Abstract

In addressing people living far away, the prophet Isaiah (56.5–7) says: ‘And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, and to be his servants, every one who keeps the Sabbath, and does not profane it, and holds fast to my covenant – these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.’

Footnotes

The article printed here represents an address given as part of the opening session of the meeting of the 55th Annual Meeting of the SNTS in Tel Aviv on 31 July 2000. The proceedings of each day of SNTS meetings are generally prefaced by a session devoted to prayer, during which an address is often given. These addresses are normally never published. However, on this occasion a number of those present expressed the view that the address has raised so many important issues that they hoped that the address could be put into the public domain; as a result, Professor Gruenwald kindly agreed to allow the address to be published here. The text of the address reproduces his original words. The prayer which appears at the end here is also Professor Gruenwald's own, composed specifically for the occasion. Ed.
