Synopsis
A little over half a century ago, there came about a remarkable change in the Catholic Church’s attitude to the Jewish people. Once an accursed nation, responsible for the death of the Redeemer, Jews became the blessed elder brother of Christianity. Nostra Aetate traces the process of this revolutionary change in detail, through its primary Catholic and Jewish sources.

Among his major works is a well-known, eight-volume series, Minhagei Yisrael, on the history of Jewish customs. More recently, he has written books on halachic methodology and rabbinic decision-making in confrontation with modernity and has established an independent beit din dealing with agunah issues. He is the author of On Changes in Jewish Liturgy: Options and Limitations; On the Relationship of Mitzvot Between Man and His Neighbor and Man and His Maker; The Importance of the Community Rabbi: Leading with Compassionate Halachah; Rabba, Maharat, Rabbanit, Rebbetzin: Women with Leadership Authority According to Halachah, and Vegetarianism, Ecology, and Business Ethics: Three Essays of Judaic Insights into Contemporary Concerns, all published by Urim Publications.
