With the High Holidays now upon us and the first yahrzeit of October 7th just around the corner, many of us are preparing to enter difficult, and often uncomfortable, conversations — whether it be at home, school, or work. How do we even begin to transform these moments into meaningful opportunities for connection and learning, rather than letting them become yet another source of tension and pain?
Yetzirah: A Hearth for Jewish Poetry, held its second Jewish Poetry Conference this past July and their board wrestled with the same question. They shared: “At the conference we wanted to do what we hope to do in our writing, which is to name what is real and challenging before us, and to go toward it with nuance and curiosity, to the best of our ability.“
For Lilith, they shared the methodology and template used to facilitate the conversation in the hope that more of us will be willing and able to name the pain we are facing, even if we disagree about the causes and the ways to alleviate that pain, and engage in meaningful, heartfelt, open dialogue.
