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.
