Jewish and Christian groups at impasse over U.S. aid to Israel
An established interfaith group is in danger of disintegrating as major American Jewish groups and prominent mainline Protestant churches differ over U.S. aid for Israel—a long-standing argument that the group was established, in part, to diffuse.
Leaders of Reform and Conservative Judaism, the American Jewish Committee and other Jewish groups sent a letter October 17 to their Christian counterparts on the Christian-Jewish Roundtable saying they would not be attending a long-planned October 22–23 meeting.
