The Pope visited Park East Synagogue today in a lovely ceremony I watched on Fox News.
"Shalom!," the Pope said. "It is with joy that I come here." "In our lifetime we have experienced the ravages of war, the Holocaust, man's inhumanity to man and tasted the joy of freedom," Rabbi Schneier said to the Pope. "This momentous occasion takes place on American soil, where men and women, escaping the clutches of oppression and religious persecution, have built a nation of democracy and freedom," he added.
