Rabbi Elliot Cosgrove marked Yom Kippur at his New York synagogue with two symbolic gestures, commemorating pivotal moments in American Jewish history. He displayed a 1965 Los Angeles Dodgers jersey worn by Sandy Koufax, recalling the Jewish pitcher's decision to skip a World Series game for Yom Kippur, a choice that inspired American Jews to embrace their identity more openly. The event also featured Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York, who joined Cosgrove to reflect on the sixtieth anniversary of Nostra Aetate, the Catholic doctrine that transformed Jewish-Catholic relations by rejecting the notion of Jewish responsibility for the death of Jesus. Their conversation highlighted the progress made in interfaith understanding and the ongoing journey toward deeper connection and mutual respect.
