Pope responds to Israeli criticism over comments on Jewish law – Pontiff tries to set the record straight after rabbis protest comment which appears to suggest the Torah was obsolete; Jewish sources say they saw the Vatican letter as a sign of reconciliation | ynetnews

Pope Francis has moved to allay Jewish concerns over comments he made about their books of sacred law, following a demand for clarification from Israel’s top rabbis, Vatican and Jewish community sources said on Monday.
Last month, Reuters reported exclusively that Rabbi Rasson Arousi, chair of the Commission of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel for Dialogue with the Holy See, had written a stern letter to the Vatican, saying Francis‘ comments appeared to suggest that the Torah, or Jewish law, was obsolete.
