Since January 2023, Israeli society has undergone unprecedented turmoil over the government’s controversial proposed judicial overhaul, with massive nationwide weekly protests and strikes against the legislation. In July the coalition passed the first bill in its plan, leading to even greater outcry and opposition. Each side believes that their cause is just, sometimes expressing a feeling that they share few values with those opposing them.
Now, more than ever, we encourage you to explore or revisit our timeless Values in Tension activity. It was crafted to help better understand views that differ from our own and recognize the shared values and nuance in opinions of all sides—with many of our differences lying in the way we prioritize them.
This activity does not seek to negate or gloss over significant ideological differences. Rather, it offers a portal into conversation that extends beyond specific disagreements, aimed at finding common ground and building bridges, despite our differences.
