This year’s theme is “Radical Civility: Fostering Connections in a Combative World” at Temple Israel. The panel discussions will be guided by the President of the Jewish Historical Society of Michigan, Jeannie Weiner. It will also feature Wayne State University’s Director of the Center for Peace and Conflict Studies Dr. Pontus Leander, educator Barbara Flayer, Temple Israel’s Rabbi Josh Bennett and Bloomfield Hills High School student Eva Murphy. The event aims to address the incivility that has become default for many interactions between people of differing faiths, political viewpoints, and agendas and is particularly apt at this time of turmoil both in the Middle East and closer to home. Registration required.
