Saint James Vicariate For Hebrew Speaking Catholics in Israel
Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church
For the first time in history the faith of the Catholic Church is expressed in a concise form, in Hebrew language. It contains all the essential and fundamental elements of the Church’s faith.
This 185-page volume offers a clear synopsis of the essential contents of the Faith as promulgated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
The Compendium has a four-part structure, like the Catechism. It took us years to translate it into Hebrew.
Short and compact answers to 598 questions like:
What is the plan of God for man?
What does it mean to believe in only one God?
Where does the soul come from?
What does the word Church mean?
What is meant by the term “heaven”?
