SESSION INFO
SUNDAY 1.30-2.30pm
Educating for Pluralism in Israel today
In this session I will share some thoughts and best practices in education which encourage learners to engage with questions of diverse Jewish identities. This is based on the work we do at TALI with schools and educators to bridge the gaps which undermine the foundations of Israel as a Jewish and democratic society.
SUNDAY 4-5pm
Without "red lines" - a safe space for conversation about Israel where no questions or issues are off the table - with Alex Sinclair
In this session we will encourage and facilitate open conversations about Israel. Using a pedagogy that enables questioners to remain anonymous, we'll open up the floor for whatever you want, whether it's clarifying historical questions you were too embarrassed to ask, or raising challenging perspectives you were too afraid to voice. Whether you want to talk about politics, history, sociology, culture, war, peace, Zionism, or just where to buy the best falafel, this is the place where everything is on the table.
