The goal of this two-session workshop is to learn respectful, open and honest communication and listening skills on a charged issue – Israel and Palestine.

Resetting the Table will facilitate this two-session workshop.  Participants will share personal connections to Israel, exchange views and practice communication skills for addressing differences constructively. The workshop builds community capacity to explore disagreements while strengthening relationships, trust, learning, and collaboration.

Resetting the Table will bring an experienced facilitator -- Michele Freed -- to lead us in this skill building exercise. You can see her background here.  Resetting the Table has extensive experience organizing and facilitating these workshops. More information about their work can be found here. 
 
This workshop is partially supported by a grant from Combined Jewish Philanthropies.
