Joseph Emmanuel z”l
After a long illness, Joseph Emmanuel passed away on Sunday, May 24, 2013, and was buried at Newe Shalom.
Joseph Emmanuel, one of the pioneering activists in interfaith dialogue in Israel, passed away after a long illness. He had been a close friend of many of the pioneers of our Hebrew speaking Catholic communities in Israel, like Father Bruno Hussar, with whom he can be seen in the photograph.
Joseph was born in 1933 in Poland and arrived in Palestine in 1936 with his parents.
Joseph directed the Israel Interfaith Association for many years and was a tireless worker for understanding, reconciliation, justice and peace. May his memory be a source of blessing.
