Join Rabbi Jeremy Parnes and Archbishop Don Bolen in dialogue on reconciling with God and neighbour.
How do Jews and Christians understand God’s forgiveness and reconciliation? What must one do to make amends? What does a Christian understanding of confession, contrition, and penance require for an apology to Indigenous Peoples and our path of reconciliation? Following the papal apology to Indigenous Peoples in 2022, what must we do going forwards?

This evening of dialogue on Wednesday, September 20 falls within the Ten Days of Awe or Repentance, beginning with Rosh Hashanah (New Year’s Day 5784) on Sept. 16-17 which commemorates the Creation of the World, and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) on Sept. 25. Yom Kippur is the holiest day and a day of fasting. To re-establish oneness with God and fellow human beings, Jewish people ask for forgiveness from, and grant forgiveness to, each other. They then confess their shortcomings, promise to do better in the year ahead, and seek forgiveness from God.
