Talking Across Difference: An Israel Educator Workshop
The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington is proud to bring to our community a two-part educator training with For the Sake of Argument (FSA) about engaging in disagreement about Israel, with the goal of building skills and confidence to disagree thoughtfully rather than avoiding challenging conversations.
Led by Abi Dauber Stern, cofounder of FSA, the training is for educators and shlichim (Israeli emissaries) working with high school, young adult, and adult learners.
Supervisors, directors, clergy, and lay leaders are invited to join us for the opening session to experience firsthand a typical FSA workshop and gain insight into what our local shlichim and educators will be learning.
Educators are expected to attend both dates for a deeper dive and to gain practical application tools.
This training is part of Federation’s broader Israel engagement strategy and reflects our commitment to pluralism within the Jewish community.
