Nostra Aetate and Rome’s Jewish Community

Listen in as Avraham Burg sits down with Rabbi Riccardo Di Segni – the chief rabbi of Rome – to explore the ancient, continuous presence of the Jewish community in Rome, the transformative impact of Nostra Aetate on Jewish–Catholic relations, and the ongoing complexities of interreligious dialogue in a world shaped by both historical wounds and modern challenges. Together they examine the shifting power dynamics between Judaism and Christianity, the risks and value of religious “osmosis,” and the tension between preserving identity and embracing fluidity. Ultimately, Rabbi Di Segni emphasizes the importance of mutual respect, historical continuity, and the shared human hope that transcends rigid doctrine or past divisions.
