Press & Narrative Change

Through this summer and fall we're inviting you on a journey to help us all navigate the fault lines between our communities. Together, we will digest a variety of books and films that will help us explore and better understand what is at stake for Muslims, for Jews, for Palestinians and for Israelis.

Our first film, There Is Another Way, will be screened at a private home in Beverly Hills on Thursday, August 7 at 6:30 PM. Please RSVP for the address. Even if you missed the session, we encourage you to read High Conflict before you join us for the upcoming film sessions.

Student protests at universities across the country captured our attention in both traditional and social media. This film and the next one in our series, October 8, look at these campus protests from opposing angles. To broaden our understanding of what Muslim and Jewish communities in the US are facing, we need to understand the rhetoric of both sides of this argument. In nearly all cases, protests were much more peaceful than the media portrayed them to be. In some cases, they were most certainly not.  Even if you missed the session, we encourage you to read High Conflict before you join us for the upcoming film sessions.

Our award-winning MAJIC High School Leadership program is accepting applications and nominations for the next cohort. This is an incredible opportunity for teens to build their capacity to navigate difficult conversations fraught with disagreement, develop leadership skills, and explore how to interrupt cycles of violence. Even if you missed the session, we encourage you to read High Conflict before you join us for the upcoming film sessions.
