Adult Ed Series: Exploring our Fears around America’s Division

Pirkei Avot 1.6 teaches us to “…judge every person meritoriously.” Living out this value is easier said than done. In this session, participants learn current research and data on division and polarization in American society. Such research shows that our perceptions are often different from reality. Our assumptions about the views of the other side are often incorrect, and moreover, we make incorrect assumptions about how others view us.Participants will have the opportunity to discuss the research findings and consider how it does/does not speak to our lived experiences. We will explore ways to overcome our own tendencies to make judgments and assumptions and Jewish teachings around this value.

Congregation Emeth and the One America Movement invite you to:
Eiluv’Eilu, These and Those: Exploring Polarization In A Time of Division

This series will be held via Zoom from 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM PT.
