The Tough Stuff: Speaking Across Difference
Description
In a time of polarization, moral urgency, and real fear, many organizations are struggling with a core question: How do we stay rooted in our values while engaging people who see the world differently? This workshop helps leaders, educators, and teams build the skills required to sustain principled, courageous engagement across political, religious, generational, and ideological differences. Drawing on Jewish tradition, collaborations, and organizational best practices, we explore how to create spaces that are both values-aligned and genuinely pluralistic.
