Communicating Across Divides
Part of the series, Zionism: Today, Tomorrow, and Beyond—Expanding the Conversation
With Rabbi Jan Uhrbach, Director of the Block / Kolker Center for Spiritual Arts, JTS
Argument is essential to Jewish life—it forms the basis of the Talmud and the classic Jewish joke about two Jews, three opinions. Yet today the challenge of talking across differences often seems insurmountable.
Rabbi Jan Uhrbach, director of the Block Kolker Center for Spiritual Life, shares insight into how to communicate with those whose opinion differs from yours. She will include tactics for creating structures that enable civility and explore the traps to avoid in your community.
