About event
“Jewish cardinal” is a film that tells about the destiny of Archbishop Lustiger, and about a crisis that a man encounters if he always has to keep choosing between two cultures equally close to his soul. What were relations between Catholicism and Judaism like throughout the centuries? What are they like today? Which precedents there were that resembled the Lustiger case? Yuri Tabak will answer these questions for the film’s viewers.
