Thursday, January 15 at 5pm PT / 7pm CT / 8pm ET
Join us for our next monthly Open Hour, a space for conversation across our educator community. Each session begins with a brief 10-minute pulse on highlights from the field, followed by open conversation, questions, and shared learning.
January’s Open Hour will be hosted by Max Pivo, The iCenter’s Manager of Partnerships, and Rachel See, Senior Director of Programs & iFellows. Come with an idea or a challenge, or simply listen in. Stay for ten minutes or the full hour. Colleagues are welcome! It’s a low-lift, high-value space to think, connect, and recharge together
Thursday, January 22 at 9am PT / 11am CT / 12pm ET / 7pm Israel
What shapes who we are, and how can humor help us see one another more clearly?
Join us for a 75-minute, highly interactive workshop led by comedian, educator, and television host Hasan Haj. Through humor, storytelling, and guided reflection, participants will explore identity as something lived, layered, and deeply human.
This participatory experience invites learners to map their own identities while encountering the lived realities of Arab citizens of Israel. Along the way, participants will gain practical tools and adaptable frameworks they can bring back to classrooms, camps, and communal spaces to help learners engage questions of identity with curiosity, empathy, and openness.
Hasan Haj is a comedian, educator, and television host based in Haifa. He leads educational and cultural programs with Beit HaGefen, works with HatTrick supporting Arab youth in storytelling and public speaking, and hosts The Youth Parliament, a television show focused on issues facing Arab youth in Israel. His recent comedy show, “Almost Human,” reflects on life as an Arab citizen of Israel.

Join Conflicts of Interest faculty Max Pivo and Or Shemer for an hour-long conversation designed for educators seeking to process and respond to this evolving moment.
