Tri-Faith: Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Conversations: Pain, Heartache and Courage - Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories with Rabbi Aryeh Azriel
Thursday, June 24, 2021 • 14 Tammuz 5781
12:00 PM - 1:00 PMIt’s often helpful to start practicing complex conversations with those we trust in our families and personal networks. Tri-Faith Initiative invites you to join us for this special Open Conversation, as we model how to engage in straight talk>/a> about one of the most complex topics in modern society: Israel and Palestine. From Wendy: Rabbi Azriel and I have known each other for 30+ years and have been partners every step of the way. We don’t always agree but we have deep respect for each other. Please join us as we honestly share our struggles about criticism of Israel and anti-semitism, and discuss the importance of calling out human rights issues. I invite you to have a “straight talk” conversation this week, with this intention: To make everyone involved feel valued and respected, making space for everyone to express themselves and sincerely listen to others. Ask yourself: What am I not seeing here? What else might be true? Are we open to the possibility of learning from and with one another on this complex topic? Do we have the skills, historical context, and willingness to invite a civil conversation — and potentially not end the experience with a unified statement? REGISTER NOW
