  • Résumé

  • An independent podcast with Rory Michelle Sullivan and Nashira Pearlusing the Mahloket Matters methodology from The Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies


    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.

    2: Competing Commitments
    Oct 11 2024
    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?
    Oct 11 2024
    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.
