It`s a historical irony that Jesus, who serves as a symbol of unity between Jews and Christians, has often become a source of division and even conflict between the two religious communities. Jesus of Nazareth embodies the complex dynamic of both uniting and dividing Jews and Christians.

The encounter between Judaism and Christianity holds immense significance and challenges due to the profound differences in their interpretations of key shared aspects. Among these, none is more pivotal than their divergent understandings of Jesus of Nazareth. In essence, the crucified Christ stands as a dividing line between the church and the synagogue, accentuating the rift between Jews and Christians.
