünfunddreißig von ihnen für eine Woche an der Katholischen Akademie in Berlin.
