Writings about Joe Fisch
-1987-
November 26, 1987 -- "Bishop Maher Speaks
at Tifereth Israel," San DiegoJewish Times,
p. 2. Unity, friendship and
love, between Jews and Catholics, and forgiveness about the past was the plea
made by the Most Rev. Leo T. Maher, leader of the Catholic Diocese of San Diego,
on Oct. 28 a Tifereth Israel Synagogue. Reverend
Maher, speaking before a crowd of about 350, stressed that “mutual
collaboration in many ways attests to the fact that Jews and Catholics can and
do work together for the benefit of the human family.”
The ecounter, one of the first ever between a Catholic leader and the
Jewish community, was sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League and the San Diego
Diocese. Joseph J. Fisch, ADL chairman of the board, stressed that the meeting
is, and will be part of an ongoing process and that no one “should
realistically expect changes quickly.”…. Rabbi Aaron gold spoke similarly,
noting that both the Catholic and Jewish communities realize that discussion not
agitation is the key. “We’re
sharing because of caring,” Rabbi Gold said. “We care about continuing
dialogue and the educational process of support.”…..
