Welcome!

The Catholic-Jewish Studies Program at Catholic Theological Union has been a part of CTU since the very beginning: 1968. The CJSP is designed to support scholarship in Catholic-Jewish dialogue, and promotes greater understanding of the Jewish faith. Through the quarterly Shapiro Lecture series as well as the annual Hayim Goren Perelmuter Conference and annual Holocaust Remembrance Lecture Series, the Catholic-Jewish Studies Program provides crucial context to the shared history of the Abrahamic traditions, and fosters greater cultural acceptance, particularly during this time of increased antisemitism.

Every spring, the Hayim Perelmuter Conference brings together a group of scholars to present papers on various topics related to Christian-Jewish dialogue, and to discuss and workshop these pieces together.
