Eugenio Zolli: Prophet for a New World
“The life of Eugenio Zolli, chief rabbi of Rome during the Second World War, is in itself a prophesy for a new world. After years of research that led to the publication of the French edition, I am happy to present this book to an American public. From his studies in the Old Testament to the New, Zolli’s experience illustrates our common goal for unity between Christians and Jews.” – Judith Cabaud, author
Eugenio Zolli: Prophet for a New World
by Judith Cabaud
Eugenio Zolli, Chief Rabbi of Trieste, then of Rome, during the Second World War, exegete and professor at the University of Padua, is a prophet for our time, charged with asking a single question: Why? This question was a grace from God that set him off on his course as a scholar and a mystic. A subject of controversy since his death in 1956, Zolli nevertheless remains a model of true ecumenism between Jews and Christians through his honesty and his search for the whole truth. In trying to explore the missing link between the Old and New Testament, he discovered the love of God for all humanity. In this way, his life experience led him to Jesus Christ, in itself a prophecy of the New World mentioned in the Holy Scripture.

TESTIMONIALS
“Mme. Judith Cabaud, herself a Jew who has entered the Catholic Church, has performed a valuable service in writing this thoughtful biography of Eugenio Zolli, a figure of great personal stature and historical significance who has too generally been either forgotten or calumniated. He himself beautifully documented his personal journey from Chief Rabbi of Rome to Catholic convert in his autobiography “Before the Dawn” which is, thankfully, again in print. Mme. Cabaud’s biography valuably supplements that account in two complimentary ways. As a work of history, it illumines the broader context of his life and conversion, providing many further details on his life before, during, and after his conversion, and particularly on his relationship with Pope Pius XII and the much maligned Pontiff’s activities with regard to the Jews during that tragic period. But it is also an extended spiritual meditation, continually reflecting on the deep inner continuity between God’s pre-Messianic (Judaism) and post-Messianic (Catholicism) self-revelations which was the leitmotiv of Rabbi Zolli’s life. Rabbi Eugenio Zolli, pray for us!” – Roy Schoeman, author of Salvation is from the Jews
“One of the most interesting characters in the Church of the 20th century was Eugenio Zolli, the chief rabbi of Rome who converted under the influence of Pope Pius the XII. Judith Cabaud’s wonderful book tells us this story in such an engaging way that even readers who are not experts in theology or history can learn essential principles concerning why the Church is the fulfillment of Judaism. It is a book that can be given to Jewish believers attracted to Jesus.” – Dr. Ronda Chervin, Emerita Professor of Philosophy of Holy Apostles College and Seminary, author of numerous books about Catholic spirituality, and presenter on Catholic radio and TV.)

Judith Cabaud is an American-born French writer and musicologist. She comes from a Jewish family of Polish and Russian heritage. After studying science at New York University, she went to Paris and obtained her degree in French civilization in 1960 at the Sorbonne, and converted to Catholicism. A musicologist and a professor of English, she is the author of several books on relations between Judaism and Christianity, the role of Pius XII during World War II, and the Grand Rabbi of Rome, Eugenio Zolli.

Mary Kloska is from Elkhart, Indiana. She was raised in a huge Polish family (12 brothers and sisters) along with a lot of foster babies and other needy people in and out of the house. She presently has 70+ nieces and nephews. She has lived a very unique life. Upon graduating from Notre Dame in 1999 she spent almost 20 years in the missions serving the poor (including orphanages) as well as praying as a consecrated hermit all over the world –Siberia, Nigeria, Tanzania, South Africa, Philippines, Mexico, the Holy Land and all over Europe as well. Although she spent a lot of time away in silence praying, ironically she loves children and is very fun and outgoing when it comes to serving young adults, as well as the little ones. She also spent her time in the missions giving retreats, doing simple catechesis, leading prayer groups, giving spiritual direction, helping in deliverance, changing diapers, feeding babies and cleaning floors. After spending intense time serving in a mission she would withdraw for periods of ‘retreat’ as a hermit (including three years as an official diocesan hermit with vows under a Bishop.) The last few years she has spent as a fulltime nanny to infant triplets, twins and several large families. She speaks many languages (poorly) and enjoys playing guitar, painting icons, baking, gardening, reading, writing and simply filling in where there is the greatest need in the Church.
