JPII Epitaph

"Somehow, [JPII] always found time in his impossible schedule to meet Jewish leaders and rabbis whether it was Israel’s Chief Rabbi Lau in 1993 or a group of American Jews just a few weeks ago. I had the privilege of meeting with him in New York in October 1995 in an intimate gathering at the residence of the late Cardinal John O’Connor. It was an unforgettably poignant moment." (Director of The National Council of Synagogues, Rabbi Gilbert S. Rosenthal, "Pope John Paul II, Jewish Perspectives")
