At a time when polarization around the world has never been greater, SHARON

BROUS, author and leading American rabbi, will talk with JEFFREY GOLDBERG,

editor in chief of The Atlantic, about the extraordinary challenges posed at every

level of society—social, familial, individual—by the most difficult and intractable

moral issues. How do we begin to talk honestly and effectively with each other, for

example, about Israel and Gaza? How do we talk about politics and the monumental

election facing us a few months from now? Freedom of speech? Religion, race,

gender? As the founding rabbi of IKAR in Los Angeles, one of the most diverse,

fastest-growing, and influential Jewish communities in the nation, Rabbi Brous has

spent the last 20 years trying to foster conversations and thoughtfulness that can

see us through these seemingly impossible times.
