SUMMARY:Mahloket Matters:  How to Disagree Constructively
DESCRIPTION:Mahloket Matters:  How to Disagree Constructively\nA 7-session
  class taught by Emily Simon\nBegins Sunday\, January 5th and will run ~ e
 very other week.\n10:30 - 11:45 am\, TES Conference Room and Zoom\n \n\nM
 ost people concur that civil discourse has deteriorated to an extent that 
 endangers democracy. We are unable to listen to one another\, let alone un
 derstand each other. We have progressively tuned in to the exclusive echoe
 s of our own silos.\n\nIs it possible to productively engage those with wh
 om we disagree?  Can Jewish text study empower us to engage more construc
 tively in disagreements today?\n\nJoin a 7-session class taught by Emily S
 imon to study mahloket l’shem shamayim (constructive disagreements) as a
  vital tool to generate critical thinking and personal growth. Text study 
 can be used to increase the desire and ability to understand and engage mo
 re constructively with conflicting political opinions today.\n\nEach class
  will present a mahloket (disagreement) in classical Jewish texts that is 
 relevant to a unique aspect of modern life and contemporary challenges. Fo
 r example\, our classes will cover topics such as DEI (diversity\, equity 
 and inclusion)\, truth vs peace\, public shaming\, and if Zionists and ant
 i-Zionists can share the same tent.\n\nFor a complete list of dates and to
 pics click here.  Classes will be ~every other Sunday beginning January 5
  through March 30 from 10:30 until 11:45 am at Temple Emek Shalom in Ashla
 nd\, Oregon or on Zoom. No Hebrew or prior study is necessary for this cou
 rse.\n\nYou can register for the class here.  This class will be free for
  TES members and cost $120 for non-TES member households.  All donations/
 fees cover the costs of security\, class materials\, and technology.  If 
 the cost is a barrier to your attending\, please contact Rabbi Julie (rabb
 ijulie@emekshalom.org).
