Oh really? I didn't know that this was a point of contention. The Trinity is a super confusing concept--even to me--but the end result is that we only believe in one, indivisible God (despite what the name Trinity might imply). In Catholicism, in fact, we have the Shema Prayer as part of our liturgy insisting on one God; and our prayers, though made in the name of the Trinity always conclude--one God. ...
From Wikipedia: Shituf:
Quote:Conservative Rabbi Louis Jacobs took a more conciliatory approach:
"Christian thinkers frequently assert that Jewish polemics against trinitarianism are based on an inadequate understanding of what the doctrine really means. It is no doubt true that crude attacks on Christianity as tritheism are unfounded (tritheism is, in fact, heresy from the Christian point of view) and there are subtleties in the doctrine which Christians have tried to uncover. But the fact remains that all Jewish thinkers have rejected trinitarianism as Judaism understands it."
