Disagreements have the power to generate new ideas and also have the potential to destroy communities. Today, arguments feel destructive: in this time of intense polarization, we are encouraged to choose a side and even dehumanize those who disagree with us. How might we shift our dialogues so that we build rather than destroy? In this workshop, we will draw on Jewish wisdom in order to identify when dialogue is constructive or destructive, practice de-escalating conversations, and envision a future of pluralism and generative debate.
