| Summary / Abstract (Note) | When in May 2014, three men joined in an emotional embrace in front of the Western Wall, witnesses of the scene heard them say in Spanish: "We made it." These three people were Rabbi Abraham Skorka; Omar Abboud, the Argentinian Muslim leader; and Pope Francis, in an act that culminated his first official visit to the Holy Land. Their cry of triumph represented before the eyes of the whole world the realization of an old dream, one fuelled by the friendship of the three men in Buenos Aires, and which offers the best formula for overcoming the nightmare of religious confrontations: respect and warmth among people of good will. |
