Speakers Rabbi Denise Eger, President of the Board of Rabbis of Southern California, and Msrg. Royale Vadikan.

On November 11^th, the 33^rd Catholic-Jewish Women’s Conference was held at the Cathedral of our Lady of the Angels. Following greetings from Msrg. Royale Vadikan, who conceived the original event with Rabbi Alfred Wolf (of blessed memory), and Rabbi Denise Eger, President of the Board of Rabbis of Southern California, the audience of almost 150 women were treated to a program of wonderful, energetic music offered by Chazzan Mike Stein of Temple Aliyah and Cantor John Balducci of St. Bernardine of Siena Church. 
Keynote speakers Dvora E. Weisberg, Ph.D., and Laurie Wright-Garry, Ph.D., addressed “Scripture and Tradition: Battleground or Common Ground”, in a scholarly and humorous way. They also entertained thoughtful questions from the audience.   The afternoon’s dialogue groups were warm, thoughtful and deeply personal. The day’s traditional closing friendship circle provided closure to a very spiritual and warm event.
