Abstract

Sophie/Francisca van Leer (1892-1953) was born in a Jewish family but converted at the age of 27 to Catholicism. As a Catholic she promoted understanding of Judaism and in 1948 she started a journal (The Voice of Israel). In this first cooperation between Jews and Christians in the Netherlands, Francisca van Leer met Jacob Soetendorp (1914-1976), who worked for a Jewish newspaper and later became a prominent liberal rabbi. This essay discusses an hitherto unknown exchange of letters between them, as a valuable testimony to the very first steps in Jewish-Christian dialogue.
