How to Argue -the Jewish way with Rabbi Polisson
Thursday, Dec 8th 7:30p to 9:00p
How to argue - the Jewish way with Rabbi Polisson November 17, December 8, December 15 7:30 - 9:00pm on Zoom We live in a moment of unprecedented breakdown in civil discourse. Our Jewish tradition upholds the principle that constructive disagreement is the holy work needed to repair what can feel like irreconcilable differences that permeate our Jewish communities. Jewish texts and their diverse interpretations can empower us to engage more constructively with those with whom we may disagree. Hear what Judaism says about our current controversies: abortion, trans rights, immigration, gun control, refugees and more. Put your new conversation skills to use at Thanksgiving and future family gatherings. This class is based on the Pardes North America Mahloket Matters Fellowship.
