Let’s Hear About It: Community Listening Session: Israel

The Circle relies on deep listening. In the words of Roots founders Rabbi Hanan Schlesinger and Ali Abu Awwad: “Listen until it hurts. And then listen more.” What does this mean? Listen for information that challenges your own assumptions. Listen with your wide-open heart, putting yourself in the shoes of the other. Listen from the future and from the whole. What’s wanting to come through this circle of ours? How are we a small vessel of the highest potential future for Israelis/Palestinians?

If any of that sounds like the kind of space you are committed to building within our community, please join us on Wednesday, May 7 at 7:00pm. We are grateful that Rabbi Susan Leider will facilitate this opportunity where we will engage in Listening Circles to share and hear various perspectives. This program was originally scheduled for November but had to be postponed due to illness.

Registration for this event will open in mid-April.
