There is obviously some space for reconciliation between the religions, more than you may think. After all, Jesus was repeatedly referred to as a Jewish rabbi by his disciples in the New Testament. He was born a Jew on Bethlehem and was crucified in Golgotha, supposedly. His last supper with the disciples was a Passover Seder.

Oh, absolutely! Our religions have much in common - you’re preachin’ to the choir there. As I said, I was raised Presbyterian, not Baptist, Pentecostal, etc. I have cousins who are Episcopalian and Catholic, and my best sailing friends are Jews who live in Chicago.
The heritage and traditions of your religion are rich indeed, and from whence my religion came. I support Israel and don’t back down on that when in “discussions” with the opposition.
BTW, you seem like a real mensch :-)
