In this important talk (10:54), Jewish youth educator Billy Planer encourages us to connect to those who are different from us, instead of separating ourselves out of fear and mistrust. Using the debates of the Talmud as a model for dialogue, he expresses the importance and challenges of engaging with those with whom we disagree and searching for points of connection. Planer is the founder of Etgar 26, an empowering summer journey that takes Jewish teens across America to encounter individuals from different backgrounds and belief systems, representing all sides of today’s most divisive political and social issues.
