Pope Benedict XVI will visit a Park East Synagogue near the United Nations when he travels to the United States this month. That's one day before the start of the Jewish holiday of Passover.

Separately, Benedict will meet with Jewish leaders and representatives of other faiths in Washington on April 17th. He will also meet with leaders of other Christian groups.

Benedict is traveling to the two cities from April 15 through April 20. It will be his first visit as pope to the United States. On his first trip abroad as pontiff in 2005, Benedict visited a synagogue in Cologne, Germany.
