Comunidade judaica do Recife : possibilidades e entraves ao diálogo intra-religioso entre judeus asquenazes, sefarades e messiânicos : o que os distancia o que os une

Abstract

This work analyses the possibilities and the obstructions to the religious dialogue within the Jewish community in Recife, Pernambuco, formed by Asquenaze, Sefarade and Messianic Jews. It searches also to highlight what unites them and what divides them, taking the Jewish Theocracy and the complexity of transdisciplinarity as hermeneutic keys. One can see that there is undeniable tension among these groups: they distinguish (and exclude) themselves from one another based on some sacred specific topics. At the same time, they are linked to one another by the fundamental principle of the Jewish Theocracy, i.e. the Jewish axiom of monotheism, the faith in one single God who runs everything. The historical-critical analysis of each group will help to understand their characteristics and the reasons of their differences, hoping to find out the real probabilities for an inter-religious dialogue among them
