4: Following Meaning

In this fourth and final episode, we share a few specific tools from Pardes's Makhloket Matters Fellowship, taught to us by Rachel Dingman, facilitator for Resetting the Table and Senior Director of Jewish Enrichment at BBYO. Using signposts and following meaning questions, we have a different conversation about where we disagree than we would have had without the Makhloket Matters methodology - and we hope that you can apply these tools and skills to have more resilient, compassionate conversations in the midst of conflict as well.Content warning: Specific acts of violence are named between 35:30-35:52 and 37:06-37:30._____Transcript here.NotesThe Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies Mahloket Matters MethodologyResetting the Table"Resilient listening" credited to EncounterDo We Need to Read the News? | On Switching Off the NewsThe Noahide LawsThe “pregnant pause” referenced at 43:38 was 26 seconds long before editing.So You Want To Talk About Race - Ijeoma OluoPeter Beinart suggests that once people have freedoms, they will be happy to be free and go about their lives.Other voices to listen to: Shaul Magid: The Necessity of ExileRashid KhalidiBassam Abun-Nadi: PreOccupation: A Not-So-Brief History of PalestineAmira Mohammed and Ibrahim Abu Ahmad: Unapologetic: The Third NarrativeLayla F.
