As tensions and conflicts between Israelis and Palestinians affect communities worldwide, we believe that fostering respectful conversations in our own North American communities is a vital step towards promoting greater understanding, empathy, trust, and peace. Through our Talk for a Change curriculum of conversation cards, facilitation guides for congregations and communities, and supplemental resources, we encouraged dialogues across lines of difference. Our curriculum equipped people with a model for engaging in respectful conversations with friends, family, and their communities about complex topics.
