Pope John XXIII has sent his “warm feelings for the Jewish people everywhere” through a Canadian rabbi whom he gave an audience at the Vatican several days ago. The rabbi, Dr. Abraham Feinberg, of Toronto, conveyed the Pope’s message today to the people of Israel, upon his arrival here from Rome.
Rabbi Feinberg said that, from his visit to the Pope, he gained the impression that Israel today has a better opportunity than at any time since the State was born to develop cordial relations with the Vatican. The Canadian rabbi told newsmen here that the Pope stressed his interest in promoting good relations between Catholics and Jews.
