Welcome!
This page explores the relationships between Orthodox Christianity and Judaism through the centuries and today. The resources featured here aim to address Anti-Semitism through a variety of interviews, readings, and videos, as well as an original miniseries of panel conversations moderated by Archdeacon John Chryssavgis.
We are delighted to offer this material to parishes and people of good will in the hope of bridge-building and peace-making within the religious and wider community.

Fr. Cyrille, a fervent Christian who believed it was his duty to help the persecuted, transported Jews from Marseilles to villages with institutions and individuals willing to “adopt” them.
During WWII, Metropolitan Chrysostomos protected the 275 Jews living on the island of Zakynthos from German forces.
Fr. Dimitri, along with Mother Maria, objected vehemently to the anti-Jewish measures in France during WWII, and opened the doors of the Lourmel center to the victims of persecution.
Mother Maria did wonders in finding long-term hiding places for the persecuted Jews whom she had sheltered in the Lourmel center.
