Developing Skills for Hard Conversations with NewGround

Join the Bay Area Jewish Youth Resilience Roundtable and NewGround as we explore and practice techniques for discussing differences and charged issues. By doing so, we will grow our own capacity to create spaces for Jewish adolescents to practice and strengthen their own abilities to discuss hard topics while being in community with those with differing ideas, beliefs, and perspectives.

• Format: One-time. In-person gathering at Temple Sinai in Oakland.
• Facilitated by: Tasneem Noor, Program Director of NewGround: A Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change, and Jewish LearningWorks’ Senior Educator, Alisha Pedowitz.
• Early bird fee: Register for $36 by January 2, 2026.
• Regular registration fee: The program fee rises to $40 after the early bird deadline.
