Summer Beit Midrash - How to Bridge the Divide with Rabbi Cheryl Stone
Tuesday, Jul 30th 7:30p to 9:00pIn Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor, Yossi Klein Halevi reaches across the seemingly infinite gulf between two peoples, writing as an Israeli to an imagined Palestinian neighbor. Halevi also invites those neighbors and others to respond. Right now, we are in such a time of immense pain and a universe of complex emotion. Halevi’s book can serve as a model for us to process some of what we are experiencing and desire to express. Come explore excerpts of his letters as well the responses and look at how to craft either our own letter to our neighbor, real or imagined or our response to Halevi’s attempt to bridge the divide.
