It's Happening In Miami

WEBINAR: Thursday, November 2, 8-9:15 PM

Join Moving Traditions for an honest one-hour conversation about how parents and teens can keep talking about the war in Israel and Gaza even as we may find ourselves with very different sources of information, peer groups, and possible responses to the ongoing war.

Moving Traditions CEO Shuli Karkowsky will sit down with a panel of experts to talk about the psychology behind how teens process the news, strategies to foster discussion when you agree and when you don't, and how to set boundaries for discourse and root those boundaries in love. The panel will include: • Dr. Julie Hirschfeld, a psychologist and parent coach • Dr. Jonathan Golden, Director of Drew University’s Center on Religion, Culture & Conflict • Rabbi Daniel Brenner, Moving Traditions' VP of Education • Emily Levine, a Kol Koleinu Teen Feminist Fellow who attends Scarsdale High School in NY and Westchester Reform Temple
