Jewish political leverage contributed to passage of landmark civil rights laws, nationally and locally. Once civil rights and religious groups mobilized the conscience of America against racial evil, changes came at least. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were both drafted in the conference room of the RAC's building in Washington, D.C., under the aegis of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (which for decades was housed in the Center).

• The Gospels hold the Jews accountable for Jesus’ death

• Sermons, liturgy, scriptural readings compound that culpability

• The Second Vatican Council has reduced and even somewhat eliminated negative presentations of the Jewish people in educational materials

• But still the problem of understanding how the Gospels impacted the sweep of earlier Jewish history

New Testament texts have been a source of anxiety for Jews over the centuries

Many bristle, flinch, or even cringe upon hearing the name of Jesus

Many view the New Testament with varying degrees of dismay and distrust, if not dread

Many expect Christians to look with disapproval upon the Jews as a whole even in contemporary times.

“The entire world is a narrow bridge; the essential thing is not to be afraid”
