"After nearly two millennia of mutual hostility and alienation, we Orthodox Rabbis who lead communities, institutions and seminaries in Israel, the United States and Europe recognize the historic opportunity now before us.

Jews and Christians must work together as partners to address the moral challenges of our era." An Orthodox Rabbinic statement on Christianity (2015)
