Abstract

COLOMBO, Maria Alzira da Cruz. The relationship of the congregation of Notre Dame of Sion with its charisma: from the theological anti-Semitism to a relationship of esteem and respect to the Jews. Rev. Bras. Hist. Educ [online]. 2015, vol.15, n.3, pp.141-166. ISSN 2238-0094.  https://doi.org/10.4025/rbhe.v15i3.599.

Théodore Ratisbonne, the Jew who founded the congregation of Our Lady of Sion, and his brother Alphonse, worked with the conversion drive in Alsacia, in the XIXth century The charisma covers three periods: a) the fathers adopt a conversional approach up to 1925, the sisters, up to 1961; b) Since 1946, the mission regarding Israel is about esteem and reconciliation; c) From the Second Vatican Council on, sisters' congregations start to search for mutual knowledge and dialogue. The priests only acknowledge the theological and apostolic implications of the esteem attitude to the jewish-christian relationship in 1970.

Keywords : Our Lady of Sion; Priests; Sisters; Charisma; Jewish-Christian Relationship.
