		The signers of Dabru Emet declared: "Nazism was not a Christian phenomenon.
		I did not sign Dabru Emet because of another problematic sentence dealing with the Holocaust: "If the Nazi extermination of the Jews had been fully successful, it would have turned its murderous rage more directly to Christians." I believe this is an inaccurate and dubious assertion.

	Dabru Emet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dabru Emet sparked a controversy in segments of the Jewish community.

		On 12 September 2000 another document, Dabru Emet (Speak truth), was published – this time consisting of a Jewish reassessment of Christians and Christianity.
		Dabru Emet is the most positive affirmation of Christianity ever made by a committed Jewish group.
		One of the main achievements of Dabru Emet is that it puts into practice the foundational principle of dialogue, involving a respect that takes the other as seriously as one demands to be taken oneself.

		"Dabru Emet," literally "speak the truth," is a quote from Zechariah 8:16, in which the prophet informs Israel how to interact with other nations.
		Dabru Emet is the first document of its kind, but its publication and the subsequent debate surrounding it have highlighted a number of long-established components in the interfaith conversation within the Jewish community.
		Dabru Emet strove to present the common ground on which a conversation could begin.

		The common theme among these authors is that the wording of Daberu Emet may have the effect of diminishing the Christian sense of responsibility for the Shoa.
		In the efforts to write Daberu Emet and edit Christianity in Jewish Terms, the authors recognize that they were part of a rather small group of Jews who had participated in the dialogue with Christians.
		It was their desire to broaden the boundaries of the discussion that moved them out of their university offices and into the area of public statements.

		Dabru Emet: A Jewish Statement on Christians and Christianity, issued by the (Baltimore) Institute for Jewish and Christian Studies, and the National Jewish Scholars Project.
		The importance of Dabru Emet is increased still further when one considers that there is a major imbalance between the number of writings that consider Christian views of Judaism and those that consider Jewish views of Christianity.
		One the main achievements of Dabru Emet is that it puts into practice what I would describe as the foundational principle of dialogue: Dialogue involves a respect that takes the other as seriously as one demands to be taken oneself.

	:: SIDIC - Rivista SIDIC ::
		The statement entitled Dabru Emet (Hebrew for “Speak the Truth”) was very carefully drafted and signed by four scholars associated with the Institute for Christian and Jewish Studies in Baltimore.1 It was co-signed by more than 175 other Jewish intellectuals, Edward Kessler among them.
		While it is still too early to assess its long-term significance, Dabru Emet certainly is a courageous and nuanced expression of an openness to dialogue that can be accepted by Jews across all the major denominations, even though the authors speak only for themselves.
		If Dabru Emet represents an opening, the August 6, 2000 declaration Dominus Iesus by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith seems to point in the opposite direction — the direction of closure.

	Dabru Emet: Its Significance for the Jewish-Christian Dialogue, by Rabbi David Rosen
		Though I myself was a signatory to Dabru Emet (one of the few non-Americans), I did not consider the text to be unusually far-reaching.
		In effect Dabru Emet represents a Jewish willingness not to forget, but to put behind us the unique tragic past that bedevilled the Jewish-Christian relationship and to look forward to a unique fraternal theological interaction in the future.
		Perhaps the most far reaching call of Dabru Emet is for Jews "to respect Christians’ faithfulness to their revelation" (which incidentally is an almost verbatim quote of Martin Buber’s words in his article "The Two Foci of the Jewish Soul" published in 1948).

		By the time the resulting statement, Dabru Emet ("To Speak the Truth"), was published simultaneously in Baltimore and New York, some 170 leading Jewish figures, both academic and religious, had signed on.
		Dabru Emet will surely and quite rightly be the first item on the agenda of many a dialogue in the years ahead.

		Levenson begins his article with the admission that interfaith dialogue is “one of the most remarkable cultural developments of the past half—century.” Toward the end of the article, however, he asserts, “One need hardly be an advocate of interfaith hostility to observe [that] the two communities.

		And even those Jews who have ignored "Dabru Emet" will have it thrown up to them whenever they have to engage in serious relations with Christians.
		What "Dabru Emet" has done is to encourage, and even force, Jews who are engaged in any kind of relations with the non-Jewish world, a significant part of which is Christian, to speak theologically.

	An American Baptist Response to Dabru Emet (June 2002) - Sacred Heart University
		The authors of Dabru Emet affirm that there has been a dramatic change among Christian churches, leading to widespread repentance for Christian mistreatment of Jews and Judaism and to acknowledgement of God's enduring covenant with the Jewish people.
		With the authors of Dabru Emet, we wish to believe that a new day of broader conversation and mutual religious appreciation has begun.
		In this light, we particularly appreciate Dabru Emet's frank acceptance of enduring religious differences between Judaism and Christianity and its conviction that we can live fruitfully and peacefully with these differences, while each faith maintains the integrity of its own witness.
