Jewish Faith Network

Who We Are 

The Jewish Faith Network supports Jewish clergy in navigating the toxic polarization within their congregations and in the broader American society. Our work combines Jewish wisdom with the latest in social science and neuroscience to support faith leaders in assessing and addressing the spiritual crisis of toxic polarization.

The Jewish Faith Network works with Jewish faith leaders and Jewish communities to build a united American society and eliminate toxic polarization through intra-faith and multi-faith collaboration, cohort learning, peer-to-peer learning, and local and national outreach.

What We Offer

The Eilu v’Eilu Intensive is a suite of facilitated workshops using scientific and evidence-based research to help leaders understand division. It can be structured in a variety of ways, combining online and/or in-person sessions.
