    2: Competing Commitments
    2024/10/11
    In this second episode, we discuss a term we learned at summer camp that helps us understand what social and cultural psychologists Jonathan Haidt and Jesse Graham refer to as "Moral Foundations." In other words, what do we value, and how does the value someone is prioritizing impact their perspective? We focus especially on Israel's competing commitments between being a democracy and being a safe haven for the Jewish people._____Transcript here.NotesThe Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies Mahloket Matters Methodology (as well as Teen Curriculum and Adult Fellowship)Peter Beinart, namely: "Yavne: A Jewish Case for Equality in Israel-Palestine" and The Crisis of ZionismHistory of Jews in Israel and North Africa, link shared by Mariana PardesHow White Christian Influence is Reshaping Israel, link shared by Mariana PardesMoral Foundations Theory by Jonathan Haidt & Jesse GrahamElephant/Rider concept from Jonathan Haidt, author of The Righteous MindExtend Tours - Rory Michelle highly recommends!Perspectives Israel - No longer running, but Facebook group provides insights"Resilient listening" credited to EncounterNashira notes that maps of Israel she saw growing up did not distinguish between Israel and Occupied Territories.

    3: A People for a Land or a Land for a People?
    2024/10/11
    In this third episode, based on a learning session from Pardes' Makhloket Matters Fellowship, we focus in on two Jewish perspectives on our relationship to the land of Israel-Palestine. Is the land an essential part of who we are as Jews? Or is it simply functional, and we could be happy anywhere we're safe and can study Torah? Turns out (spoiler alert!), both of these perspectives are embodied in our textual tradition and lived experience - and have been for a long time._____Transcript here.NotesThe Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies Mahloket Matters MethodologyShaye J.

    4: Following Meaning
    2024/10/11
    In this fourth and final episode, we share a few specific tools from Pardes's Makhloket Matters Fellowship, taught to us by Rachel Dingman, facilitator for Resetting the Table and Senior Director of Jewish Enrichment at BBYO. Using signposts and following meaning questions, we have a different conversation about where we disagree than we would have had without the Makhloket Matters methodology - and we hope that you can apply these tools and skills to have more resilient, compassionate conversations in the midst of conflict as well.Content warning: Specific acts of violence are named between 35:30-35:52 and 37:06-37:30._____Transcript here.NotesThe Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies Mahloket Matters MethodologyResetting the Table"Resilient listening" credited to EncounterDo We Need to Read the News? | On Switching Off the NewsThe Noahide LawsThe “pregnant pause” referenced at 43:38 was 26 seconds long before editing.So You Want To Talk About Race - Ijeoma OluoPeter Beinart suggests that once people have freedoms, they will be happy to be free and go about their lives.Other voices to listen to: Shaul Magid: The Necessity of ExileRashid KhalidiBassam Abun-Nadi: PreOccupation: A Not-So-Brief History of PalestineAmira Mohammed and Ibrahim Abu Ahmad: Unapologetic: The Third NarrativeLayla F.
