According to Rabbi David Rosen, international director of interreligious affairs for the American Jewish Committee, "We have a long history of cooperation and dialogue between Jews and Christians in Israel, and we believe that this cooperation is essential for building trust and understanding between our communities." Rosen noted that despite the tensions between the Vatican and Israel's government, many Jews and Christians in Israel are committed to working together to promote peace and understanding.

One example of this cooperation is a shared holiday celebration held in Jerusalem, where Jews and Christians came together to mark the Christian holiday of Epiphany and the Jewish holiday of Tu B'Shevat. The event was organized by the Jerusalem Interfaith Encounter Association, a non-profit organization that aims to promote dialogue and understanding between Jews, Christians, and Muslims in Israel.

Rabbi Rosen attended the event and said, "It was a wonderful opportunity for Jews and Christians to come together and celebrate our shared values of peace, justice, and compassion. We believe that by working together, we can build a more just and peaceful society for all Israelis, regardless of their faith."

The tensions between the Vatican and Israel's government over the Gaza war have been a significant challenge for Jews and Christians in Israel who are seeking to build trust between their communities. However, many individuals are committed to working together to promote peace and understanding, and events like the shared holiday celebration are an important step in this process.

As the situation in Israel continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how the efforts of individuals like Rabbi Rosen and the Jerusalem Interfaith Encounter Association will impact the relationship between Jews and Christians in the country. However, one thing is clear: there are many individuals in Israel who are committed to building trust and understanding between their communities, and who believe that this cooperation is essential for promoting peace and justice in the region.

In related news, the Vatican and Israel's government have announced plans to establish a joint commission to promote dialogue and cooperation between the two faiths. The commission will be headed by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's secretary of state, and will include representatives from the Israeli government and the Vatican. The commission's goal is to promote greater understanding and cooperation between Jews and Christians in Israel, and to address the tensions that have arisen between the Vatican and Israel's government over the Gaza war.
