In this divisive time, how can we maintain civil dialogue, even with those with whose views we completely disagree?
Forward editor-in-chief Jane Eisner seeks to find the answer. On October 18, she’ll host a discussion titled, “How Liberals and Conservatives Can Find a Common Language,” alongside Bret Stephens, New York Times columnist and senior contributor for NBC, and Peter Beinart, contributing editor at the Forward and The Atlantic.
