Father Lemanski Visits Warsaw Synagogue, Beit Warszawa

The long scheduled visit by Fr. Lemanski to Warsaw’s Beit Warszawa, the flagship congregation of the Progressive Polish Jewish movement took place this Saturday evening, May 10 at 7 pm. The historic visit of Fr. Lemanski is an expression of this priest’s unique stance of active friendship toward Jews. Fr Lemanski spoke on the topic of his experience of the practice of Jewish-Catholic relations. Father Lemanski shared the Seudah Shelisheet meal (third meal of the Sabbath) with over 50 participants; attended a lesson in Pirke Avot taught by Beit Warszawa’s Rabbi Gil Nativ and then answered questions and engaged in discussion for over two hours.
