The Rabbis addressed the issue you raise:


6.Our partnership in no way minimizes the ongoing differences between the two communities and two religions. We believe that G-d employs many messengers to reveal His truth, while we affirm the fundamental ethical obligations that all people have before G-d that Judaism has always taught through the universal Noahide covenant.

7.In imitating G-d, Jews and Christians must offer models of service, unconditional love and holiness. We are all created in G-d's Holy Image, and Jews and Christians will remain dedicated to the Covenant by playing an active role together in redeeming the world.

No doubt there will be those on both sides, along with HaSatan, working to maintain the divide. End the end, they lose.

If anything, Satan loves this kind of ecumenical stuff. The scripture warns against welcoming heretics, or joining hands with unbelievers. There is no role that Jews and Christians play together to "redeem the world." Outside of Christ, there is no redemption!

Riskin is taking a position directly contradictory to both Rabbi Moshe Feinstein (Jewish law authority for non-chasidic charedi Jewry) and by Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik (Jewish law authority for Modern Orthodox). There aren’t going to be any practical changes from the Jewish side.

1 John 2:23

Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father. He that confesseth the Son, hath the Father also.

***working to maintain the divide***

The divide is that one must confess that Christ is the Son of God, the Messiah. If you deny the Son, you do not have the Father. As Christians we cannot continue to try and find an end run around this for the Jewish people. They must confess Christ. This states they do not want to be proselytized. As a Catholic, I don’t understand how they can agree not to share the Gospel, especially with the Jewish people, when Christ specifically said to preach the Gospel to all! If we truly love the Jewish people, then we must share the greatest News the world has ever known!!
