In this fourth and final episode, we share a few specific tools from Pardes's Makhloket Matters Fellowship, taught to us by Rachel Dingman, facilitator for Resetting the Table and Senior Director of Jewish Enrichment at BBYO. Using signposts and following meaning questions, we have a different conversation about where we disagree than we would have had without the Makhloket Matters methodology - and we hope that you can apply these tools and skills to have more resilient, compassionate conversations in the midst of conflict as well.

Content warning: Specific acts of violence are named between 35:30-35:52 and 37:06-37:30.
