Transform Difficult Conversations into Connection
Join For the Sake of Argument for an interactive workshop where we’ll practice arguing about Israel and other charged topics — helping you reframe disagreement as something healthy and necessary for learning, growth, and stronger relationships. Because these conversations can feel tense, even with the people we love most, this lively, story-driven evening introduces a fresh approach that helps people listen with curiosity, speak with courage, and find connection across differences.
Marking 30 years since the assassination of Yitzak Rabin, on Yom Rabin (Yitzhak Rabin Memorial Day in Israel) and reminds us that communities stay strong only when we can argue without dehumanizing — and disagree without destroying. Together, we’ll practice healthy disagreement and leave with practical tools you can use at home, at work, and in the community.

Come join Braver Angels for a FREE workshop at Xavier University. Register using the QR code in the flyer.
This is a free Braver Angels workshop that teaches skills for communication across the political divide. In this polarized time, we lack basic understanding of why people on the other political side hold their beliefs. We don’t see them as they see themselves–their core values and central concerns–but instead as we choose to see them. We are tempted to regard our own side as principled and the other side as self-interested. And when we try to communicate across this gap, we often lack the skills for listening carefully, looking for common ground, and sharing our perspectives in ways that connect rather than create more misunderstanding. We can learn to disagree better in polarized times, which means accurately seeing where we differ and where we share common ground.
Goals of the workshop:
