Review Quotes:
"In this engaging volume, Polyakov delves into the religious identity of a small group of Roman Catholics, some converts from Judaism, who, while living in the State of Israel, attempt to integrate their own identities, the impact of the Shoah, and the teachings of a post-conciliar Church. The varied responses to these influences are fascinating in their own right and raise important questions for our understanding of Jewish-Christian relations today."
--Rabbi David Fox Sandmel, Director of Interreligious Engagement, Anti-Defamation League (ADL)
