The Jewish Federation of Greater Washington is proud to bring to our community a two-part educator training with For the Sake of Argument<\/a> (FSA) about engaging in disagreement about Israel, with the goal of building skills and confidence to disagree thoughtfully rather than avoiding challenging conversations.<\/p>\n

Led by\u00a0Abi Dauber Stern, cofounder of FSA, the training is for educators and\u00a0shlichim\u00a0(Israeli emissaries) working with high school, young adult, and adult learners.<\/p>\n

Supervisors, directors, clergy, and lay leaders are invited to join us for the opening session to experience firsthand a typical FSA workshop and gain insight into what our local\u00a0shlichim\u00a0and educators will be learning.<\/p>\n

Educators are expected to attend both dates for a deeper dive and to gain practical application tools.<\/p>\n

This training supports Federation\u2019s commitment to an open-tent, pluralistic Jewish community and is part of our broader Israel engagement strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
