Letter to the editor: Acknowledging Jewish holidays

Tribune-Review | Saturday, July 3, 2021 9:00 a.m.

Dear Catholic bishops: Jesus was Jewish, as are his chosen people. Could we honor Jesus more by acknowledging the Jewish holy days throughout the year? On Sundays at Mass, could we announce approaching Jewish holy days?

The Jewish feasts derive from the Old Testament and ours from the New Testament. Yet our religious foundation is the Old Testament.

Pope John XXIII, during his reign, asked God to forgive our blindness to the beauty of his chosen people.
