Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik on Interfaith Dialogue On November 26, 1961, Soloveitchik declared his opposition to ―the presence of Jews as observers or with any formal status at the Ecumenical Council‖ 145 to rabbis of different denominations convened by the World Jewish Congress. In February 1964, Soloveitchik, speaking at the Conference of the Rabbinical Council of America, ―criticized the proposed decree as ‗evangelical propaganda,‘‖ 146 regarding Jews solely as converts in potentia. That same year, Soloveitchik gave a talk, entitled ―Confrontation,‖ in which he delineated four preconditions for Jewish-Christian engagement: 1. Acknowledgement that the Jewish people are an ―independent faith community endowed with intrinsic worth to be viewed against its own meta-historical backdrop without relating to the framework of another (i.e. Catholic) community.‖ 147 2. Recognition that the Jewish ―singular commitment to G[-]d and....hope for survival are non-negotiable and not subject to debate or argumentation.‖ 148 145 Kimelman 4 146 Kimelman 6-7 147 Kimelman 7 148 Kimelman 7 28
