<h3><em>An independent podcast with Rory Michelle Sullivan and Nashira Pearl</em></h3><h3><em>using the Mahloket Matters methodology from The Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies</em></h3><br></p>In this four episode podcast, Rory Michelle and Nashira - two committed, passionate American Jews who care deeply about Judaism and productive dialogue - share our learning and unlearning about the Israel-Palestine conflict from a place of humanizing everyone implicated. We explore the perspectives we’ve encountered through organized trips to the area, our own reading, and how that plus our own upbringing has influenced our understanding of the issues. Our goal is to share what we’ve learned, including how to have constructive, generative disagreement with others, using the Mahloket Matters methodology from The Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies which combines Jewish wisdom and social psychology to generate discussion, critical thinking, personal growth, and the deepening of relationships. Listen if you’ve ever wondered: “How could they possibly think that?!”, sometimes feel that there is no hope for talking with people who think differently, or if you are afraid to talk or even ask about these issues and don’t know where to start. Our intention is to expand the conversation on the Israel-Palestine conflict from two sides to all sides while giving you hope and tools to talk about it productively in your own life.</p><br><strong>Transcript of all episodes </strong><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MUnyLP0JYBouUbdVPLo--3vSaJgf9dc_/view?usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p><br><strong>Credits:</strong></p>Thanks to:</p><ul><li>The Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies, Zvi Hirschfield & Monica Kleinman, and our Mahloket Matters Fellowship Winter 2024/5784 cohort</li><li>Chaim Landau and Sam Sussman for creating and running incredible programs to engage in deep conversation and resilient listening with those directly affected by the Israel-Palestine conflict</li><li>Nashira for being an incredible friend as well as partner in this podcast journey.

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.

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.

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.
