Judaic scholar Sefi Kraut, Director of Mahloket Matters at the Pardes Institute in Jerusalem, will facilitate a congregation-wide workshop tailored for our community on how to have productive and thoughtful difficult conversations with those with whom we are in the community. Drawing on Jewish texts, learnings from social psychology, and practical application, we will explore the skills, mindset, and heartscape necessary to engage with each other on challenging topics for the sake of personal growth and deepened interpersonal connections.

To that end, last year’s book groups are morphing into salon-like groups that will meet several times in the winter and spring to use these skills to discuss difficult topics, supplemented by short readings, podcast episodes, film clips, and other multimedia. Whether you are in an existing book group or want to join a group this year, please mark your calendar!

The Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies is an open, inclusive, diverse, and intellectually challenging Jewish learning community based in Jerusalem with programs worldwide.
