Having
been raised in a Conservative Jewish home in suburban Toronto, I was a
regular attendee at synagogue on Sabbaths and High Holidays. My father is a Holocaust survivor from Poland and my mother’s
family escaped the pogroms in Russia. Both settled here in Canada
and raised my sister and myself in a Jewish and Yiddish speaking
environment where all of our friends were Jewish and Israel was our raison d’être.
Christianity was the religion of the outsiders, the faith of
anti-semites and Jew-haters, the creed of the Crusaders, Inquisitors,
Persecutors, and Nazis. Yet my mother would remind me continually that “Jesus was a Jew”...

Aaron Jean-Marie Lustiger, cardinal and archbishop, died on August 5th, 2007, aged 80. At the funeral of Jean-Marie Lustiger, at Notre Dame de Paris on
August 10th, his second cousin Jonas Moses-Lustiger read a psalm in
Hebrew and placed on the coffin a jar of earth that had been gathered
on the Mount of Olives. Then another cousin, Arno Lustiger, bent over
the coffin to recite Kaddish. Only when those things were done was the
body of Cardinal Lustiger carried inside the cathedral, where Catholic
panoply took over.

This is the
story of my return to the Catholic Church.
I will attempt to explain how my walk with the Lord these past years has
led me to this important and difficult decision, yet one that I make in peace
and enthusiasm. It is addressed to my
Evangelical Christian and Messianic Jewish friends in Israel, and
particularly to those who do not believe that one can be a "true believer" and
a Catholic at the same time. It is also
written as a personal testimony for the many good and faithful friends I have
made over the years around the world who may be interested in my walk of
faith. To them I dedicate this essay and
pray that it will help us to grow in unity in loving and worshipping the King
of Kings.
