A Facilitated Workshop from Braver Angels

Depolarizing Ourselves, especially for our Jewish community

A workshop designed to help you lessen the effects of polarization in your political

conversations. By “polarization,” we don’t mean healthy disagreements over issues but

how we regard and talk about groups of people on the other side of our own politics as if

they were enemies. This 90 minute group session is customized for our Jewish

community, but open to all. It is led by volunteer Braver Angels Facilitators.
