Noa and Sam met after a fiery back-and-forth in The Seattle Times. Since then, they have been organizing intra-communal dialogue for Jews across a very wide spectrum and inspiring others to do the same (like this podcast).
In this conversation, introduced by educator Beth Huppin, Noa and Sam share their experience of building understanding and engaging in challenging conversations. They go through the exercise of a negotiated “we agree” statement, share how differently they see and experience things, and consider some core differences in the communities they come from and inhabit today.
