From Two Sides to All Sides: Resilient listening and compassionate conversations in the midst of conflictAn independent podcast with Rory Michelle Sullivan and Nashira Pearl
using the Mahloket Matters methodology from The Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies |
|
In this four episode podcast, Rory Michelle and Nashira - two committed, passionate American Jews who care deeply about Judaism and productive dialogue - share our learning and unlearning about the Israel-Palestine conflict from a place of humanizing everyone implicated. We explore the perspectives we’ve encountered through organized trips to the area, our own reading, and how that plus our own upbringing has influenced our understanding of the issues. Our goal is to share what we’ve learned, including how to have constructive, generative disagreement with others, using the Mahloket Matters methodology from The Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies which combines Jewish wisdom and social psychology to generate discussion, critical thinking, personal growth, and the deepening of relationships. Listen if you’ve ever wondered: “How could they possibly think that?!”, sometimes feel that there is no hope for talking with people who think differently, or if you are afraid to talk or even ask about these issues and don’t know where to start. Our intention is to expand the conversation on the Israel-Palestine conflict from two sides to all sides while giving you hope and tools to talk about it productively in your own life.

PRAISE FOR FROM TWO SIDES TO ALL SIDES
"Entertaining and informative. I've been thinking about competing commitments in my personal life." - AR, Oregon
"From Two Side to All sides is a thoughtful deep dive into how to have important conversations. While the subject matter is ostensibly talking about Israel/Palestine, it's really sharing a framework that can be applied to any difficult or challenging topic. Rory and Nashira both model how to have disagreement, and step back and explain the methodology behind their conversation. If you are someone who avoids tricky conversations, this podcast is for you. It will give you tools and steps to practice to build a muscle you didn't know you needed. I learned so much for this podcast in its 4 short episodes, and it's one I may have to revisit every year or two for a refresher. Our time is precious, and Rory and Nashira make the most of these 4 episodes to share a potentially life changing methodology. If we could all have tough conversations in a thoughtful way, the world would be a much better place. Too often we run around conflict, rather than tackling it with intention, empathy, and kindness. Listen to this podcast and then try to have one tough conversation this week that you've been putting off!" - Andrew Davies, Founder of the Bible Players
