SUMMARY:Crossroads: The Israel Edition - Educator and Jewish Communal Professionals Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Across the field of Jewish education\, conversations about Israel have become increasingly complex. Educators and learners alike are searching for language and confidence to navigate a topic that can feel emotionally charged and polarizing. How do we teach pride without ignoring pain? How do we model solidarity that comforts and also changes lives? How can love and critique coexist? \nThis half-day training gathers educators and Jewish communal professionals together to explore these questions. Drawing on M²’s Conflict Pedagogy\, participants will learn how to transform tension and disagreement into meaningful educational opportunities. Rather than avoiding conflict\, they will practice how to hold multiple truths\, guide students through values-based reflection and design learning experiences that invite curiosity\, empathy and conviction. \nAt the center of the workshop are Crossroads: The Israel Edition cards: a set of forty beautifully designed\, values-driven scenarios that mirror the full scope of the student experience. Each scenario presents a real-world dilemma involving competing values such as belonging and integrity\, pride and safety or empathy and responsibility. Each participant will receive a full deck to bring back to their school or organization\, enabling them to use the cards in classrooms\, retreats or informal settings to spark nuanced dialogue and deepen connection. \nThe Crossroads training helps educators and Jewish communal professionals to move beyond fear or paralysis toward confidence and creativity\, empowering them to model for their learners that wrestling with Israel is not a sign of division\, but a pathway to deeper understanding and stronger Jewish identity. \nA kosher lunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:How Do You Talk to an Angel?
DESCRIPTION:This talk explores how Jews in antiquity imagined\, structured\, and enacted communication with angels through ritual and magical practices. Drawing on late antique Jewish texts—including amulets\, incantations\, and ritual handbooks—the talk examines the frameworks these sources provide for imagining conversations with invisible beings\, from modes of address and ritual sequencing to techniques of compulsion and negotiation. Far from being marginal or “superstitious\,” these materials reveal a sophisticated ritual grammar that overlaps with contemporary Greek and Christian magical traditions while articulating distinct Jewish theological concerns. \nBy attending to language\, material practices\, and ritual expertise\, the talk situates Jewish angelic communication within broader ancient conversations about divine accessibility\, authority\, and the boundaries between prayer\, ritual\, and magic. \n \nMika Ahuvia is an Associate Professor of Classical Judaism at the University of Washington. \nShe is the author of On My Right Michael\, On My Left Gabriel: Angels in Ancient Jewish Culture (University of California Press\, 2021)\, and her research focuses on ritual practice\, angels\, and lived religion in late antique Judaism\, in comparative perspective. \nThis talk is part of the “Conversations with Gods: Divination in the Ancient World” speaker series
